Management Charles Posted Sunday at 06:14 PM Management Posted Sunday at 06:14 PM We’ve got some exciting news! All communities hosted on the Invision Community platform will be switching to Cloudflare Enterprise edition for CDN and Firewall services. This transition starts now and will be complete by the end of January 2025. Don’t worry, you won’t experience any downtime during this transition. If you do see any issues, like a secure certificate warning, just clear your cache and try again. If your community keeps getting connection errors for more than 5 minutes, please reach out to our support team. We’re thrilled to offer you these improvements, including enhanced security, faster speeds, and more redundancy. We’ll also be able to better control bots and filter bad-bots while still allowing Google, Bing, and other safe search engines to crawl your community. AI content scrapers have become a real pain for communities, constantly searching for great human-generated content. This change will help us control those AI bots. We’re confident that this transition will be smooth and hassle-free. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team. We’re excited to see these improvements and many more in the coming months! G17 Media, Ryan Ashbrook, Olivia Clark and 8 others 10 1

Day_ Posted Sunday at 11:24 PM Posted Sunday at 11:24 PM This is why I’m so happy being on the Cloud. You say it’s exciting, I’ve never heard of it, but I’m excited that you’re excited, continuously looking to improve the platform whilst I just sit back and relax 👍 Matt, Marc and Jim M 3
Dll Posted Monday at 12:08 PM Posted Monday at 12:08 PM Nice to see Invision finally get over their apparent pathological dislike of all things cloudflare and embrace its obvious advantages Rikki, Marc, SpiderVice and 2 others 2 3
Management Matt Posted Monday at 12:55 PM Management Posted Monday at 12:55 PM CloudFlare have worked really hard to build their business to become one of the best CDN/Firewalls on the market with excellent bot detection and attack mitigation. We always want the best for our Cloud Platform and we're happy that this means using CloudFlare. Marc and David N. 2
Randy Calvert Posted Monday at 03:54 PM Posted Monday at 03:54 PM That and I assume the savings vs AWS would be HUGE. As someone who has paid a few AWS bills before, I know how it can be a left arm, right leg, kidney, and first born. Most likely able to hire a few more people with the savings alone. 🤣 Matt and David N. 2

I think it works out slightly more expensive as we need to pay bandwidth from AWS to Cloudflare but it offers better protection and that ultimately is our goal. It should scrub more bot traffic which means less hits origin but overall, it won't really give us any savings. David N. 1
media Posted yesterday at 01:27 PM Posted yesterday at 01:27 PM Note sure I understand this, but I need to ask this a question to clarify something in my mind... I am using self-hosted version of IPB... Then I have this warning on my ACP So self-hosted version users are going to get rid of this warning after this upgrade or this only cloud version of IPB???? Thanks
Management Matt Posted yesterday at 03:07 PM Management Posted yesterday at 03:07 PM I think the issues with RocketLoader remain.
Randy Calvert Posted yesterday at 04:14 PM Posted yesterday at 04:14 PM This would not change anything. It would mean IPS would automatically have it disabled for any cloud customer that had been moved over. It does not magically fix any past feature compatibility issues. IPS is moving to CF for security, not for the rocketloader feature.
