I don't want to endlessly talk about this. It's been covered so many times, so I'll do a quick recap: 1) No, self-hosted is not being removed and no, we're not "crippling" it even though it only accounts for 12% of sales now. 2) Yes, there are product tiers and features that are only available to some tiers. This is how all businesses operate. We really have to move on from how forums used to operate a decade ago as that model is long dead. We can't keep having the same conversation each time we create something that isn't available on all plans. 😀

It will. While we might have features for higher tiers, it does not mean that we are abandoning Invision Community Classic (aka self-hosted) or going to remove core features already in there.

We want to add a bunch more rules that will not be package specific.

Ehren sees all anyway, no tags required. 😁

I don’t think you can compare the speed of a production site against my localhost connected to a tunnel via ngrok so I could record on my phone using a site in dev mode with all caching off.

I'll raise this internally. Thanks.

We enjoy making them, thanks for the positive feedback.

Yeah, this is an easy win and an overlooked feature. I'll make a note.

We've all been there. You accidentally remove the wrong block when using the Page Editor, and that custom HTML or WYSIWYG editor block is gone forever. You may have also moved some blocks around, only to realise the layout was perfect before. The new Invision Community 5 Page Editor is a powerful tool that enables you to create custom pages using your community data. We know how effective it is; we have used it to build out this site. We also know the pain of deleting the wrong block or wanting to revert to a previous layout. Our Invision Community 5 July release introduces the ability to roll back to a previous version, providing confidence in using the Page Editor, knowing that any action can be undone. The video shows the Page Editor rollback in action. In this example, I "accidentally" removed a text editor with custom text inside. In the past, this would have meant recreating it from scratch, but now you can view past versions of the page from within the Admin CP and restore it with just a few clicks. Each time you change something when using the Page Editor, such as adding a block, editing a block's settings, or changing the block template, a revision is stored. When you click the "Finish Editing" button, a manual save event is stored which is a great way to navigate the list of changes. Those manual save events act as definitive versions of that page. The filters allow you to review those changes quickly, and even show just the changes you made in your last Page Editor session. Accidental deletes, experimental layouts gone wrong and incorrectly edited settings are now a thing of the past. We hope that you find this new feature useful. I know we will! View full blog entry

Yes, this is for all Invision Community packages including self-hosted.

Yes, you can do that.

Hah, I've just finished one more which is scheduled and we've got some finishing touches to add to the last two.

We've got three more blogs on the way of new features. 😇

Invision Community's advertising system enables the inclusion of linked images in your community's feeds to highlight events, draw attention to important updates, and promote external services. You can even monetise your community by selling advertising space via the built-in commerce tools. In Invision Community 5’s July release, we’ve added several improvements to the advertising system to make advertisement placement more flexible and even allow them to be placed in emails. Let’s dive in! A flexible approach to advertisement placementThe system enables you to place advertisements between topics when viewing a list and between posts when viewing a specific topic. However, the current setup only allows for advertisements to be displayed at set intervals, which may not achieve your desired results. For example, if you set an advertisement to appear every three rows and repeat once, it could end up appearing on the sixth row instead of the intended placement. The update introduces an additional option that allows you to place items via intervals, for example, every 10 rows, or via a specific list position, such as after the third item. In addition, you can now specify which forums you want the advertisements to show, giving you even more flexibility when targeting content. Selling email advertisement slotsNew to our Invision Community 5 July release is the ability to sell advertisements in select emails, such as notifications. You could do this for internal marketing, or to generate revenue for your community. The advert will appear at the top of the email. You can set up advertisement sales from the built-in Commerce functionality. You can choose to sell advertisement space on your community, or you can sell advertisement space in notification emails. Furthermore, you can choose which member groups receive these advertisements as well as target specific areas of the community. In addition to these features, we’ve given the Page Editor widgets a refresh to improve their functionality. We continually strive to enhance existing features, and we hope you enjoy the updates to our advertisement system! View full blog entry

And the numbers are crunched cloud-side, not on the fly like the other metrics.

I need to update the dev notes, but it made it in.

All resolved (and was about 30 mins ago). Try again now if you haven't already. Thanks!

Your luck is in, because we've just released 5.0.9!

Or AI vector mapping. 👀

Yes, that's a good point.

Yep we can take a look at that.

It’ll be in the next beta.
