When checking my database tables for my Community I can see that it consists of 199 tables. Might there be some forum tables that were used by old versions of "IP-Board" that are no longer needed, so I might be able to skip them when switching to InnoDB?

Yes, that might very well be the case. There might also be extra tables left over by old third party stuff. The best way to go about this imo is to install a new forum at your test installation and then compare its tables with those from your main forum's database to weed out the extra tables that aren't a default part of your main forum's database.

It looks sharp...

Wow and WOw! Great job folks!

Deprecation has already begun. There will be further announcements once we have entered the different tiers of EOL (no new features > only security updates > no support). Then there will be an announcement for migration to version 5 for Cloud clients at some point in that mix or after. It just really depends. We will give as much advanced warning as possible.

Hi Jim. Our forum relies heavily on a few custom PHP applications utilizing PHP code blocks. I see that is being depreciated. An entire rework of the site to make it fit Invision 5 isn't currently within scope for us. Do you have a rough estimate for how long you will be providing security updates for Invision 4? Like, 3 years, a year, 6 months? Will we continue to be able to purchase the license for Invision 4 to continue receiving those updates for that time period?

Knowing roughly where we stand will let us better plan for our next steps.

As things stand, 2025/2026 is what is in the deprecation tracker. We are unable to give any more than that, as quite simply, we havent gotten to that decision point as of yet
