Even though we're not quite ready to go super in-depth about Live Topics, our live question and answer event platform built into Invision Community, we're very excited to share a sneak peak!
 

Let us know what you spot!

Why do you immediately conclude that self-hosted client servers are outdated and lack the features listed above? It's just a cover. Because if someone can't prepare the environment, it's their problem not yours.

Our support team has first hand experience in the drama of self-hosted servers. There's multi-page topics with people having trouble just upgrading to PHP8 🙂

Having two Matts still sometimes scares me.

I'll post Randy's handy chart here again. S = Self Hosted and C = Cloud

but I am afraid that soon there will only be a cloud .... It is clearly visible that it is heading towards the only cloud. Matter of time.

Seem so, I am already testing another platform, if I switch it will be indeed a long run with IPS since before 2002 even

Sadly tho.
