I understand that you've done the math but success should not come at the expense of suffering that you inflict on others. No matter the cost of enterprise and scalability, there are always ways to look after the little guy.

I wish everyone the best and my heart goes out to all the people and their communities who won't recover from this decision.

Perhaps we can help each other find a different path? Don't hesitate to reach out to me and know you're not alone.

The cheapest hosted plan is more than TRIPLE what I am currently paying (from $30 a month to $100 a month). How are smaller communities supposed to deal with cost increases this insane?

But that got me to thinking that having something like that on my Invision forum would be a big help. Here are my thoughts on how we could use it:

• Monitor posts to ensure they meet the guidelines and alerting the moderators if they don't. I try to read every post to make sure my members are playing by the guidelines, but that is a daunting task as the forum grows.
  

• Reminding folks in a day or so if they've been mentioned but they've not responded. I try to respond to everyone, but that is getting difficult given the growth of the forum.
  

• Answering technical questions. ForaFrank says that he has "read a colossal library of automotive information from all over the web, including technical manuals, enthusiast sites, and forums."

I'm sure there would be lots of other uses, so have you thought about that? Would you, please?

As a new admin I didn't know that they are the same and had to ask for help figuring out how my members could opt in on receiving bulk mail. And with my memory I will probably forget that soon. So could we please make them the same?

The current process is fiddly and requires several time consuming steps to produce a Spoiler box for the end user who must learn the process, or require the site Admin to add Javascript to each installed Theme.

The end user should ideally be able to simply highlight the chosen text and hit the Wrap in Spoiler option, under the Create dropdown.

Thank you for your consideration.

If you truly want the platform to grow in line with the needs of your customers, this would make a huge difference. It would give both the community and the IC team clear, transparent insight into which ideas have the most interest and support.

Right now, we have no idea what direction the platform will take, what features are planned, or how priorities are decided. Each release is more of a surprise than a collaborative roadmap.

For example, Microsoft has a dedicated feedback site where users can submit requests and vote on them. This allows the company to clearly see what customers value most and customers can see the status of their suggestions (planned, in progress, declined, etc.).

At the moment, the Feedback forum feels more like a suggestion box you post your idea, and then it disappears into the void. There’s no clarity on whether it has been reviewed, rejected, or scheduled for development. That’s why we often see members following up in old suggestion threads asking if there’s any news.

A voting system would make the whole process more transparent and ensure the platform evolves in ways that align with what the community really wants.

Invision Community v5.0.9 page edit tools look like this:

How do we code live links?

Theme setting "User content font-size (%)" not respected in editor

I'm using the default 110% font-size for user content, but the font in the editor always uses 100%. I received complaints from my clients that the font in the editor differs from the font in the final post.

In mobile view, links to read/unread topics have similar font weights

Using the table style for the forum index, links to read topics can not be distinguish from topics with unread posts. I think the CSS setting .ipsData--category .ipsData__last-primary for @container (max-width:750px) is wrong and should be removed.

Account page ("Signatures") uses an incorrect layout

Useless "Edit Profile" link

I have disabled the birthday setting in the user profiles, still there is a button "Edit Profile" in the user menu which opens an empty page with "There are no profile customizations available right now." I think it is better to hide this link if there are no settings to modify.

Topic preview is missing links

When previewing topics, there is no way to visit either the first or latest post:

I hope some of these points can be fixed in one of the next versions. I really appreciate your work on the new V5!

Consequently changing the available editor in Member groups is not an effective option . This seems odd since, at least on my site, many if not most regular Members will be confused with it.

Any way to disable it? What is the intended use case for non tech Members?

I had a number of past featured events still showing in the featured events carousel. Should this be the case, or should they automatically hide beyond the event's ending date (which is the behaviour I assumed would be correct)?

Now that we have the ability to sell advertisements through emails, it makes sense to adopt a pay-per-click model rather than a fixed price. This gives buyers more flexibility and control, allowing them to determine how much they're willing to spend based on actual engagement rather than a flat fee. It’s a more performance-based approach, and likely to attract more advertisers looking for measurable ROI.

If this would be implemented, then it would make sense for any other advertising as well.

