Stuart Silvester reacted to Dll in Live Topics: A first look
Well that explains why you became a coder I guess.

Stuart Silvester got a reaction from Maxxius in Introducing GraphQL for Invision Community
The big advantage with GraphQL over REST is that you can tell it what data you want to return, instead of getting loads of data that you probably don't need. You can also fine tune your queries better to search the graph data. As a non-programmer, I can't think of a scenario where you would directly benefit. Maybe if you were integrating an external service that used GraphQL

Stuart Silvester got a reaction from media in New feature! A friendly reminder before posting
Currently, yes. But as @Matt mentioned above, he's made a change so it'll also work with phrases in an upcoming release.

I got it, I just assumed you hadn't cast to a string before doing your addition.

What a fantastic coincidence....it just so happens to be our twentieth birthday a little later this year as an Invision client! Although I'm not sure how early we were as adopters, we were certainly one of the small numbers. What's most amazing to me is that compared to other forums I have administrated, the IPB suite has always been the most robust and supported. Others, yep, data got lost...."tough". Not IPB. External image links might have rotted, but those first posts feel eternal now. Crazy.
Congratulations guys, and what a twenty years its been.

It has been a long time... Have I really gotten that old?
It was just last year in summer of 2003 I was on a poetry board when the owner asked to create a skin for it and gave me the first look at a real Admin Control Center.
I found my first IPB free version about the same time in my cPanel a couple of years before it became purchase only. A few days after my Birthday in 2005 I purchased my board. A few months after that I purchased the Blog and before I knew it the IDM and Gallery were in my possession.
As I recall in late 2006 there (back then IPB had phone support). Well, I acquired a serious issue and for whatever reason I could get through. A few hours later I received a phone call from (98% sure) a lady by the name of Debbie who worked with me and found the issue my license key was compromised, and she had to send me a new one.
The only reason I brought this up is because back then the techs could take the time. Like Mat said How were they to know what 20 years would bring. Well, here is to another 20 my friends. I may not be here then to celebrate in the physical form, but may be in the Spiritual form.

Interesting. My Board is celebrating its 20th Anniversary next month as well. I launched Ikonboard software in 2002 almost as a whim, and as a section to website I had created. I stuck with Ikonboard way too long, and past when it was no longer supported. When server costs soared due the strain Perl demanded I was thinking of throwing in the towel. But Member input and that I found that IPB could do a Conversion of my Board saved it, and in 2016 the IPB Support staff successfully (or as close as possible) Converted my Board to IPB. I wish I hadn’t waited so long. Congratulations to the owners and staff of IPB.

Happy to have been running a forum with IPB since February 2003 (and we're still going). Version 1.1.1 was our first (live) iteration - never regretted the decision to go with Matt and the Invision folk - noble creatures all!
Our first skin (apologies):
And our version number - the newest member name doesn't reflect the content of the site...

Always here one way or another and will never be forgotten.
BTW Mark, Who is that Matt feller I keep seein' around.

Stuart Silvester reacted to Rolf Jouaux in Twenty years of Invision Community
As one of your oldest customers (even since Ikonboard Times before 2000) i thank Charles, Matt and all your Co-Workers for the Continuity of the Code and the Support in tough Upgrade-Times. To the next 20 years.

I think I bought Invision Board (Wasn't it called Invision Power Board)? in that first year.
I intended to create the number one websites and communities about the Republic of Turkey. And I didn't want to go with one of the free boards. I wanted The Cadillac of forums. Even in that first year I could see that Invision Power Board was the best. So I bought it and installed it and have been using it ever since.
It didn't have the capacity for articles. Or for a directory like Yahoo. So I created them myself. They didn't talk to Invision Board. My site was kind of a mess. Then Invision added Content. Which solved my problem. I bought that and transferred all of my articles into Invision Content.
Then Facebook came along. It was killing me.
But Facebook has a profound weakness. It doesn't handle complex content. Invision Community does. So instead of Facebook ruining my life, I now exploit it. Often there are questions on Facebook requiring a complex answer. I reply, but then link to my Invision Community article which explains everything.
I now have a separate site about Turkish residence permits. Lots of articles and a forum, among other things.
Looking back I think buying and installing Invision Board was one of the best decisions I've made.
Your support is fantastic. Very polite and professional. Even if I have what I later find was a dumb question, your support staff helps me, even walks me through things.
I was with you from the beginning and I will be with you to the end.
Thanks to all of you at Invision Community. You are still the "Cadillac" of communities.

I don't recall you ever having hair 🤔
(I'm also very disappointed nobody picked up on my joke. I was with Invision for 12 years 😂)

The current values are the recommendations we have in place right now. We typically update them with each main release, this time we increased the minimum PHP version and three recommended version

Yes, MySQL 8 was supported in 4.5 (it may have been 4.4 actually, I don't recall). PHP 8 support was added in 4.6.0.
