Introducing a fresh new vision for Invision Community 5
Is there anything specific about SEO requirements you are looking for, as that's quite a broad question? 🙂 Of course, SEO is always something in which we aim to improve on over time, and have continued to do so well into version 4 too.

Invision Community Insight: Version 5 teaser II is here!
I'm sure Matt will respond to you also there, but if you take a look at the main page, you will see there have been quite a few blogs already on the dev side of version 5 🙂

Invision Community Insight: Version 5 teaser II is here!
This is not something we are able to announce at present. We will of course have information soon ™ I have taken a look at what you linked there, but its not clear what framework changes you are referring to. There is however a large amount of framework change generally, if thats the question you are asking?

Unfortunately IP blocking quite simply doesnt have that level of accuracy.

A (very) brief look at Invision Community 5
Its worth pointing out here, v5 is both hosted and classic. That is not the only pricing there https://invisioncommunity.com/buy As a cloud customer, you pay your monthly or yearly subscription. There is nothing that changes there when a new major release comes out

As mentioned a few times around the site, this is more to bring viability to a declining self-hosted market for the long term. This gives a more sustainable model into the future

Ive created you a ticket so we can look closer at this for you

Please can you let me know the member ID of that member? I can then take a look on your site

Sorry its not actually clear what you are showing me there. You appear to have added Afghanistan then saved.

Do you have some IPs you can share that I can check this with?

The only way in which to do that at present would be to block every other country

Changes to traffic control
The alternative unfortunately would be not protecting the network in the case of attacks. Its somewhat of a balancing act these days. It should be rare that you see these
-
Changes to traffic control
That is correct, yes. If you answer that, you should be back in right away. This is one of those situations where a real user (yourself) has been caught up in the prevention. This was added to ensure you can get back as soon as possible

A (very) brief look at Invision Community 5
I think you may be misunderstanding there. You have no price increase at all, unless you choose to change terms (in the same manner as if you had chosen to add more applications before). If you havent changed terms, your price is as it was previously. What we have done is stopped selling items individually. This isnt an increase in price, it's a removal of sale options

Marketplace Closure
That is correct, yes Kind of a double-edged sword with this one. No matter when and how we do it, someone wont be happy with it, and at some point we have to stop taking them. The reality is, if we did them both at the same time, your previous point would be even more an issue (the 2 month you mentioned there). Imagine you have a security issue. You would have nowhere to release it. Major bug? Nope. No way to release it. I understand the thought seems to be the opposite for some, but we really do think about these things. 🙂

Marketplace Closure
I understand your disappointment there, however, I just wanted to clarify a few points there.. In terms of 'unprofessionally'. We have evaluated this internally for quite a while now. Once it was decided, we release our intentions to a focus group of people to discuss. Our intentions were released over a month ago to providers, then 3 weeks ago to let members know. We have done this, and people know it will be being removed in another months time. So there has indeed been plenty of time given on the removal. With renewals, at some point, we have to stop accepting them. After all, they will not be able to download on our site. With setting up your own marketplace, and working out how users can download the new file, I'm not sure what you mean here. If you are unsure on how to set up the Invision platform for you to sell files, I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction. However, as a developer on the platform, I would question whether or not you are unsure how to do this. I completely understand your opinion there. But while I understand the opinion, it doesn't necessarily mean I agree with them. We have worked to try and provide a way for providers to know who has purchased a file on here by way of keys. Outside of this, the intention is we are removing the marketplace and the intention is that we are no longer involved in that process. We have run the marketplace at a considerable cost to the company for quite a while. And while I understand your disappointment, this was a free service, provided at a cost to us as a company, for what is now very much the minority of customers.

Has the new developer its under said they are having an issue seeing your purchase?

Its not clear what you mean here. Are you referring to the email validation or something else? If it's the email validation, type contact into the search bar at the top of your admin CP, then click on contact us first in the list 🙂

We have spent many working on the application development tools for v5, wrote blogs about them, and answered peoples questions on them. I assure you they will exist in v5.

IC5: UI Extensions, Part I
Actually, it would be less controlled and not as easily broken

The marketplace part itself will be removed. The updating via the backend upload is what will remain. Same as they do at the moment for items that are added manually outside of the marketplace

You can always use search in the top right also 🙂

I feel you may want to re-read the above. There are no claims anyone has done such as thing that I have read in this topic. Someone has asked about what security precautions they can use on their site when using items that are developed by someone other than Invision. I'm sure as a developer yourself, you appreciate the importance of someone thinking about the security of their site?

IPS reviewed code to ensure it adheres to our marketplace guidelines. What we do not do is check every line of code for security issues and serious issues that may arise from installing them. This very much a misconception of what we do. There are no guarentees that a code review will prevent any malicious, bad, exploit code etc. Adding 3rd party code to your website is at your own risk. This has always been the case.
