I am sure I speak for many when I say how deeply disappointed we are in the decision to effectively kill the smaller communities who were content with their forums for over a decade. 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. Länk till full forum post

Are there any plans of integrating an option to pay annually (for a discount) or pay monthly options to Commerce? https://invisioncommunity.com/buy/ Invision team is aware of how useful this is and how it's taken over the web, but hasn't implemented the feature to Commerce yet.

Hopefully, you will consider adding this feature to classic license. Länk till full forum post

I've been an Invision customer since 2005. I just received the email about the new pricing model moving forward. 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?

I'm on a forum called Full Sized Broncos and they have a new feature called ForaFrank which is an AI helper. I had a lengthy chat with "him" on what he can do, which you can see starting here. And you can see what he says about himself in his signature on the screenshot, below. 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…

@Marc has asked me to post this: Admins have the ability to send "bulk mail", and members have the option of receiving "newsletters" - and apparently those are the same thing. If that is true then could we, please, make them one and the same? 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? Länk till full forum post

Please can you improve spoiler functionality to the IC5 editor by adding an option for "Wrap in Spoiler" under the Create dropdown, similar to Wrap in Quote: 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. Länk till full forum post

I think it would be a great idea if the Invision Community team implemented a feature request voting system. This could be a dedicated module or page where all suggested features and changes are listed, and customers can vote on the ones they find most important. 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 colla…

I am not certain why (perhaps the name of the fields ) this will simply not work with 1Password. Länk till full forum post

Invision Community v4.7.22 page edit tools looked like this: Invision Community v5.0.9 page edit tools look like this: How do we code live links? Thanks Länk till full forum post

I have successfully upgraded to V5 without any issues, but I think there are some points left to polish the new version: Theme setting "User content font-size (%)" not respected in editorI'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 weightsUsing 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) …

I don't see any way to remove the code block option either completely or restricted within editor permissions. Selecting never for "can use headings" still leaves the code block option available after the Paragraph option regardless of editor level. Same for selecting never for "can use content boxes". 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? Länk till full forum post

Just wanted to check the expected behaviour here - 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)? Länk till full forum post

Hi all, 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.

Hello, 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.

As you're removing username login, users are expected to now use their email but many existing members have ancient email addresses that they no longer use. 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. Länk till full forum post

It's the first time really getting in depth with the Rules system, and I absolutely love it. But sometimes, the current rule system feels a bit limited in terms of what we can automate. 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 …

One thing I'm not wild about is having the active quests widget at the top of the forum. I get why it's there - otherwise people might forget about it -but it would be much better if the widget were customizable. Being able to move it to the sidebar, for example, would be a nice option. Thanks! Länk till full forum post

Just thought I'd also post about the following "design flaw" in the rules pages - As you can see, the dropdown could use some work. Länk till full forum post

We have the ability to queue content in certain forums for manual approval. However, we are unable to allow members specific permissions for specific forums beyond having the ability to read, post, create and download content in said areas. 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. Länk till full forum post

As title indicates - it feels odd that one has to press the enter key 3 times in order to separate AND then gain room under a quote in order to write underneath it. Most users said that they would wish for 1 key press to separate the quote and a 2nd in order to gain enough space to write under it. Right now they get confused and write their replies within the quote accidentially at times. Länk till full forum post

While I am rebuilding my search index for Elasticsearch, I noticed that the following SQL-statements take a long time to run: 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.

I made a custom application with a Queue extension task for a client. Before calling it, I set a custom flag for a specific member, whose ID I also pass as the $data['member_id'] variable. 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 membe…

Re: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/483796-monthly-quota-images-etc/ 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. Fuller explanation at the linked page. Länk till full forum post

When 'Users can see topics posted by other users' is disabled in Forum Permissions, 'Also here' should be disabled for that forum too. Since the most common reason to disable seeing other topics is for HelpDesk-type spaces, and since it is common for forum HelpDesks to deal with inter-member problems, it is better that members are not made aware of other members making potential complaints. Further, when 'see other topics' is disabled, there is no general utility in being aware of who else is using a HelpDesk forum. Länk till full forum post
