All I'd ask for is a simple email of "we are experiencing an issue, it may affect your site's performance, we will update once it is resolved or further info is discovered." Then I don't need to spend hours trying to troubleshoot a cloud backend issue. No one is upset that there were issues (well, I'm sure some customers expect 100% uptime), but most just don't want cloud problems to be a complete guessing game every time. Especially when the cloud status page is all green lights and the sites are throwing config errors and poor loading.

Invision Cloud has been having problems for the past day or two. It mostly seems to be corrected, so I'd open a ticket if your site is still down. Sadly, customers are still waiting for a notice that there even was a problem. So idk if we will get anything saying it is over either.

Sadly the communication with the current situation has been horrendous, not even a status email that something is wrong. So we all are blind in this. However, my sites never went fully offline and are now performing better. So, while I'm not sure if it is helpful, but it seems your situation might not be fully related to the recent problems. Although, I can't help but feel like your problem might be related to a corrupted upgrade due to running an upgrade while the cloud was having all sorts of problems. Odds are they need to fix it for you. But I would try going to yoursite.com/admin/install/ to see if it is simply stuck in an upgrade install and maybe your can finish it.

Same on my sites, there doesn't appear to be any indication of an attack directly on my sites, so this appears to be a backend Invision issue or an issue with the Cloud as a whole. It also is affecting this site. It has been a couple of hours, but there has been no update or news.

I know this isn't really a suggestions topic, but since it is mobile-based... It would be a nice UI improvement if the small little red clock that appears next to the title on future-dated items would display the publish time/date pop-up on click. As is, this icon is unusable on mobile, and trying to plan a schedule is a bit rough, as the time is hidden unless you edit the item again. Or if the icon had the time displayed as part of it, as the date is listed on the item in other places, but this may cause UI oddities.

This feels like a well‑timed topic to highlight just how far the mobile experience has come. It’s definitely a niche use case, but I’ve been using Samsung DeX as my travel “laptop,” and IC5 has honestly been one of the best platforms for that hybrid “kind‑of‑mobile / kind‑of‑desktop” environment. Plenty of sites work on DeX, but IC5 sites actually stand out; they feel smoother, more consistent, and far more predictable than most of what I use. I know this isn’t something anyone specifically designs for, but it really shows how strong the underlying mobile‑first approach is. And while I get that mobile‑first has its kickbacks and isn’t always loved by long‑time desktop users (I’m one of them), the reality is that more people are on phones, tablets, touchscreens, and hybrid devices that don’t behave well with classic desktop‑first UI patterns. IC5 seems to be striking that balance better than almost any other platform I’ve used. I give the devs plenty of complaints, but this is one area where I can genuinely give support and a big thanks for how well it works.

This looks really good! Any idea what plans it will be available on?

I love this!! Although I really hope it comes with better date and time management. I can sell tickets, but not list a single event that runs 9 am to 5 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday. And adding a recurring event feature that allows something like 1st Sunday, 3rd Monday, etc. would be a blessing to help automate some of this.

I would love to see Invision Pages receive expanded Zapier support, especially for workflows involving automated article, database, and content publishing. Right now, Zapier already works well for creating Pages records, but there are a few missing pieces that make automation feel incomplete. Add Support for Meta Keywords and Meta DescriptionThe biggest missing fields are Meta Keywords and Meta Description. These are ideal candidates for automation because they are structured, predictable, and often generated alongside article titles, excerpts, tags, and body content. It feels like an odd omission since Zapier can already populate many other record fields, but not these SEO fields. Being able to fill these directly through Zapier would make automated Pages publishing much more complete and reduce the need to manually revisit each record after creation. Add a “Find Record” Action for Pages DatabasesAnother major improvement would be a Find Record action for Invision Pages. Zapier currently supports finding things like topics, blogs, clubs, and members, but there does not appear to be an equivalent way to find a Pages database record. This would be extremely useful for workflows where a record needs to be referenced, updated, checked, or used as supporting data without that record itself being the original trigger. For example, a Zap could find an existing Pages record, pull its title, URL, image, custom fields, or other details, and then use that information in a newsletter, social media post, internal workflow, or another automated action. This allows users to use triggers like scheduled runs, RSS feeds, etc., and gain the full record details. Support Upload Fields Through ZapierI know this may be more technical, but it would also be great if upload fields could eventually be supported through Zapier. The most obvious use case would be featured images or other image/file upload fields attached to Pages records. Even if this started with basic support, such as accepting a file URL from a previous Zapier step, it would make Pages automation significantly more powerful. Why This MattersInvision Pages is one of the most flexible parts of the platform, and Zapier support makes it possible to build strong publishing and community workflows without custom development. Adding support for Meta Keywords, Meta Description, Find Record, and eventually upload fields would make Pages much more practical for automated content pipelines while keeping everything inside the Invision ecosystem. These additions would be especially valuable for communities using Pages as a news system, article hub, database, resource directory, or structured publishing platform.

I love this feature, and I’m really excited to start putting it into motion. The whole workflow system feels like it’s going to make Pages databases so much smoother to manage as a team. That said, the permissions side of it is a bit confusing. I still can’t figure out how to get a team to actually show up as an assignment option, even though assigning to a member or team is listed as one of the available workflow actions, but some admins are not shown either. I’ve gone through the usual permission areas, but something still isn’t clicking. I’m sure it’s just one setting I’m overlooking, but if anyone has already sorted this part out, I’d definitely appreciate a pointer.

When adding events in IC5, if you add them via the "Add Similar Event" feature, it removes the cover image upload field when adding the new event, and also if you try to edit the event after posting it. You can still add and adjust a cover image via the Cover Image drop-down on the display page after it is posted. This affects both my cloud communities and self-hosted communities running the latest IC5. Adding an event normally appears to be working as intended, and has the cover image upload field when first posting and also when editing.

This one is actually on YouTube, not Invision. The playlist embed itself is working correctly in IC5; the problem is that YouTube has been stripping features out of their embedded player over time. The old corner menu that lets you open the full playlist is gone. YouTube removed that from their embed UI, so Invision can’t bring it back. At this point, the only playlist controls YouTube still exposes in embeds are the next/previous arrows, and those only appear once the video is paused or finished. So the behavior you’re seeing isn’t a bug in Invision or something missing in IC5; it’s just YouTube continuing to limit what their embeds can do. When you embed a playlist, it is now supposed to look like a single video.

You can also make Blocks for ads now, and this is how I handle most of my ads. The Block positions are more than enough to meet my needs. I also use the block visibility features to handle things like mobile vs desktop ads and their permissions to handle who sees what ads.

I wish the “Free Trial” button would switch to “Client Area” once you’re logged in or once you own a product. It’s a small detail, but it feels unintuitive that the only real confirmation you’re logged in is inside the community itself. Having that top‑level indicator would make the whole experience feel more cohesive. I’m also hoping some of the new homepage blocks and layout elements eventually make their way into Pages. One of the biggest strengths of Invision is that it’s an all‑in‑one platform capable of powering the entire website, but right now, a lot of what’s shown on the main site can’t be recreated without heavy customization. This is a minor thing and more of just constructive criticism. Plus, more Pages features are always a perk. Overall, the redesign looks great. I’d just love to see the client area get a visual refresh to match the new style, and I agree that the forum could be a bit more prominent. The community side of Invision Community is a huge part of what sets it apart from other platforms; it wouldn’t hurt to showcase that strength a little more.

This is the wet dream of my use for the Pages app! Looking forward to it!
