Welcome to Invision Community 5!
Over the coming weeks, we'll be exploring a bunch of new features and improvements coming to our user interface including our brand new theme editor, a new mobile UI, dark mode and performance improvements thanks to a reduction in both JavaScript and CSS. To kick off this series, let’s take a closer look at the new sidebar layout and new view modes for the forum index and topic pages.
Sidebar Layout
Traditionally, Invision Community has shipped with a horizontal header and navigation bar at the top of the page, which is still available in version 5. We're introducing a brand new (and optional) sidebar layout, which can be enabled or disabled easily from within your theme settings. The sidebar not only provides convenient access to your applications, activity streams and search bar, but you can now add links to nodes for even easier access to popular or commonly used areas of your community. For example - a category from your forum, an album from the Gallery, or a product group from Commerce.

Forum Index: Feed view
One of our goals for version 5 was to re-imagine new ways for your visitors to consume content, and the sidebar layout is just one of our solutions. Table view has been the typical way of displaying forums, providing visitors with a simple summary of the most recently active topic. Grid mode introduced cover photos to forums and is a great way to make your page more visually engaging, while fluid view allows visitors to filter through a list of topics to easily focus on multiple areas of the community.
Joining these view modes in version 5 is our new Feed view. Optional cover photos and featured forum colours allow you to personalise each forum, and a list of recently active topics with snippets of the most recent reply allow you to easily see what each forum is focusing on at a glance. The topic list drops below the cover photo and converts to a scrollable list on small devices. It's our fresh take on content display, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback!

 
Topic pages: Compact view
In addition, Invision Community 5 also introduces a new, compact layout option for topics. We wanted to create a layout which placed focus on your content while still keeping all of the authors profile information easily accessible within a mini profile. Stats, rank, badges, reputation points and more can be found by tapping the icon at the top of every post. The mini profile strip has also been added to other areas of the software too, such as comments and reviews in applications like Gallery and Blogs, and will appear on the mobile layout when the traditional "table view" is used in topics.
Switching between the new compact view and the author sidebar view takes just seconds giving you complete control over your community.

As part of this view, you also have the choice to feature/pin the original post to the top of every page, making it a breeze for your visitors to easily understand the context of replies without navigating back to page 1. Pinned posts have a slightly larger font-size to distinguish them from replies, and we've thoughtfully truncated them on pages beyond the first to keep scrolling to a minimum.

 
The new sidebar layout and view modes offer a fresh and innovative approach to navigating and interacting with your community. We’re really keen to hear your thoughts on these new views and whether you’ll be unleashing them on your own sites! We appreciate that no two sites are the same, and those who are a fan of the classic header look will benefit from quick styling tools and a visual way to re-arrange the header elements which we’ll cover in a later blog.
We’re looking forward to showcasing a whole bunch of new features over the coming weeks - so stay tuned, and we’ll see you then!

I shall pass this on, thankyou

Indeed we do

No problem 🙂 

I applied the available patch for you. You should start seeing data there soon.

Mobile:

New domain: andsend.com

When we are hit by a network attack (which happens daily), our automation launches new instances to meet demand. On some occasions (a few times this year) there may be some degraded performance for between 1 and 5 minutes while scaling launches.
Earlier in the year we had an outage with our upstream provider which was incredibly frustrating.
No one likes degraded performance or downtime, let alone our team who are woken by automated alarms at 2am to come and deal with it, but it's the nature of the internet. When you compile a list it may look significant, but it's still just tiny blips in an otherwise robust service. We really do our best to minimise disruption and we'll continue to revise our alarms, scaling and database instances.

This issue was resolved in the recently released 4.7.13 release. Please update in order to fix this issue, and if you see any problem after that point, please let us know.

@NightAngel Ah yeah, I understood that. My post was mostly a "the browsers support it now" kind of notice. I know that in the past only Firefox supported it initially (with v93 I believe?). Things have changed since the last time I checked. 😋

Apply the optional patch in your ACP support section and then try again. 

Hello !
In future releases, will it be possible to display .avif images directly in messages ?

At the moment, the .avif file is displayed as an attachment, even though the system saves it perfectly and my browser (obviously) supports this format.
I think that allowing this format in the Gallery application (as well as in the others, I haven't checked) would be a good thing.
That'll be all! 😜

I noticed an error in the Email Error Logs now.

I got the following error (Error Logs) when I clicked on the resend link:
Thank you.

It may be worth taking a look through the providers database and employing services to upgrade such an old site if you are having issues there. We no longer support 3.x, including upgrades from, but there are many who offer these services where people are having problems, so thought I would mention this.

Not sure I'm missing something.  I enable Push:

 
Then some time later, it requests to enable it again:

 
It shows fine on ACP:
 

 

It never really was. Google just follows the user. If a site offers the most relevant content for a search query, then it’s what the user wants to see, whether it takes 500 milliseconds longer to load or not. Only if different sites have exactly the same ranking otherwise, then maybe your ranking position changes a bit. But in general, search results are not ordered by speed. That would be ridiculous. 
Optimizations are still useful of course, but there is no reason to obsess about them. There are much more impactful changes to be made on the site itself, e.g. how to name pages/forums/topics, how to structure a menu and so on.

The whole premise for the changes that have been made so far has been to make sure the self hosted version remained viable.  IPS has committed that v5 will be available for self hosting. 

In addition, regardless if you decide to move to v5 or not… v4 is going to be supported for quite a while.
