Beta 11 is here (already!)
It'll be 11.1, it's not worthy of being a 12.

I'm going to do another release which fixes the profile photo issue shortly.

@Esther E. is this a CSS thing?

Beta 11 is here. Why do we have Beta 11 out so soon you may ask? Well, there's a few reasons; the first being that this contains a few fairly big changes to the location of app specific static files, and uses the Monaco editor for code boxes as the TipTap code editor didn't handle syntax highlighting on very large files very well. Oh, and also because we're upgrading this forum to v5 on Monday, so we wanted some extra testing ahead of that. Changes are here: https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes-v5/ Let me know how you get on.

v5 and the lack of physical products
As above, if there is an appetite for something, we will pursue it.

v5 and the lack of physical products
It's a bit chicken and egg. If we can understand what is needed, we can take a look at possible solutions.

Anyone else having trouble with Downloads file screenshots?
Matt replied to Adriano Faria's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionCan you give me some context around that? - Are you on the latest release? - Have you tried deleting caches via the AdminCP? - Have you performed an action recently that would have gone that?

From Human-Centric to AI-Driven: The Future of Forums in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
"As things stand, we currently have no AI capabilities. It is as if we have, unfortunately, not yet awakened from the coma that the rest of the world suddenly emerged from in 2022, when everyone was hit by a sweeping wave of AI fever." Not strictly true. Some of our cloud packages come with AI powered image detection and can hold images and posts for moderation if they are NSFW. We also have AI powered spam detection at Enterprise level. How much are you prepared to pay for that? Keep in mind that we are not pulling in billions of dollars in ad revenue so any development costs have to be evaluated carefully. Should we add some AI assistant tools in 5.0.1, or revamp how clubs work making them more useful to micro communities? Neither answer is wrong, but simply saying "AI exists and you should integrate it ASAP" does not mean the execution is as simple. Also keep in mind that any AI API costs to use, so we'd need to pay for each request or you'd need to pay a subscription to an AI engine such as ChatGPT. Even still, Apple with its significant R&D reserves only managed to add a fairly lacklustre "Apple Intelligence" layer over the top of its first party apps that does little more than summarise long emails and uses ChatGPT-like proof reading and rewriting tools.

Matt replied to Adriano Faria's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionWell, I guess that's an option. A not very helpful option, though.

Matt replied to Adriano Faria's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionCan you add ACP details to your client area? I can take a look again but this seems to be a different issue to missing screenshots.

Matt replied to Adriano Faria's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionIs anyone still seeing an issue? I cannot reproduce now.

Report management interface for clubs
We do want to put a lot more effort into clubs post 5.0.0 and this is a good idea.

From Human-Centric to AI-Driven: The Future of Forums in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
Your needs. Have a problem with your iPhone? Google will show you links to the Apple forum where you can either read from other's experiences or write your own. Car heater stopped working? You post on a forum to ask for advice or places that can fix it (personal experience 🙂). Playing a complex game and need help? There's likely forum links in Google ready to help that you can reply to. This isn't wishful thinking, it's what is happening every single day. I appreciate you see it as self-deception but all our existing clients do not. Human to human relationships are key to any community. The increase in bland, generic, long-winded and often incorrect AI content has fatigued us to craving genuine connection. Forums have become more transactional, but I do not really understand your point. If we filled this forum with generic AI content alongside genuine human created content, the human created content would generate more interactions. Again false. Google have started to push forum content above AI content because they are concerned that the AI generated content is not as useful. As Charles mentioned, we are researching AI tools to help -- not replace -- humans, so in your example things like: - Making reports - Suggestion tags - Creating summaries - Helper/reply bot guiding the original poster to more help (looks like you're having an issue with your database, try this article or create a ticket) Are all valid tools that we have discussed internally. You mentioned social media platforms, and it’s worth noting that while they’re massive content engines, many are actively seeking alternatives. They’re looking for slower, deeper, and more meaningful exchanges; something forums are uniquely positioned to offer. By leaning into what forums do best, we carve out a space for people who value genuine human connection. We are an escape from social media and mass produced AI content, not a contributor.

Built-in online status for forums.
It can be unreliable when you're not using the Node (cloud) APIs as it is based on where the member last clicked, and for efficiency that is only updated once every three minutes or so.

Built-in online status for forums.
It's something we're playing with. Any expansion on the status on not on the roadmap for 5.0.0.

Beta 9 is now on the table!
It's on the roadmap. v5.0.0 is the starting gun on the next generation of Invision Community, there's loads we want to do but first, we must release the first version.
-
v5 and the lack of physical products
We're always happy to listen to the needs of third party developers and to see what we can do to help. It's worth keeping in mind that 5.0.0 will be available alongside v4, and we intend to support v4 for some time yet so if you have a community that relies on certain features that only exist on v4, then my advice would be to keep using v4 and engage with developers (and us) to see if there is a pathway to have that functionality on v5 at some point in the near future.

Matt replied to AintNobody's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionJoey, what on Earth are you doing? Uograding to a beta isn’t supported, so just roll back to the back up you took before you started. We can help but we’re not at work until tomorrow.

Beta 10 is here!
Right, let's slap "final" on it and call it good. Yeah?

Marquee App?
This man has a really good yoga program that helped my back a few years back. Did you get what you need for your ticker?
-
Marquee App?
I am mock-agnostic, it isn't limited to people who pay our bills. Poor jokes aside, I meant no offence. Although tickers in general are fairly poor UI. v5 comes with an autoplaying carousel option which might be better.
