Edit the Pages database and select 'inherit' for the new 'comments per page' setting. This will solve the issue.

Thanks, Charles. This is a serious change that should be described on a blog or in a dedicated topic.
For me and for many clients it is breaking news 😬

Hi,
I noticed that CKEditor has fallen a couple of versions behind. It was last updated in v4.7.12 July to v4.21.0.
Please could you update it to the final version?
v4.22.1 was released 30-06-2023. (This is the last open-source release of CKEditor 4. As announced in 2018, CKEditor 4 has reached its End of Life in June 2023.)
Many thanks.

A list of CSS properties in a guide is a great idea!

Ehren will go into more details but things like ipsType_ no longer exists, it's much more structural now.

Maybe for you, and for people who have all the apps. But if customer X has only 'Forums', he will pay an additional $80 more for applications he will not use.

🍂🍁 Welcome to this week's Invision Community Insight! 🍁🍂
Thank you for checking out our weekly, round up post. I hope you have had a wonderful week. 
This week's updates from the Invision Community team are below. 🙂 
 
Current Happenings
Version Five News is Flowing! 🎉
Ehren has more to unpack about this new version. Dark mode, accessibility, performance, oh my! 🤩 
Check it out for yourself 👇

 
Marketplace Closure
Reminder that our Marketplace Closure is set for October 30th. Information can be found in the following two blogs. 
 
Changelog
For those that like to see what we are up to line by line, here is the changelog for the last two weeks for version 4. 
 

We will make announcements on what this will look like as we get closer to version 5 being available to the public. Right now, our new Classic license would be required but the path to upgrade an existing self-hosted license is not something we have released yet. Version 5 is still in development so no need to worry about that just yet. Additionally, version 4, will be supported for some time after version 5 is released. We don't want our customers feeling panicked about this new version.

Welcome to the second video of our sneak peak series! Today we'll be taking a closer look at the new Invision Community interface, including dark mode, accessibility improvements, performance improvements and the mobile layout! Before we begin, I should mention that this is a pre-alpha version of Invision Community 5, so some areas of the design may change before the official release.
 
New traditional header design
In our previous video, we showcased our new, optional side panel which formats your navigation into a vertical list. For those who prefer a traditional, horizontal header, here it is!

A much more compact header compared to version 4, the new design condenses the navigation bar into a single row, moving all sub-navigation items into dropdown menus. A new, optional area below the text logo allows you to add your website slogan or announce events such as anniversaries or holidays, and our new search modal provides convenient access to the advanced search filters from any page on your community.

 
Accessible interface
The main content area has been designed with accessibility as a priority. High contrast text colours and larger font-sizes help to make reading more comfortable and clickable table rows (which can be enabled or disabled via the Theme Editor) allow you to navigate between pages more easily. A visible focus ring significantly improves navigation for visitors who find it more comfortable to browse with their keyboard TAB key, instead of using their mouse (ie. visitors with conditions such as Parkinson's disease, or those who have temporarily lost function due to a broken arm).

Dark mode
Dark mode has become increasingly popular over the past few years - so it's no surprise that Version 5 has been designed from scratch with both light and dark mode in mind. With version 4, it was necessary to manage two themes in order to provide a light and dark colour scheme. In version 5 though, all of that is handled by a single theme.
By default, your members will be able to choose their own color scheme preference: either light, dark, or system. System assigns a color scheme based on your system preferences - so if your device automatically switches to dark mode at night, your community will too! With that said, as an administrator, you also have the option to restrict your site to a single color scheme - so if you ONLY want to offer a dark theme, that's easily achieved.

 
 
Performance
Despite all of these new inclusions, the version 5 UI has been coded with significant reductions in both CSS and Javascript. We'll dive deeper into code reductions in a future blog entry, however two great examples are:
- Grids: which have had a 100% removal of Javascript and are powered by only a few lines of CSS, resulting in a faster rendering time, especially for users on slow connections.
- And carousels: which have had a 95% reduction in Javascript and now rely on native browser scrolling, for a much smoother experience on both desktop and mobile!
Additionally we've removed a number of helper libraries that are no longer needed with modern browsers saving even more.
 
Mobile UI
With an incredible amount of mobile visitors accessing the web, we’ve placed a huge priority on redesigning the interface to ensure it lives up to todays standards.
A new navigation bar at the bottom of the page provides convenient access to your activity feed, notifications, messages, a search panel, and navigation links. A conscious effort was made to ensure that this information was available within a single tap, and we found that a bottom bar like this was easier to interact with compared to icons in the header.

A goal of the mobile UI was to display elements that were previously only available on larger devices, while still maintaining a clean interface. For example, to improve navigation, we've added a scrollable breadcrumb list to the top and bottom of the page. To improve guest participation, we added Sign In and Sign Up links to the bottom navigation bar. These links were previously hidden within the hamburger menu, so we feel like this will really benefit those looking to improve registrations. And as demonstrated in last weeks video, profile information is now available within posts, comments and reviews on small devices.
We’re really excited for you to literally have a hands on experience with the new mobile interface of Invision Community 5, and we're interested to hear your feedback in the comments!

Thank you. I finally figured out an even easier solution: just change the .mov extension to .mp4, and the file plays in Chrome.

Current Happenings
Version Five! 🎉
Our first detailed view of version 5 is out! 
Ehren has shared the first of many blogs unpacking the exciting improvements in this new version. These visuals walk us through the new sidebar layout and new view modes for the forum index and topic pages.  🤩 
Join in the excitement! We would love to hear your thoughts too!
 

Changelog
For those that like to see what we are up to line by line, here is the changelog for the last two weeks for version 4. 
 
 

There's a LOT in v5: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/devblog/

I'll be doing a dev blog on the significant changes in how you create and edit themes in v5.

In addition, I do want to point out that we have removed a significant amount of JS that is no longer needed including some libraries that acted as shims for older browsers. The entire CSS framework has been rewritten and is more compact, so there are significant savings already.

It is indeed an option.

Ehren will be covering the theme editor in more depth very soon. I stole a little of his thunder with that gif but I see a lot of concern about new views and how they fit in with their community, so I wanted to show just how easy it is to toggle between them.
It's also worth mentioning that these layout options are per-theme and not global as they used to be, so you can mix and match across your community as you see fit.

In addition to Matt’s post, each of your members (where a new group permission allows) can also choose their own preference out of the views. So if you’d prefer to use the traditional table view for the forum index and the traditional column view for topics (even if the admin has assigned other layouts), that’s of course possible. We’re absolutely not forcing change, just offering more options than before 🙂 

Agree with the above. The user mini profile while a good idea, hides away who you are on a post. If this is toggled, then great. Or, even if the username can still be coloured to their associated group would be a nice touch. Other than that, I like this!

Looks great, love the compact look of the posts! 👍

This is remarkable. I love the new content scrolling feature on mobile. I'm this

close on dropping XenForo and migrating to Invision Community. 😅
Brilliant work to everyone involved. I love the new sidebar. Very cool to be able to link additional threads, forums or other features that are popular. Also, I didn't know Ehren was part of the IC Team. 😄 Good asset !
