Hey, been a minute since I've been here. I've left my forum largely on auto pilot for the last two years and finally in a place to take the next step in the evolution of our community.
Apologies ahead of time for the noob questions but really not finding the answers by searching around. Reached out to sales and got a one sentence reply that wasn't especially helpful, so here I am. I will state ahead of time that spent a couple hours looking t all the blog / news entires regarding v5 and was blown away. It feels like in my absence, Invision has pulled past trying to compete toe to toe with social media on features and finally found their way towards developing a true alternative that might attract back members that were lost to social media. Anyhow, I'm impressed. Feels like some of the largest changes to forum systems like this one to happen in the last decade took place in this last year or two.
Questions:
1. It appears that v5 will not be made available for set hosted customers, but wanted to confirm that.
2. If so, I also assume that there's like an end of life plan for v4 and self hosted installs of Invision Community?
3. I assume that v5 is already out, but I'm not entirely sure of that since it appears this community isn't running on v5?
--------
Wondering if anyone on here running their own community has moved from self hosted v4 to the cloud based v5 (assuming it's available)? If so, what has the experience been like? How was scheduling and migration? How has the service been for you? How good has customer / technical support been for you?
Anyhow, the hosting packages appear pretty competitive when you factor in everything from license, storage and system resources, but I must admit that it makes me nervous giving up self hosting for SaaS type solutions. Just hoping for a few answers and some feedback before we make a final decision.
Thank you in advance.
I've added this as a member group setting now, so all your member groups can have different icons and icon colors, as opposed to just a different pin color.
You say "many bugs". Was it just those two? With bug 2 I assume you mean it still shows in the popup even when disabled? Saving the form a second time after disabling it would have "fixed" that. Fixed this in the next version.