I wanted to share some feedback regarding the WYSIWYG editor. When you click to add a link using the top toolbar and continue typing, the only ways to exit the link input mode are by pressing the "Enter" key or the "Right Arrow" key on your keyboard. Otherwise, you're stuck typing inside the link, and it's not possible to escape it.

It would be more convenient if you could exit the link input mode by pressing the "Space" key twice, or by pressing "Enter" while staying on the same line where you were typing.

Yes I know the email is verified when registering but that doesn't account for existing members who verified their email 5,6 10+ years ago.

For example, I'd love to award a $15 gift card when someone completes a specific quest. Right now, that kind of reward needs to be handled manually. It's not a huge issue, but it would be helpful if we could set up rules like:

When => Member completes "Quest"
Then => For the user who completed the Quest:

• Award Badge

• Award $15 Gift Card

There are a few other quests where I ran into similar limitations with the "New Achievement Rule," but I can't recall the exact scenarios off the top of my head - they'll probably come back to me later. (The age is catching up on me...)

So basically, what I'm hoping for is more flexibility with the "When" and "Then" options on the rules page. I'm not sure how complex that is to implement, but if anyone can pull it off, it's Invision! 😄

Reason why this matters is that we run a marketplace where members can create their own listings and after somewhile wish to remove the content.

SELECT DISTINCT author_id FROM forums_posts WHERE topic_id=19336

Upon inspecting the indexes available for forums_posts the following was returned:

Wouldn't it be sensible to build a dedicated index just for the purpose of rebuilding the search?

CREATE INDEX idx_topicid_authorid ON forums_posts (topic_id, author_id);

I never cared much for the way the apps I use are built, but given that I have to debug some stuff still, certain performance improvements would be nice.

Then, in the postComplete() function, I reset the flag for the member once the task is done running:

	/**
	 * Perform post-completion processing
	 *
	 * @param	array	$data		Data returned from preQueueData
	 * @param	bool	$processed	Was anything processed or not? If preQueueData returns NULL, this will be FALSE.
	 * @return	void
	 */
	public function postComplete( $data, $processed = TRUE )
	{
		$data = json_decode( $data['data'], TRUE );
		
		# Once the task is complete update the member status to READY
		$member = Member::load( $data['member_id'] );
		$member->custom_flag_field = Suggestion::STATUS_READY;
		$member->save();
	}

The code above works just fine as long as there is any data to process for the member. However, when the member has nothing to parse, and preQueueData() returns NULL, the postComplete() function doesn't have any data on which member to reset the flag for.

The Task::queue() function should be updated to at least still pass the original $data variable values instead of NULL (or an empty array in v5). This is the current code:

		if ( method_exists( $extensions[ $key ], 'preQueueData' ) )
		{
			$class = new $extensions[ $key ];
			try
			{
				$data = $class->preQueueData( $data );
			}
			catch( \OutOfRangeException $e )
			{
				$data = NULL;
			}

			if ( $data === NULL )
			{
				if ( method_exists( $class, 'postComplete' ) )
				{
					$class->postComplete( $data, FALSE );
				}
				
				return;
			}
		}

Here's my suggested change:

		if ( method_exists( $extensions[ $key ], 'preQueueData' ) )
		{
			$class   = new $extensions[ $key ];
			$oldData = $data;
			try
			{
				$data = $class->preQueueData( $oldData );
			}
			catch( \OutOfRangeException $e )
			{
				$data = NULL;
			}

			if ( $data === NULL )
			{
				if ( method_exists( $class, 'postComplete' ) )
				{
					$class->postComplete( $oldData, FALSE );
				}
				
				return;
			}
		}

I store the original values in $oldData and pass that variable to both preQueueData() and postComplete().

If $data ends up being NULL, it properly passes the original values at least, if $data is a proper array instead, the code keeps processing everything else as usual.

===

The code is slightly different in v5, where an empty array is passed instead of NULL, but the change is also still relevant for it.

It would be very helpful to have a monthly upload limit per usergroup. It is also something which could be monetized. Perhaps two limits: one for images (which are usually the problem); and another for all other files.
