We no longer sell Invision Community Classic with individual applications. This is in preparation for v5 where there will no longer be a separation for the "applications" like there is now. It will just be all bundled together and more tightly integrated. Old pricing for full Invision Community Classic was $850 upfront and $300 per year. New pricing is $499 upfront and $199 per year. You can reach out to sales if you have questions about pricing or options.

Low news now is good news for later 🙂

Sure. Basically, when we think Daniel, we think llamas.

Funny you say that. Holidays are always busy in terms of attacks and such. For example, we always make a point to keep a close watch on Christmas Day as there is always something.

I know many of you are very curious how our cloud services work and how we manage things when we service thousands of Invision Community-powered sites on our platform. I am writing this quick post because I just got an alert from our monitoring systems and signed on to see what was happening. We use AWS WAF with both managed rules and our own, custom rule sets. With those both combined, we are able to filter a lot of malicious traffic. Sometimes people do attempt a direct attack on one of the communities we host. That is what is going on today. As I am typing this, our WAF setup is blocking 10 million requests per minute on our network. Yet, even with that huge amount of inbound traffic, our actual operations are not impacted at all. This is one of the advantages of a robust network backing your community. I just thought I would share because 1. our monitoring summoned our team to look at "abnormal traffic" and 2. I thought you might find this interesting.

Yes, that's an option.

We are not adding support for MyISAM when MySQL itself defaults to InnoDB. You should either switch to our cloud services or get a competent host. It is so written.

If your host is defaulting to MyISAM, you need a new host 🙂 InnoDB has been the default since MySQL 5.5 release in July 2010. I would say if your host is 13 years behind the times then you need to move along.

Today would be the last day of access.

In that case you would want to put those services in your third-party list if you are concerned. We are looking into opt-in third party loading in a future improvement to privacy controls though. It's an ongoing project 😀

Yes, you can choose to anonymize content. In fact, that is what I recommend to clients 🙂

Totally feel where you are coming from but it's only a handful of people panicking over nothing. The vast majority of people pay attention to their own communities, not what is going on here 🙂 We expect it will calm down when people see that Classic is not going away. Also, as people understand cloud and Classic are different product lines it will be clearer. The next several months of additions will be available on both cloud and Classic lines too.

Full information:

We have not posted anything formally, but you are free to create your own LMS if you like.

For any issues with your cloud services, it is best to email in 🙂 I will send this issue in for you now.

I truly don’t mean this as a sales pitch 😀 but… have you considered moving to our cloud services where you never have to think about server management again?

There is a full screen button in Live Topics. Try that next time and see what you think.

It's linked at the bottom of every release notes 🙂 You can also follow it if you like but it's not posted to very often.
