I do trust my moderators to login into member accounts to investigate the issues. But I do not want them to look into AdminCP with full permission:

• they should not be able to change something by accident, as they are technically unexperienced
• they should not be able to see payment history as this is not their business 😉 

That's different to the original question and your original post though. The original point was allowing staff to log in as one user but not as another one. That's not related to technical proficiency or the chance of them making a mistake, that's purely related to whether you trust them or not, in my opinion. 

Particularly bearing in mind that just because a super-mod could log in as an admin, it still wouldn't mean they had full access to the acp, as that's separate, as far as I'm aware.

Use case: moderator logs in as member to investigate the reported issue. Helpful to distinguish if the issue is reproducable e. g. permissions issue. Or if not, then probably browser-based. This helps to instruct the user further. 

Indeed the moderator should be able to login as member only, not as other moderator and not as admin.

But, if you look at it as if you're a member of that community - if someone is going to be able to login as me, then I expect that person to be trustworthy. If the owner of the community doesn't trust them to login to their account, why should I trust that person to login to my account?

@Randy Calvert, it won't help. Using restricted access is designed to use specific admin permissions for specific member or group. Problem here is the "Sign as member" privilege which allows to sign as any member. let's say you give "assign as member" to your super mods or junior admins - they will be able to login as you - his majesty the king ^^

Thing is, if you're concerned that by logging in as you they could do bad things, I wonder why you'd trust them to login as anyone, or indeed to login to the ACP at all?

Maybe my version - the font was too large? Not sure 😅 

I did see there's a browser extension. However, I couldn't find one for smart phones - so maybe having it in the community platform vs relying on an extension would still be our best bet. 

I think there are a few paid for apps on iOS which plug into it, not sure about Android. But, I suppose if there were to be a plugin or something available for invision community, I'd be open to trying it.

I used a generator 😇 

https://api.bionic-reading.com/convert/

There's an API on another site so in theory if someone loves it, perhaps it could work within a community. Low-key curious about how people would use it. 

I was just wondering as I've found the bionic text to be really good previously, but it didn't seem as effective in your post for some reason.

It's an interesting prospect for a community but I wonder if those who want to use it will just install the browser extensions, app etc?

Ok, thanks for your help. 

Thanks, is there any additional control over where ads show - for instance we may want them to show in a particular forum or topic?

Hi, I'm trying to find out what the additional advertising features are if you add the commerce module to your community. I can't seem to find a lot on the website, so wondering if anyone can let me know the differences, or point me in the right direction?

Thanks

The layout shifts near the top of the screen in live topics when there is another user online. The space really needs to be reserved on page load to avoid it impacting CLS scores on core web vitals, I think.

@Jordan Miller - can I ask, did you use the bionic reading app to make your post, or was it a DIY job?

Trying to save you some time here, but regardless of when you installed your third party add-ons, it's best to try it with them switched off to make sure the problem isn't related.

There's an option in superpages to use thumbnails rather than the full size images. Selecting that may help

Maybe try something like buffer - there's a free plan on there. Although it's not automated in the same way as promoted content does it, it's a fairly quick way to publish to social media.

I don't think this is a cloudflare issue, it's a server issue behind it. 

We really like the fluid combined view option, but unless the respect pinned topics setting is set for the forum index fluid view, it doesn't respect them. As it's quite a different scenario between the 2 options, it would be good to have the option (per forum perhaps) to respect pinned topics for the combined view, even if it's not set for the full fluid view. 

I see the problem - we don't have honor pinned topics set for the standard fluid view, and I assume that setting carries over even though it's two quite different things. But, ultimately it's probably not a bug - but it would be nice to be able to set it for the combined fluid view on a per forum basis. 

Hi, more a bug report than a support request this. If combined fluid view is switched on in a forum, it currently doesn't display pinned topics at the top, they just appear in the listing the same as any other topic. 

Honestly, I can't see there being a setting to save you if a few downloads or uploads kills the site. Think you're going to have to upgrade your hosting.

If you use Google tag manager you can push event/commerce or any sort of data your like through it, to be added to things like Google analytics.

Maybe make an enterprise only membership and forum then. Who really cares if you will never be an enterprise client? Why do I need to know about something I will never have available to me? I've wasted time reading someting thinking its a great new feature, that in turn, will not exist for me and many, many others. 

Where does that sort of thing begin and end though. Should they not announce updates to the gallery (for instance) because it may annoy those who don't have it? 

The communication has been a bit off with this, and it seems like lessons have been learned there. So, maybe just accept that there'll be threads on here which aren't of interest to you, and move on?

Well, that’s the “marketing talk” way of saying it. It’s already in black and white on the pricing page:

Ah, well Jordan's original statement feels a bit disingenuous then. Not great, I have to say.

Since video streaming is an enterprise option only

Has this been confirmed - I think @Jordan Miller said it was for 'select' cloud plans?

Why not just use that tool on your IPS forum?

It can take Google search results several weeks, if not into months to settle down when you redirect to be URLs etc. It's a waiting game I'm afraid.

No entitlement, just disappointed that IPS deem it beyond the capabilities of the self-hosting crowd to implement this at their own discretion, instead of forcing that decision upon them which ironically should be what differentiates their managed hosting (closed ecosystem, less choice) from self-hosting (greater flexibility, more effort needed).

 

But, that's their prerogative. Maybe they don't believe it's a reasonable use of their resources to develop a solution for what it's reasonable to assume would be a small handful of self-hosted clients who may be prepared to both create the correct environment on their side and pay Invision for access to the additional functionality.
