This new feature is now complete and will be in our May release. It will also be available on all Cloud plans. The previous post excluded the Beginner plan.
Expect a blog entry soon with details. In the meantime, if you have questions @Matt Finger can answer.

If you choose our EU option, all of your data is in the AWS Paris region.
It is possible one of our employees outside the EU can access the data if you submit a support ticket or something like that. But then that is no different than if you were traveling outside the EU and logged into your own AdminCP.
Even in that scenario, the data is still housed in the EU. Someone viewing your site from anywhere in the world (that's literally what the Internet is for 😀) has nothing to do with GDPR.

I never thought I would see the day that Apple actually did this.

We deployed WebP support today for both US and EU regions.
This was honestly an oversight on our part and I want to thank @Dll for pointing out that WebP was not properly enabled.

Beautiful!
I will explain to you why. I have a Facebook group of almost 7k members. They make it very difficult for me / almost impossible for me to mass message all of my members. I make an organic post and still the reach is barely 10%. Facebook a few months ago introduced the @ everyone tag. At first the reach was about 60-80%, but they have throttled it back down again and I am only get about a 30% reach. Tagging everyone just creates a notification in the Facebook app along with 50 other distracting notifications.
A big reason why I am trying to funnel my members into my Invision Community is that I can get a better engagement rate with them. Having native iOS notifications outside of the noise is huge.
Facebook group members need to realize they don't own any of the data in their group, you're just an admin in Facebook's toy box. Invision actually lets you own the data which is important to me.

Huge thanks to @Daniel F for risking his iPhone by installing the latest iOS beta to get this feature working for us!

The longest awaited iPhone feature is almost here, native iOS notifications, and we couldn't wait to ensure it is enabled for your Invision Community.
Invision Community 4.7.9 is iPhone push notification ready for when Apple release their latest iOS update later this month. This means you'll finally get notifications on your phone, even when you do not have your browser open, to alert you of new content on followed items and more. A feature Android owners have enjoyed for a while.

With notifications, you can have an authentic native app experience with built-in Invision Community features such as the manifest editor.
The manifest editor allows you to edit your theme icons, colours and URL for when your members add your community to their phone's homepage. This manifest file helps mobile devices understand how to display your community site when launched from the home screen.

Your members can add your community to their home screen with the share button. Once it has been added, it looks and feels like a native app downloaded from the App Store.
With Apple finally allowing native notifications and Invision Community's mobile-ready UI coupled with the manifest editor, you can have a real app experience without needing a mobile app.

We intend to bring more functionality and ease of use to mobile devices over the coming releases.
We hope you're looking forward to iOS native push notifications as much as we are!
The features discussed in this announcement are available in both Invision Community and Invision Community Classic.

It will not for the first version but we do plan on Clubs integration.

We are deploying updates to our backend cache layer today. This change should see decreased latency for logged in members. While a small change, multiplied over every click for every member it will make a noticeable difference.
This change does not impact guests/bots (those not logged in) as those views are handled by the CDN.
You may see up to 10 minutes of slowness at some point today while the change deploys.

Wow, shout out to Randy for being such an expert enthusiast before we even release! I've said this before but this was lots of work over the past months and I am so excited for everyone to use it and provide valuable feedback to prioritize next features.

The topic that is generated happens once the Live Topic event is over. Once you end the Live Topic, the generated topic is posted within a few seconds.

Yes, a video is not required. You can also just do text based Q&A.

Great! Thank you for the clarification. Looking forward to trying it out.

You posted in the “my site is broken and it’s my server’s fault” section 😀
I moved it to general help area.

Our license system was down for a few hours this morning causing some oddities with license permissions. It is back up now. I am sorry for those issues.
If you are still seeing problems, login to your AdminCP, go to License, and click refresh license.

I am not sure I agree there. Even hobby communities can take advantage of new features. You have to move forward if you don't want to get left behind 🙂
