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

This the closest so far, I believe https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/475077-marketplace-closure/?do=findComment&comment=2950901

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.

There are scanners out there for that purpose. Anything we posted which was literally "Check for this as we have seen x" would also be an advertisement to those writing malicious code "Avoid x as we are seeing it". This is, for example, the reason we don't disclose rules relating to our spam system. Any disclosure would result in telling spammers how to avoid it. This said, however. It's simply not our responsibility to check the code of 3rd party developers. As with any developer you purchase any written code on the internet, you are purchasing on some level of trust and reputation. This actually used to be the case. What's known as a loss leader. However, there comes a point where the benefits are not outweighing the costs. This is the case here. In the case of Apple and google, you are looking at marketplaces/stores of several million items, all of which make money for those companies. They also have very very very very large budgets for these things. In our case, as already explained, the market for this has been in decline for quite a few years now. This is not to say there isn't a place for 3rd party items. However, it is to say that its not cost-effective, or an effective use of time, to host these items ourselves. Whether it be the files themselves or directories of files, these involve time from the staff here that are better put toward the main product for the benefit of all. We will decide more on this nearer the time.

Not at present, but thank you for the feedback of course. We anticipate there will be things people bring up once this has been released that can be improved on, as with most new features.

It's worth noting here, that the decision is quite simply market driven. It's not that enterprise customers only install a few add-ons. It's actually that the majority of customers of any type don't install any at all. Enterprise will actually tend to go for custom solutions from developers for their own needs.

We would need to look further into this for you, however the access details on file appear to be incorrect or missing. Could you please update these details by visiting your client area, selecting the relevant purchase, then clicking "Review/Update Access Information" under the "Stored Access Information" section. We look forward to further assisting you.

In the past we sold Invision Community with the option to choose which of the various apps you wanted. This was great for purchasing flexibility but limited our ability to provide a cohesive experience. We have streamlined our offerings by combining the entire suite into a single package. Now you can really have it all at a more affordable price. We have also increased our payment flexibility and are now offering monthly payments of rather than the 6-month renewal term. For full information on terms and changes, visit your license page in the client area and click the upgrade button. If you are on a version 4 license (Invision Community Suite), you can choose to switch to the new terms or you can just do nothing and nothing will change for you. If your license reads "Invision Community Classic" then you are already on the new terms. Upgrading your License To upgrade your license, log into your client area, and select the option to change to the new terms. This will be found at the bottom of your main client area page Changing Your Terms Clicking to change will show you the new terms for you to read through. Note, you have not accepted them at this point, so you can read through first. It will show you your own current license terms, and what your new terms would be, including the prices and dates of renewals. New Terms page Adding any applications gained Many customers will gain applications through the switch to the new community classic terms, so you then need to add this to your community suite. In order to do this, you would do the following. Download a fresh set of files from your client area. If you are unsure on how to do this, please see the following guide which will show you how to get this. https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/welcome/install-and-upgrade-r259/ Unpack, and uploads the files. Do not delete any existing files, however please do overwrite where there are files that already exist on the server. You may find this guide helpful if you are unsure on this https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/welcome/install-and-upgrade-r259/ Log into your admin CP, and visit "System>Site Features>Applications". From here you will see that you can install your new application, using the install button provided. For example here, we will install the gallery application, using the + icon shown.

Our infrastructure is indeed built on AWS, yes

Ive split this off into a new topic for you. The first thing I would ask there, is if you have tested without cloudflare being switched on?

Please re-read my message above. This was one person assuming 80% of 'their' plugins 'may' be 😄 With regards the other questions, its much better to wait until there is more released and the authors themselves state what can and cannot be achieved before going down that route.
-
It does need to be noted, this is very much a case where someone says "someone may have" and by the time it hits the end the believe is the person did, and admitted it. The 80% there was not from invision, and also not referring to all marketplace plugins. It was from a plugin author relating to their own plugins. It was also an assumption without yet having all the information to make the statement those 80% are not possible. (As we havent shown everything yet, and also gathering feedback on some items).
-
I'm sure there are others who have found in nice to get a glimpse 🙂 No matter which way we do this, releasing everything in a single blog would just be too much. And actually, we announced one yesterday, then release another today. These things are always a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of thing. If we say nothing, some dont like it, if we say something, some wont like it. There's more to come, as mentioned.

Please feel free to post this within our feedback area for consideration in the future 🙂

This is not something that is possible at present, but we are looking into

Logged in as that member, I am actually seeing the secuirty and privacy section. Have you since resolved this? If you are still having the same issue, please provide an example user Im not sure why you would have the impression that this is the primary audience, as that isnt the case. Areas of the community are intentionally locked out in every way from a banned user. They would have to use the contact form to contact if they are banned

Usually via the contact form

You can indeed. When you are in a module, click on "Moderator actions" and "Edit Module" Once in there, you will see a "Lesson Order" tab, where you can reorder with the handles shown here
-
Which items are available on which platforms is at the bottom of the original post there. For clarification, these are what is available to each client. Note, these are content item level, not page level.
-
We hope 😉 This is not a bug, no. As mentioned in the original message, this is currently available to moderation. Thank you for the feedback though. Always appreciated and I will pass that on for you.

No need It is

I believe this may well be a bug
