Has anybody experienced problems with push notifications on phones? We set the manifest configuration in System > Settings > Web app > Manifest. This os our current situation: Push notifications (and red badge) are working fine in Desktop PWAs (chrome & edge), but not working at all in phones (iOS or Android), not notifications arriving nor badge showing. We tested on several devices without luck. Attached our current support stats: Thanks!

This is one of those behind the scenes improvements that you do not know happen but we still like to tell people about. All media that is uploaded to your community (images, videos, any sort of files) is now automatically replicated to a write-only backup within 5 minutes of upload. This means that backups of your media are basically continuous now. This part is not new but as a review.... For databases, we have two levels of backups: daily and weekly. Our daily snapshots are for catastrophic recovery and are extremely robust as they are replicated internally. The weekly backups are what I call "convenience backups" which might sound strange but let me explain. …

Our June release includes enhancements to our various statistics and reporting features included within the community. Statistics are important for a community platform because they provide valuable insights about user engagement, preferences, and behaviors, which directly inform the platform's strategy and design. Furthermore, statistics enable the monitoring of the platform's growth and user retention, which are essential for maintaining a vibrant and active community. In our June release, we have made some enhancements to those features that will allow you to more quickly monitor those trends. Saved Charts In Invision Community 4.3, we introduced th…

I know many of you are very curious how our cloud services work and how we manage things when we service thousands of Invision Community-powered sites on our platform. I am writing this quick post because I just got an alert from our monitoring systems and signed on to see what was happening. We use AWS WAF with both managed rules and our own, custom rule sets. With those both combined, we are able to filter a lot of malicious traffic. Sometimes people do attempt a direct attack on one of the communities we host. That is what is going on today. As I am typing this, our WAF setup is blocking 10 million requests per minute on our network. Yet, even with that …
