    ahc got a reaction from H5K in Display ALL Payment Methods - Change Currency as Needed   
    I requested a change similar to this nearly 3 years ago, but nothing has happened.  A lot of the currency functions in Commerce make no sense. 
    On other websites, if someone sets a USD price, but the member has EUR selected, it will still show the USD price and automatically convert to their preferred when they go through checkout.  For some reason Invision can't seem to handle this or even want to, so when my site had multiple currency options, it was a hodge podge of listings with no price and people assuming they couldn't buy it.  The same issue carries over into Downloads.
    We had to resort to only allowing one currency which forces members to pay conversion fees through PayPal or their credit/bank company, but we had no other choice.

    Any way for us to change the icons?  We use FA5 which has updated icons for some of the social sites, so I know you can't make the changes globally as it's not supported by Invision.

    Don't know if this has been suggested before, but a way for members to be able to send funds to other members via their account credit balance would be appreciated.  I am assuming this is possible since there are third party apps that allow virtual points and the like to be sent between members.
    We have given up on gift cards.  It was already a pain trying to get our members used to buying gift cards as a way of sending money to each other, but now that they've been removed from the store and made into a link, we've decided it's not worth the hassle of explaining anymore.

    The timing of this is just so uncanny to me. I was already doing the last app/plugin updates for what we have on our community with our current renewal, but we(staff) already silently decided to leave Invision behind going forward and I'd say we made this decision at the perfect time. 
    When I joined back in 2017 this community was thriving. Now I come to check and it's quite dead when you take into consideration how many users it has and how many used to be active. I believe the final nail in the coffin for this was when the forum was reorganized and all community content was placed behind a paywall (needing an active license).  It's pretty much a ghost town unless you give someone something to argue about, but I've already given my opinions on this in the past so I won't waste time rehashing.
    In the past year alone we have noticed a huge decline in the marketplace with numerous developers leaving and a lot of things becoming abandoned due to low sales and neglect from Invision's part for some of their own apps. I've been worried about this since 2018/19, and my concern just kept growing after each update and policy change. I've slowly realized that this may have not been the best software to use for my type of community, but I knew with the marketplace we could do our best to mold it the way we need it.  That clearly won't be an option for us now when there's only a few developers I trust to buy from and I see them posting about dropping support for apps that we use heavily. (An art site can't exist without a gallery, even though the gallery app is the most atrocious thing and we've spent so much money trying to improve it ourselves.)
    I say good luck to those who didn't have plans of leaving before today and also to those who decide to stay due to whatever circumstances. We've put thousands of dollars into this software, but eventually you have to sit down and really think about whether or not taking the loss is worth it in the end if you can do better elsewhere. The lack of transparency while preaching about transparency, the cheesy community manager reply rhetoric, and the subtle gaslighting is just bonkers.

    We still haven't moved over to the new achievement system because it lacks many features other 3rd party apps provided, one of them being able to categorize the badges. We have a lot of manual badges that we give out and we cannot do this efficiently without a category/sub-category system for the badge list.  Please add this ASAP.
    Still waiting on the ability to add descriptions to badges that don't use rules, too. 🙄

    I would recommend comparing this to the unmodified, default theme. Unfortunately, custom themes are outside our scope of support so that would be your best bet here.

    Holy crap this looks good!  After the backlash Instagram is facing lately, this is the one feature a lot of my members would love using on our own site.  Will purchase and test this out soon!

    Okay, I must be ignorant in this particular subject then, so I'll try to educate myself by asking a question. What exactly about your hosting costs more if our websites have more traffic?  I went and viewed 3 of the most popular website hosts on the market and I don't see anything about traffic/impression limits. Am I missing something?
    Sorry, the clarification wasn't to insinuate that it was expensive, I was just pointing out that in reality for most of those upset in these comments about the new renewal schedule that it would actually cost them $9 more per month in actuality.

    @Matt  You may have removed the online user limit for cloud hosting, but I see that you replaced it with a limit on page impressions instead. Why are you guys determined to force people to limit their traffic or get charged up the arse with fees? You make it seem like you did everyone a favor, but all you did was slap some lipstick on the pig. 
    Also, it’s $54/m. Let’s be real about the fact that a lot of those responding aren’t going to pay annually based on their feedback.
