Disable Idea Summary - Check Box

When an Idea reaches a threshold where it will make the Idea box grow in any list view, the system automatically truncates the description and shows a more link, which will expand to the full text. This checkbox will disable that feature.

New Idea In Sidebar - Radio Button Selection

In the sidebar on all pages except the home page there can either be a small form to create a new idea or a button. This option chooses which will show in that position.

Hide Insecure Content while viewing Community in HTTPS

Some browsers display warnings or display alarming messages to users when HTTP (non-encrypted) content is shown while viewing an HTTPS (encrypted) page. Some of the features of IdeaScale include insecure content provided by third parties such as Twitter and Facebook social networking integration.

Checking this checkbox will disable features that use an insecure connection (HTTP) to fetch data while on secure (HTTPS) pages.

NOTE: Enabling this feature in conjunction with SSL will disable some features site-wide (Social Networking for example) because all pages will be rendered in a secure connection.
