I upgraded my dev install from 5.0.0 to 5.0.3 absolutely fine. :)

It's not just TrustPilot. Capterra has fantastic feedback and can further show positive rep for the Invision product. https://www.capterra.com/p/184942/Invision-Community/reviews/

Can I just add, it's nice to know who replied to the feedback. This type of openness shows Invision is transparent and more than just a faceless company. (I am not suggesting Invision is; what I am saying is, from the appearance of feedback, it might seem so to readers.) That personal touch is a big acknowledgment. Also, I don't want to sound nitpicky, but your feedback to all reviews says a lot, and I would encourage more than just thanking people who leave 4/5-star reviews. The approach to negative reviews is fine, but you could take the approach of what you can do to improve them—even if the person seems unwilling. By leaving a bit more of a response to good reviews, it shows how genuine and appreciated they are. Some readers will be skeptical and will judge every word, so my point in this comment is to ensure that those who put time into reviewing Invision don't get dismissed as disingenuous or potentially fake. I'm sure all this is known, but it's worth considering what, with the way people actually read reviews. Amazon, etc, have given things a bit of a bad reputation, and I think those who might be reading about Invision in this scenario will see a difference, that's all.

Personally, I think you handled it better because you kept it public. The private route can lead to further trouble, especially if someone is having a bad time. Seeing messages disappear in seconds, and not getting a chance to read or understand them. Followed by never having been rude, but feeling as if you can't give feedback. With mental health these days, you never know what it's like for the other person, but swearing and being abusive isn't acceptable.

It's scary how easily Microsoft emails are hacked, compared to others. I have never lost access to an account, but my Microsoft email has been targeted by an attempted access, and it's a scary thought that you might lose it. Just as it would be to lose your site, both cases are equally important. I think members are very inclined to reach out the moment that they have lost access to their email, and there are more practical ways of dealing with lost emails. Seek members to come to you; try to verify that they are the person. It's not easy, but you could ask them things that demonstrate that they are the person behind the lost account. Verify where they live, hobbies, etc. I don't think a hacker would seek their victim's web forum accounts; it's more likely credit cards and things linked to finances. Or, taking over social media profiles to scam people.

Yes, it's become the featured page now. https://invisioncommunity.com/featured/

The plugin you are looking for is: Message on Signup Form By Edward Shephard Unfortunately, I don't remember who Edward is. I hope someone can help you track it down.

There used to be a free plugin which did this, are you using v5? If that's the case I don't know if there's anything out there yet that does this. It's something I do myself. -Edit Sorry, I'll find the link to the plugin I use, I see you are using v4. I'm currently on my mobile, but I'll find it.

Do you use cPanel, DirectAdmin or something else? You can basically edit your php.ini file, but it also depends on the type of hosting you have. If you do manage to disable the extensions, yet still continue to see the message. Clear your site's cache via the support tool and sign out. When you sign back in, it should be gone. Personally, I found I had to disable the extensions on my server and in the php.ini file. Another client suggested to me that I should sign out, and when I did, the message disappeared and has not once come back. Yet in the past, before this, I just changed the php.ini and it did briefly go away, but later returned a few months later. I'm not sure exactly, but I found a topic discussing it, and I followed the advice, which was to disable the extensions, exclude them in the php.ini, clear the cache, and sign out and back in. I hope you manage to disable them.

Thank you, @Ehren for taking into consideration the feedback that has been provided here. I do think it makes a welcome return, and shows just that the unlikely thought of its return is wrong.

You can still sell physical items, just without the weight measurements and shipping etc. @Gary sells physical products on his site. So, I can't convert items into a version that works on v5? I have existing links on the internet, that use the URLs as a means to bring in customers. I'm just trying to retain what I can, but it sounds like I can't. Could you please ensure this is the case.

How do you convert physical products from v4 to v5.0? Would you please be able to explain what I should do? I tried during the betas and final, but I ended up with locked items. Please could you avice me? Do I need to change something before?

There have been resources in the past, at least for v4 that allowed you to customise this type of thing but that comes without using the default browser's player.

Be careful editing databases in order to change the language strings. I'm surprised that nobody else has warned this, usually everything related to database isn't wise to recommend and is discouraged. There's got to be a safer means to edit the language strings?
