  1. Hi David, Any period of degraded performance is frustrating for us all. We have put a lot of energy and cost into ensuring our systems stay online and weather even the most persistent online storms but very rarely some do get through and we need to tweak our protection. Looking back at our independently monitored uptime, we have a 99.9% uptime record with very few periods of significant downtime since Jan 1st 2023. What happened in the early hours of the morning was inconsistent with our long standing performance records and we do not take it lightly. We continue to improve our systems and will keep you updated of any changes. Thank you again for your patience. You, or anyone else reading is very welcome to submit a support ticket if they have any questions or concerns. You are welcome to bookmark and review our independent status page: https://status.invisioncommunity.com P.S. I'm going to move this to the existing topic.
  2. We're still gathering data, but we experienced a significant network attack between 11:00pm and 3:15am EDT which affected roughly 15% of our client accounts who experienced degraded performance and short pockets of intermittent downtime. It has since been resolved but we'll need to do a closer look at the data during US office hours for a more complete and accurate picture.
  3. An update on extensions
  4. Anything significant will be for v5. We have two code bases which have diverged significantly, so it's a fair bit of work to merge v4 code into v5. I currently do this manually with patch files.
  5. We've released some news on Invision Community Five, but third party developers won't have enough information to get started on updating their apps. We're at the peak of the mountain now and ready to start showing more in the coming weeks. I am really excited to start showing off the culmination of just under six month's work from our team.
  6. No dates, but we're unlikely to release a major new version around a public holiday when our team are enjoying time away with their family. You'll definitely see more of Invision Community 5 this year. In terms of the JS bundling changes, the answer is 'no' but not 'never'. We want Invision Community 5 to be the start of something new, and we'll be converting JS over to native and changing how things are bundled over the early part of its lifecycle. We didn't want to add another 6-9 months onto its development schedule to rewrite all the JS which is a massive undertaking and offers very slim benefits to almost everyone outside of Google speed tests.
  7. Hey, the 80s was peak civilisation.
  8. For cloud, we may be able to do this by the realtime system to see who is on the page and actively using the editor.
  9. Automated using various metrics. Yep.
  10. How’s the music on this one @Dll?
  11. This is correct. We have a new license for v5 which alters the renewal structure and removes the ability to "mix and match" apps. To download v5, you'd need to first switch licenses via the client centre. To be clear, you won't need to re-purchase a new license, just agree to switch to the v5 license.
  12. Thanks, we're currently investigating.
  13. If you go to Settings > Advanced Configuration and under the tasks block, click on "View Tasks" in the description, you should see the view updates task with a lock next to it, click that and then it should run ok.
  14. For caching to be effective, it needs to be more a long enough period of time to make it worth storing, but short enough that content is updated regularly. A 30 second cache will increase overhead but for very little benefit. We have found that the 15 minute cache is the best balance between overhead and usefulness. We have "realtime" activity for cloud customers so you can always see who is active in a topic regardless of caching and when members log in, they are served live pages, not the cached ones.
  15. Glad it’s all resolved now. I’m going to lock this now as it’s all sorted.
  16. Cloud customers do get tickets. The ticket was sent in around 1am our time Sunday morning. I responded around 8:30am and got the help of Marc to investigate the issue. We have auto renewing SSL certificates which rely on a CNAME being added to the domain which we inform the customer at the time they sign up. On this occasion the CNAME is missing from the domain name which we do not control so the auto renewal is flagged as PENDING on our side. As soon as the CNAME entry has been added, it’ll auto renew. So to be clear, the customer got support on a Sunday morning by two members of our team for an issue that was with the domain name we do not control.
  17. The Hive team is also aware of the logo issue and is working with FZ to diagnose the issue.
  18. I've replied to FZ in the ticket, but a few things to mention here that we'll improve on: 1) The sidebar widget will only show if you are not subscribed to your own site via Hive. You (the admin) are subscribed automatically during set up, so when you drag in the Hive widget, it won't show for you - but it will show for others. It's a bit confusing but if you log out (or use a private browser tab) you'll see the widget in all its glory. We're looking at ways to improve this so you get some kind of message if you are subscribed. 2) We're working on onboarding to reduce confusion. The site was added and it is pulling in data. I've left a recommendation for FZ on how to log back in.
  19. I've moved this into a support ticket so we can have a closer look.
  20. We use the member ID in the URLs to ensure that the link goes to the correct place. There are some occasions where the 'friendly' part of the URL may not be unique. UTF8 allows for a wide range of characters, some not visible so it would be possible to use specific UTF8 sequences which would be stripped during the FURL process, which could mean that without the URL there is the possibility of it pointing to the wrong person. It also means that permalinks stored externally still work even when the user has changed their name.
  21. We do have plans for an opt-in before viewing embeds but it'll likely not be in 5.0. Version 5 is the start of the next chapter and it'll mature quickly over a number of releases. Self-hosting license prices have already been released for v5. You can even switch to the pricing now (Client Area > Manage Purchases > "Change your license to new Invision Community Classic terms"
  22. More news on theming coming soon.
  23. I have a lot of thoughts on this which I’ll put in a blog at some point but we as a platform service two different community needs; transactional and social. The transactional topics benefit most from helpful/solved. Less useful for social conversational topics where notes and moderator tools come in.
  24. Never gonna give him up! At the bottom near the footer currently. There is an 'auto' mode to take the value from your OS.
  25. It's a setting, so it's up to you. 🙂
