He had an actual Polaroid camera for reasons I still do not understand. 

HAPPY Hump Day! 
A lot has gone down in the last week or two. In case you need a little refresher, we recently soft-launched Achievements. It'll be available for all in the coming weeks, but for now you can get a taste of it here in our own community. 
The response has been insanely epic 👏 
The feedback even more so 🤯 
I personally took notes of all the feedback provided. We've already started implementing some key changes (shout-out to our super talented development team!! Show them some love in the comments), including:
Explanation for how you earned a badge Current position / max number of ranks shown so you know how far you have to go Added tooltips on rank badges Added lazy loading Optimized rebuild routine Fixed a bunch of bugs I know that only scratches the surface, but keep in mind we'll continue better Achievements over time! 🤠
Lots to absorb here. Now that you've had some time to digest Achievements, how are you feeling about it? Sound off in the replies below! 🥳
PS - here's a short-list of some of the 4.6 fixes we worked on in the last week:
 
- Added a confirmation pop-up when mass approving account withdrawals.
- Added an option to limit Withdrawal requests to one per currency at any time. 
- Fixed an issue where the AdminCP livesearch results link to categories instead of blogs.
- Removed Aggregate rating from JSON-LD structured data
- Worked around a bug in MySQL when viewing statistics in the AdminCP.

So happy there was a reaction for that

Thanks everyone for their responses and thoughts either way. 😊

Sorry, posting videos is forbidden in the no-fun zone.

We can't be for everyone, and we accept that. We try and keep things light and fun because life can be pretty awful, and given there's a raging pandemic out there (points to window) these online spaces are an escape from that.

Appreciate the honest dialog.

I'm very sorry you appear to be having issues with the software. I have taken a look at your ticket, and it appears you actually purchased priority support only last night. The priority support package means you would be assessed earlier in the queuing system, however of course that Would not have happened until it was purchased. Im not sure what is causing you downtime there, as from what I can see you have an issue with editing. Of course we can get that looked at for you

Its likely not related to the issues he is having there, but since you asked 🙂

We've now got that escalated for you, so hopefully we should be able to get you a resolution soon

Sorry you appear to be upset there. At the time of reading this, I hadn't seen your response to the ticket in question. I have just responded to that ticket requesting access, so if you can pick up on that, we can certainly take a look for you. The information I was giving you there was based solely on the images above

We can take a look  at this in your ticket as we go through. Note however this is not related to your issue. Take a look at the list, and you will notice there is actually a 3rd party item which is referenced before each of those. Thats what is causing this particular error.

Just gotta throw it out there for any new potential customers, and to let staff know they're appreciated : 
Support : The few times I have ever needed support from Invision themselves, have always been answered in a timely manner, and "to the point focus", and I love it. Staff has always made a point of answering all my questions in a message, and I find that lacks in alot of other places. A+ support 🥰
Service : Out of 7 months of usage, I think we have experienced 1 "downtime" period, and for only a few hours. I currently use the Cloud package, and I gotta say it works pretty well out of the box, and is surprising what you can do with it 😉 Not to mention not having to worry about running the site it self is a huge relief 😂 
Keep up the great work!

If you're a CIC customer, contact Invision support. If you've got a self-hosted license, you can download 4.5 from the client area.
Since you're adding Commerce, you'll need to redownload the files. More on that here:
Invision doesn't offer a direct download of previous versions and 4.5.1 is the current released version. Support may be able to assist with earlier versions (not sure--I asked the question and never got an answer). If you get an answer on this, please let us know!
Before you upgrade, note that 4.5 is a major shift from 4.4 and customizations will very likely break if they aren't updated for 4.5 (plugins, applications, themes, language packs, etc.)

If its any activity feed you are looking to switch off, you can do this from the module. Take a look at the guide here on module permissions. Its the content discovery module you would remove all the permissions from
