Hello,
I just got up, read this email and I am absolutely furious.
I am told that I will get a "small" increase of 90$ every 6 months, that is 180$ per year, which is more than a 30% increase, but it is a small increase! 
Also, no more support by ticket, but by the forum, a good way to tell your customers to take care of themselves, but on the other hand, they can pay to open a ticket.
But frankly, are you kidding us? Is this a joke? And you justify this with "We feel that Invision Community offers exceptional value for money with its rich functionality and power at your fingertips." ? No, we use Ipboard out of habit, nowadays there are other solutions.
Moreover, I'm still waiting for a proper integration of Webp with conversation, an update of elasticsearch, a real mobile application, a real mobile optimization (IPB is completely lacking in this area), an evolution of the api, and that for years! 
Oh and I forgot, the ponpon, features that are not present on our self-hosted versions but on your versions that we don't want!
We are users and contributors of mediawiki and they have a real update tracker, yet it is an open-source solution (like Discourse, Phpbb, SMF, etc...) and we almost get a faster response from them than by opening a "ticket".
Frankly, what advantage do you think you have today? I tell you, none, we pay a licence (and other users too I think) for the convenience, but we will clearly review our strategy, especially as we are informed at the last moment.

Generally speaking, after so many years I feel I can say that invision is a company that thinks well about the choices it makes. But this time, as others have already written, I am very concerned about the collapse of the Marketplace. It is quite clear to me that the new pricing policy and the type of support offered for a fee is aimed exclusively at the business sector. This means that hundreds of hobby forums will be looking for alternative software solutions and this also means less appeal for me and many other developers to develop app and plugins.
Although I don't know the reasons for a series of "blows" thrown at the customer at the same time, I find some of the choices made by Invision risky.
Even if I accept the price increase, which is something I can live with, I think it was a mistake to remove the possibility to pay every 6 months. This has disoriented customers even more, even giving a perception of a heavier increase than it really is.
Furthermore, it must be acknowledged that one of invision's greatest assets has always been its ticket support. 
In short, I'm a bit worried, I'm sure I'll be one of the last to abandon ship... I've been here for 20 years... but I confess that I've been looking for alternatives for the first time in many years.
The problem is not the price, I am more concerned about the choice to let the hobby communities go.
Unfortunately I don't think the the fresh new green buttons can turn this into good news.

Let's see, I understand that even the pandemic period is not the best but let's try to give confidence to Invision as Jordan asks. Instead I would ask invision to review at least the possibility of returning to payment every six months, not for me, but I think it would help many.

I have the same feeling  . Don’t worry, it’s not bad news, but there is a price increase. 😞
It is just like the IPB Android / iPhone application... Do i need to say more? https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/462640-invision-community-mobile-apps-iosandroid-update/
This time i like to choose as a customer. Ill renew if the new features or security patch is needed on my community. Is that a possibility? Can i download my applications and plugins i bought from the marketplace when i stop renewing the IPB licence?
Don't forget, happy hump day....

I've been wondering for a few hours whether to leave an opinion or not ...
I can accept new prices - it is clear that you have an argument for this.
But!?!
Even 4.6.6 does not offer a performance boost, especially for mobile.
Too many sites that allow Google ads - Web Vitals have desperately bad results - I don't see anything in this direction in your work, developers.
And what should owners of these sites do? Google lowers their revenue, you increase their license!
Apart from your own budget, don't you have an interest in performance improvements for your clients?
You have good enough developers and you can easily solve all the requirements for Web Vitals. Why don't you do it?
I wonder if I'm wondering, but your new site is also performing poorly

 
Your FCP and LCP results for the last few hours are deteriorating.
You have also allowed duplication ID of "elSigninButton_mobile".

In short - nothing new, but more expensive.

Has the question been asked? 
If we have a subscription, it is to benefit from updates, especially those that help SEO, I do not know anyone who would say no to a gain in search engines and a decrease in bandwidth consumed.
Whether WEPB, PWA, etc. ... It is a regular request from the community, especially for the improvement of referencing and pagespeed scores.

It is safe to say that this is indeed a "general consensus".
The wepb is hardly used as such when sending images, users always send in pnj or jpg.
We were also expecting an automatic conversion of existing images in order to reduce bandwidth consumption and loading time.
At least, this is what we have been asking for for several months now.

Thank you for your work 🙂
 

Do you plan to make it a plugin or an application? Saving time could be interesting!

Hello !
Today we have an endpoint to get all records from a database with the Rest API : 
/cms/records/{database_id} Some usefull parameters are available, to get records from a catagory, or to sort by a default field.
But there is some lack. It could be very nice to allow the Rest API users to do more things : 
To filter the records according to a default field (even if we can use the core search endpoint, but which is limited to title/content) and for custom/complex fields . To sort by a custom field This kind of filtering probably already exists in IPB, because we can add filters in IP Boards databases, with requests like : 
ipboard.com/games/?advanced_search_submitted=1&&csrfKey=XXX&content_field_54[1]=RPG&&sortby=record_publish_date&sortdirection=desc&record_type=all&time_frame=show_all  
What do you thinkg about it ?
 
Thank you !

Nope, no one was interested in that. I have no idea how IPS will solve issues with speed improvements.

Good news !
Can you share your fixes while the author reappears?
It would be great 🙂

They are having issues with their license server at the moment.

Is there really so much to fix? there are a couple of minor bugs that interfere with the work.
In the meantime, I can't use the purchase for 2 months, it's sad.
  
cool, only no one answers in PM 😄

As soon as I finish work, I will release the beta version immediately.
