This looks great so far but will be a big pita to upgrade to it. Can't wait for the other previews, especially what you've done in the pages area. Please sign me in for alpha testing. Thanks.

My idea for a ChatGPT integration: autoregister new users let them create content that fits my forum topic auto moderate my forum If you get this done I will asap switch to a cloud plan.

All what they've said in the video can be read in the announcement section.

On christmas we get a new gallery? Nice. Suggestion for the next chat: Matt can show if he really can play guitar or they are there for decoration purposes only on his office.

Now that I've got used to your excessive cheerfulness, you're leaving already? Too bad, I wish you all the best in your new job @Jordan Miller

If it's for cloud only, it's fine for me.

Fine for me, if you all have fun at work with branded clothes it's benefiting too for us customers I think.

Let me guess, the new features are Zapier connected socks and shirts. That's a revolution in forum software technology. Great job guys.

Yeah, my dreams finally come true I'm waiting so long for Invision SOCKS

What does this mean, members not verified email address? This beta release has new features? If yes how many? Happy birthday @Matt and @Ehren

But not yet compatible with 4.6

The new support option via forum could even be a better system if the support team is picking up urgent issues as quick as known from the ticket support. Especially when my forum has an outage because of upgrade errors or other issues. A knowledge base of known issues is something I miss hardly. So, take this chance and convince us. Thanks for this open discussion Matt. And please consider the benefits for devs in your next meeting.

After a quick and dirty calculation, you even win if you lose 30% of your customers. So, from a financially viewpoint it's a good business decision. And another plus, your support effort will be reduced too Congrats.

Of course it should be a fair system, I agree with you. But that can't be so difficult, I think. Surely we also agree that good add-ons are a powerful draw for your company? At least it was a reason for me to choose you over your competitors. For developers who offer countless add-ons or whose add-ons are very popular, I would personally even pay a little extra to keep them happy. It is already the case that many good add-ons have disappeared because the developers have left. I don't want to have to explain to my customers on a regular basis why one feature or another is no longer there.

@Matt Sad, you don't answered any question about the situation of the marketplace devs your biggest asset for a healthy growing community. Why is it so hard to give them some benefits to keep them here? This would increase your profit in a long term perspective.

Just seen, the "create button" was removed from the top on desktop. On mobile it looks like that:

There are some parts of the site now really slow, is this known too?

There's an styling issue on the notification and message icons (Vivaldi / Firefox on windows) when hovering, the i-header__background overlaps the tooltip message. inv-notifc14-09-_2021_21-21-54.mp4

In 2017 I paid 550$ for this: Now it's increased near 50%, the renewal went from 190$ to 280$ / year. For me, the price increase is still bearable, as long as my income from the forum does not drop significantly. But for hobby communities, such prices are probably harder to bear. By the way, these hobbyists are free advertising media for Invision, as they promote their product. Ultimately, new forum operators orientate themselves on the platforms in which they themselves are active. If they disappear from the market, this advertising also disappears. Another very important aspect is the existing add-ons of a forum platform provider, these are and always have been a driving force for a successful community, see vBulletin. Some developers have already spoken out about the price increases. If this price increase causes them to turn away from Invision, this will also lead to lower licence sales in the long term. So this new development could lead to a downward spiral. I don't understand why developers as important as openfont and Adriano have to pay licence fees at all, because without them Invision would certainly not be where it is now. Without developers, without high quality addons, no customers, to put it bluntly. Just because of a few hundred dollars more revenue you risk losing everything you have built up over the years. This is not a wise decision because the developers are the be-all and end-all of any successful forum platform. (translated by DeepL)

The search function could be improved. Unfortunately, it is currently only possible to search each category of a database individually. It is not possible to search all categories at once. In addition, the visual representation is outdated and takes up too much space. On mobile devices, the search function is only placed below all database entries. It should be at the top.
