A very fair point.

No idea but I have this stuck in my head now.

Mark the forum as read and it should track correctly from now on.

We can cancel licenses, and we can send notices to the host, but with a self hosted product, we have no direct way to shut the site down. We always follow up on piracy but it is a long a difficult path with most people using a nulled site who tend to find refuge with hosts that are either very slow to follow up on DMCAs or positively ignore them. The most likely outcome is they get kicked from one host and set up on another. That is the risk we take by offering a downloadable product.

I took a quick look at your site, and my best guess is that the there is an issue with the database import where it looks like it has converted whitespace into a character. It may be as simple as editing the footer template and saving it to correct the issue.

Hi Marco, thanks for bringing this to our attention. It looks like the nulled version you found is Invision Community 4.4.9.2 from January 2020. It does not contain any of the cloud exclusive features. We do not ship any of the cloud application, and even if they had the files they could not connect to our network that powers those features as none of that functionality is exposed to the outside internet. You would just get a connection error. I understand your frustration but this person has effectively stolen our work. This is a criminal act. You would not observe someone stealing a car and think "wow, they got a car for free, why am I still leasing?" and then pick up a brick and stroll towards the nearest car. 😆 Piracy is an unfortunate side effect of offering a downloadable product. Most of the time a person uses a stolen credit card to get the files and then re-distributes them. This costs us twice, in the stolen download and then in chargeback and payment processing fees. We have learned over the years that it is pointless to try and sign any downloads. We used to store hidden data in JPG EXIF but most warez sites take 2 or 3 copies from different people and then use diff to see what looks different between versions and then simply remove any signed files or data. We do follow up piracy but it's a long slog as most hosts are uninterested or the person using the nulled version jumps from low cost host to low cost host.

I logged into here recently and saw I had 733 new PMs, so something is off. I'll move this to a bug report so we can look further.

Yes, I think this is where we will go. We didn't do this for v1 due to time constraints.

That would probably slow things down as you need to keep multiple DB connections open and less chance of using joins, etc.

To recap from the video answer: not so in chat, perhaps in questions - or at least image uploads.

But as above, you will (soon) get a notification when it is ready.

Ergmont, not at this time. It does take maybe 30 seconds to process.

Although this won't occur today because we're not using the latest build in production, future live events will send a notification to all attendees when the live topic is ready to view on the forums.

Yes, this will come in a near future version.

I'm not sure I follow. Outside of the odd errant query, databases aren't really a bottleneck, especially in terms of page speed.

Yes, we're going to look at some of this for v5.

It has been restored for 4.7.8 in Pages (March release). 🎉

We can likely reveal the media path/filename in Pages. We did not do this because self-hosted allows you to have images in the database, in a local disk folder or on s3 so the full path and filename would break if you moved it to a new domain. Cloud doesn't have this problem.

Thanks Tripp. Perhaps the biggest disconnect is in understanding that cloud isn't a bit of shared server space, with CPanel and phpMyAdmin, etc. You don't get your own server space in the classic way. You don't even get your own PHP files. Cloud is a bundle of scalable technology including PHP, MySQL, Python, NodeJS, Redis, NoSQL, WAF, SQS, etc. We leverage all that tech for the newest features and it's just not possible to make it work on a normal PHP/MySQL server.

You will need to toggle off one of the items under 'Content' for the tabs to show up. If you can't add, delete or edit database articles, what are you going to do with the report? You can't take any action.

We've taken a look at this, and the code for this area has not changed in 2018. You are correct that there is only one "Databases" tab, and not a tab for each database, but it looks like it has been this way for at least 5 years. What did you see previously, and on which version? To be clear, the new Database tab will only appear if it has been assigned to a page (either via manual tag in the content box, or via drag and drop). Until the database is on a page, it is treated as hidden from the rest of the system.
