We tried that like 20 years ago and people could not comprehend ioncube. People have enough trouble keeping MySQL running 😄

Literally.

Allows the admin to pre-define various sections and setup for a Club. This means you can have some uniformity when your members create a Club.

Quests is available on the Team package and up.

Actually for all packages except Classic, just email [email protected] being sure you send it from the email address associated with your account.

You actually like autoplay? I always disable that in my browser settings first thing.

But you said you PAID someone $10 on Fiverr for help. And then you did not know your own password? Well, if you change your mind and want us to help you just post in support. We're happy to help... for free.

Why didn't you just ask us to help you for free? 😀

We’ve got some exciting news! All communities hosted on the Invision Community platform will be switching to Cloudflare Enterprise edition for CDN and Firewall services. This transition starts now and will be complete by the end of January 2025. Don’t worry, you won’t experience any downtime during this transition. If you do see any issues, like a secure certificate warning, just clear your cache and try again. If your community keeps getting connection errors for more than 5 minutes, please reach out to our support team. We’re thrilled to offer you these improvements, including enhanced security, faster speeds, and more redundancy. We’ll also be able to better control bots and filter bad-bots while still allowing Google, Bing, and other safe search engines to crawl your community. AI content scrapers have become a real pain for communities, constantly searching for great human-generated content. This change will help us control those AI bots. We’re confident that this transition will be smooth and hassle-free. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team. We’re excited to see these improvements and many more in the coming months!

Our entire cloud network is on B2. Hundreds of terabytes.

Backblaze is S3-compatible. It, and every other S3-compatible service, can be used right now. However, we are adding a direct Backblaze integration for those who don't know that but it's really just a copy/paste of the S3 integration with wording changed to say Backblaze instead of AWS S3.

You should use a service like S3, B2, or countless others designed for mass-media storage.

We handle hundreds of terabytes of attachments without issue.

I might suggest you stop using the betas of version 5 if you do not understand what a beta means 🙂

It's possible it is related. Email support an example page. I looked at your site now and did not see any issues.

Over the next few days you will see some improvements for static resources served on our network. Static resources are items like images, videos, JavaScript, CSS, and any other file attachments. These changes do not yet apply to your actual dynamic community pages. We will follow up with more updates on improvements we are making there. Brotli Compression When your browser supports it, all static files will use Brotli compression. Brotli offers a higher compression which often results in faster page load times. WebP Images WebP is an image compression format that offers higher compression for images which also results in faster load times. Most images will automatically be served as WebP with no input from you. We will be also adding an option to opt-out of WebP compression for your community if your focus is on high-quality images. High Cache Hits We can now server a greater percentage of request as a cache hit which means responses will be more geographically centered where you are. More speed improvements. EU Restrictions For clients choosing to host in our EU region, your static media is already stored in the EU. Our new changes will also mean that the network layer will also be restricted to EU locations. If you are interested in moving your Invision Community to our EU region, please contact us. There is no charge to move to EU on the Creator Pro package and above. Better Analytics In a future release, you will be able to see static media storage, bandwidth, and traffic statistics in your AdminCP. Video Speed Viewing videos will be greatly enhanced with chunked buffering allowing for more responsive skipping to different parts of videos and faster encoding of newly uploaded videos. Enhanced Security Files that require a signed URL for download will be more secure and allow for more reliable signing. We will also be enforcing the latest version of TLS for connections and implementing connection rate limiting to disallow scraping. Finally, we will be implementing bot control to block unfriendly bots or things like AI bots that do not provide direct SEO benefit. We hope you enjoy these improvements. Look for more updates as we announce other back end improvements to speed, security, and stability.

Please post about the alpha preview on the alpha preview site. Thanks!

We will soon let those on the alpha testing group share their test sites for more feedback. Not much longer now - it's all coming together - which (hopefully) those in the alpha group can confirm 😄

We will be inviting another batch of testers in next week. Keep an eye on your notifications for the invite!

Right now we are asking the testers not to share links to their test sites until we get another alpha build or two out.

We do not plan to change the package requirements.

We made a change a few hours ago to reduce the challenges. Are you still seeing people being prompted?

Live Topics is available for all customers on the following packages: Creator Creator Pro Team Business Enterprise Live Topics is not available on: Beginner Classic Feel free to reach out if you have questions on upgrading.

Invision Community 5 is still several months away from a release. We will keep posting blog entries about its development over the coming weeks. Those entries will keep you informed.

Actually it's not a pity seeing as we have that already and are making it better.
