Generally speaking, with the way the new tag system works, we'd not encourage 1800 tags. What do you use tags for?

It's weird because the stats show roughly 50/50 between mobile and desktop usage for forums across our cloud network. I hope that v5 makes it easier for people to use their mobile device to interact with the forum.

We're pretty close to being ready for the final release. We just have a few things we need to do internally first but we're close.

We pay for storage, not transactions so it won't really affect costings. I'm not sure that switching to SQLite (at considerable cost) will actually make any tangible benefit in terms of speed.

Linus Tech Tips which uses Invision Community was seen briefly on Marques' latest video:

The pricing has already been set. To upgrade to Invision Community 5, you will need to switch to the Classic license, and all the details of the costings are presented before you confirm the license switch. You cannot use the beta on your production site, but you can sign up for a v5 demo here: https://invisioncommunity.com/clubs/page/3-beta-information/

As long as you pass code web vitals, you’ll be fine. Also good luck running a large busy site on SQLite. 😀

I ran both tests again, and got this result. Yes, we do benchmark, but the claim about speed is based on using native lazy loading, removing loads of JS, moving assets into correct locations, the new CSS framework being smaller and the HTML structure being more compact.

Are you basing that opinion off screenshots from Adlago? He has spent years optimising his v4 installation to get the best PageSpeed score possible. I'm unsure how long he has spent with v5. In any case, a good portion of PageSpeed is down to the server, the use of CDN, etc. It's not just the software. Running the same test three times will give you three different scores, it's not an exact science. Likewise, running "grid" or "feed" view in v5 will result in lower performance scores because there's more images on the page; but I wouldn't just optimise for PageSpeed, actual humans use your community. In terms of "out of the box and running on the same hosting set up", here's our v4 compared to v5.

It really didn't.

As punishment, I will remove one random template hook point.

Added an issue, but please remember to post bugs in the bug tracker. 🙂

Yeah, the new icon picker would be ideal there.

From a Cloud perspective, our CDN optimises the images so it's not really a concern. We don't really use many images now, but those listed are generally around 1kb as-is.

Use your "Find My" to locate your laptop, then open your laptop. Kidding aside, we will continue to build on this basic implementation.

Yes, at worst we can upgrade your site to the latest 5 beta after purchase.

You may notice that Beta 9.1 is now available. We no longer talk about Beta 9.0.

Oh and from Beta 10 onwards, those on PHP 8.3.2 or newer can upgrade through the ACP. We fixed that, but you need the fix before the fix is.. fixed.

There should be an update out in about 10 minutes or so.

Yeah, I can reproduce. I'll get a patch out.

Beta 9 is here, and there's a little addition to the editor! Along with the usual weekly round up of bug fixes, we've added a basic implementation of tables in the editor. We're testing this out to see how it goes before we build on it, but you should be able to add rows and columns and do all the usual table-y things. Let us know what you think!

Changed Current Release to No
