Forums are dying because they don't adapt to the new way of consuming content and communicate with other people. 
Whether IPS, XF, vB, wBB, ... it's just not fun to use them on mobile, it's way too cumbersome. Besides, a responsive layout can't compete with something designed specifically for these devices.
I mean just look at this, nothing more to say.

Next point, why should I sign up on a forum when I'm already on Discord or wherever? And all my friends are already there too?
Forums will always have their place in some genres like support or other special interrest niches and for oldschool users who prefer desktop computers, but that are minorities.

Start with creating a filename.php with something like this ...
<?php require_once('init.php'); \IPS\Dispatcher\External::i(); $html = 'Lorem ipsum ...'; \IPS\Output::i()->sendOutput( \IPS\Theme::i()->getTemplate('global', 'core')->globalTemplate('Supertolle Seite', $html)); Then check out sites like w3schools and fill the file with your content.
For landingpages and so on you don't even need the pages application.

Personally, I think it needs a few more links like so:

Hello, ive been paying for a invision community forums subscription for around 2 monthes now, but i havent used it.
Is there any way i can cancel the subscription? & also get a refund on a theme ive bought? (45$ theme)

If it still works with PHP8 there should be no problems with the latest IPS version, but I can take a look this evening.

I figured IPS Staff would be looking through this feedback forum, but I'll definitely share this thread in that topic so there is visibility. Thanks!

I totally agree with this, other clients have the same concern as well...
I developed a little plugin to overcome this by allowing admins to select the default search area, not sure if IPS will approve it or not (Now awaiting MP approval).

It may not be realistic but that's what they do.  We have to remember that these are ordinary people who are 'used' to just typing in what they are looking for.  As @Markus Jung noted people are used to Google and YT, WP and SM etc, and just type and click/tap.  Attention spans are generally at a low eb for regular use items and to 'expect' people to notice is as unrealistic as expecting that they do notice.  We have to put ourselves in the same shoes as users, not admins and not experts at using the system.  A search bar implies you can search the site - if you want to drill down then we need to educate users that they can drill down, if they want.
An example that I have come across many, many times with people I know (including clients) is with Google search.  Not one of them knew that by clicking on 'tools' that they can have more options to drill down further depending on what they are searching for.

My point being that 'expecting' people to notice this (when it has never been that way before) is expecting too much.  Over time users who visit regularly may notice and get used to it, but the casual passer-by will probably not, and that can cost you a member.  Search 'Everywhere' should be the starting point and then let a user know that there are other options available by making them more noticeable (push it to them).

Or (and in my opinion even better) make it default to search everywhere. If you get too many results, you can then narrow the search in the next step.

I see them doing well with this. Their mobile app is already great, same as the desktop app. They have apps everywhere on every device. They have a modernized clean UI, which is a big seller.

It's so horrible it's funny haha
At most this is just a complement to enrich your community, which I find super welcome, improving how you organize things.
I even adopted it as a support area, you can organize it by department in one place, which I thought was great.
Other than that, it's all very bad and simple.

...from reading this.


 

Now they're deleting posts. Yikes.

Another suggestion, @Matt.
 Make this message visible to everyone:

 
Transparency never hurts and will certainly avoid posts and messages asking to update.
Currently it shows only to file submitter (and staff).

This just really sucks. Sorry,i needed to say that. I did not get ANY error or Warning BEFORE the upgrade about out-dated versions. Al versions where 4.7.1 and im running PHP 7.4.29
