    Invision Community 5 now powers our community

    Now that we’ve upgraded our community to Invision Community 5, we’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback (and any issues you find with our website).
    Please let us know in this topic, thanks!
    Found a bug? Please post it on our tracker.
  2. Thanks
    You will want to restore your backup you took prior to upgrading to version 5. If you're having problems with your hosting configuration on version 4, it is not recommended to do a jump to beta software of a major release.
    CloudFlare is a reverse proxy so you will need to enable "Trust IP addresses provided by proxies?" in ACP -> System -> Advanced Configuration. This will tell the software to use the client IP address supplied by the proxy headers (aka the users actual IP address), rather than the IP address of the client browsing (CloudFlare's IP address).

    I would suggest posting this in our Feedback forum so that it doesn't get lost. I would also suggest providing what exactly you want integrated, how, and a use case.

    Don't need to connect to the license server to login. As this is outdated software, ensuring your server is running PHP 5.6 is required. Please keep in mind that version 3 is not supported so you will need to work with a third-party provider if you are having any issues.

    You would need to upgrade to the latest release and then you can support PHP 8.1 and 8.0. You also will be able to support MySQL 8.

    You would do this in SendGrid. If you need assistance with their platform, please contact SendGrid.

    Likely that is coming from SendGrid. However, if additionally, you have any modified email templates in ACP -> Customization -> Emails. You will want to revert those as well to save yourself any headache.

    Going into the System Log there would give us more info if it's even related.
    Agreed. Very good step.

    Jim M got a reaction from David N. in A user edited their post, can I revert the edit?   
    Hard to say how large that size would be as it would be highly variable to the variations of edits being logged. If you find value in that and people aren't editing the whole entirety of War & Peace into their post replies, I would guess that the average size is negligible.

    I agree with all that.
    I do think that AI has a place to learn and help humans discover good content. Like AI might notice people searching for a specific term and then auto-feature that content or make other assumptions to “magically” get you to great insights by people.
    Another thing I think AI could be great at is curation. I don’t mean summaries. I think we’re all already sick of AI generated summaries. But imagine instead a topic with 100 replied. When the topic was new, those 100 replies were a great conversation discussing a solution. Now you read that topic 6 months later and you just want to get to the point. Sure, AI could generate a vague summary but what I would find more interesting is if it picked out the core most important human posts where I could get the point of the discussion while also reading the nuance of interactions that got people to said point. To me, that is an exciting use of AI.

    I hate that so many search results these days point to AI generated content. The pages on the internet should all be human generated unless the domain uses the .ai TLD. 
    Please don’t be tempted to integrate AI content into Invision Community. 
    As a user, I want to read human generated content on the web. If I want an approximate answer, I will use an AI agent.
    Nothing would be worse than visiting a forum and later finding out that it is simply a bunch of AI agents discussing amongst themselves. What a waste of time reading content like this.

    I cannot disagree more.
    What we are seeing is a renewed interest from search engines and such in human generated content. Some of our largest clients are putting a lot more resources into fostering their communities as they see people tilting toward wanting to trust that they are interacting with other people rather than bots. This is not just my opinion: it’s backed up by metrics and money spent.
    You can get AI generated content literally anywhere which means it adds no value to a community experience. A platform like Invision Community creates a places where humans can share their knowledge, opinion, and experiences.
    There is a place for AI in what we do and you will see us adding more AI features soon. But we will focus on AI helping humans discover the best human content for you to enjoy.
