Join us as we discuss the September 2023 release of Invision Community.
If you cannot attend, catch the video and discussion in the converted live topic in our Invision Community Insider forum.
Do you have a question about the release?
Post your question in the comments and we will try to get to them live!

It's a neighborhood HOA site. The only allowed members live in this small community. Are there other downsides to clocking all other countries?
You are trying to use spam prevention for access control which is not what it is design to do. You would be best doing this at a firewall or server level.

I assume we would handle this just like we did for v3, v4.0, v4.1, etc. that have reached end of life. We generally give people a LOT of warning and then finally pick a date way in the future that they have to upgrade. We're talking years though. I am afraid I do not have a clear answer to give you on such specifics that are many years away 🙂
As end of life approaches, you will get a lot more information on how to handle the upgrade. And, of course, by 2025 or 2026, v5 itself will be more mature. We might even be on v6 by then, who knows!

When using an app for fun, this kind of thing got me excited.
I use IPS for my business, so this means nothing but problems and tons of work coming soon. My community likes stability and hates change just for change sake. V5 sounds like a bunch of change, even for everyone who wants to maintain the same experience for their communities.
The best way to kill a community is to refuse to keep up with new ways that people consume content.

Really? I'm no expert but I find the last part of this sentence hard to believe given that there are many gaps in IPB functionality which necessitated the Marketplace community in the first place.
Luckily we are the experts in seeing usage trends 😉

As far as I know IPS never "validated" the "safety" of any third-party app; they only checked to make sure that devs weren't using existing code contra IPS rules. The "safety" of 3rd-party apps has never been Invision's responsibility (and for good reason!).
Trust me. You have no idea how many problematic things we prevented from being published in the Marketplace over the years.
PSA: you might want to use multi-quote when doing many replies 🙂

I respect your unique viewpoint but I am afraid I do not see that in practice 🙂
We have many enterprise clients on our platform and they specifically do not want anything third-party. They see it as a security risk. When I speak to prospective clients they never ask about such things.
In fact, most enterprise clients specifically disallow any outsourcing or external code being added to their community setups in the contracts we have with them.
We get people switching to use from Discourse all the time. Again, I can see how you might see it that way in your specific case but, on a broader scale, it is just not what we experience.

Does this mean that this feature will be completely withdrawn for owners?
If I like the market place on my site, will I still be able to use it?
And will the "Providers Directory" feature be available to us (cloud and not cloud host)?
Thank youYou might want to re-read the post 🙂
Your existing Marketplace items will be transferrable to the authors of those items so you can keep using them. The changes have nothing to do with cloud vs self-hosted.
