I gotta say, this is a pain.  I have to contact each provider, hope they have a site, then register, then keep up with many different sites.
Over time, there will be fewer and fewer providers, eventually most of them will probably give up.  Especially the ones that created one or two fun apps.

Glad to hear things are now working for you 🙂 

Glad to hear this is resolved for you 🙂 

It did for me. Thanks.

Please apply the patch in ACP -> Support. This should hopefully resolve the remaining issue here.

Thanks, we're currently investigating.

I did that. The notification is still there. If I click on “Run now”, I get this error:
And the lock is back where it was.

If it wasn't activated by default (which I don't remember), the trigger for causing this is when you click on "Enable" to only see the settings, when in fact you haven't really activated it.

Same issue here (cloud - standard theme) - Example: https://www.fernstudium-infos.de/topic/20142-fernstudium-rundschau-202309-chat-coaching-resilienz/

 
If someone clicks the button, they get an error message (content not found).
Hive is not activated:

Ok I understand. However in my opinion that's an issue for visitors who are seeing this and wondering where it's coming from and whether or not it's legit. 

Already done. 

A light/dark theme switcher

That's fine, however I was first confused when I saw that and thought I was victim of a hack or a phishing scam (the black line at the bottom looks like a text field). The problem is that the look of that form is completely unfamiliar, and it looks like one of those fake ads that have fake buttons like "Submit" or "Verify" etc to make you click them by mistake. 
I feel like that the look of that form should match the branding of my site: keep the site header, use the same font I'm using on the rest of the site, same button as in the forum etc...  just like the Invision Community Alert pop-ups. 

We do have plans for an opt-in before viewing embeds but it'll likely not be in 5.0. Version 5 is the start of the next chapter and it'll mature quickly over a number of releases.

Self-hosting license prices have already been released for v5. You can even switch to the pricing now (Client Area > Manage Purchases > "Change your license to new Invision Community Classic terms"

I have created a ticket to investigate this further 

Things should be back to normal now

Yes, Im seeing issues here too. We are looking into it at present

The Marketplace is closing on October 30th 2023. If you haven't already read the announcement, please read it first.
As our Marketplace prepares to close its doors, we want to ensure a seamless transition for our customers. To facilitate this process, we're introducing a new 'license key' system to allow you to transfer your purchases to the third-party developer website in a privacy-conscious way.
On the 'My Purchases' page, you'll find an improved layout displaying each resource you've purchased from the Marketplace. This includes the original purchase date, the expiry date (if applicable) and the current renewal term (if applicable).
Additionally, we've added two new enhancements. First, you'll notice the purchase-specific license key (depicted as XXXX in the screenshot). This license key is accessible to the third party author and can be provided to them through their website or other means. It enables them to confirm your payment for the resource and check its activation status. Secondly, we've added a link to their profile in the Providers Directory (if applicable).

You can find contact details and a link to the provider's website on their profile. We hope that these additions will help make the transition as smooth as possible.
 
Third Party Developers
Developers can now access the new 'My Sales' area, where you'll find a searchable list of resources that have had sales on the Marketplace. This list may include resources that were previously hidden.

Clicking on any of these resources will display a list similar to the old 'my paid files.' Here, you'll find detailed information for each purchase, including purchase and expiry dates. Additionally, the list now includes the customer's current renewal term, which may differ from the initial purchase due to pricing changes.
Furthermore, you'll notice the new license key, conveniently searchable in the top right corner. We've also made the list of purchases available in CSV format, allowing for easy integration into your own website or marketplace.

Please let us know if you have any questions and we hope these new tools will ease the transition from the Marketplace.

Is there any way to filter all users who logged in/registered via social networks? Or at least see statistics how many there are? 
If I turn this functionality off, I would like to send them a newsletter before I do this. 

I have a hard timing figuring out the whole implications but it is definitely innovative !
Is there a language specific option/filter for those of us who manage non English communities ?
 

I really like the Idea, but how about the languages? Is it for english communities only, will there be a filter if you only want to see content in your native language?

It only shows if you enable Community Hive on your own community.
