Thanks, I'll sort it. Running the database tool on the support page should sort it in the mean time. Edit: new build on its way to fix it.

Invision Community 5.0.9 Beta 1 has been released! It's felt like a decade since our last beta, but it was only a month ago. Moving from almost weekly releases back to monthly makes the gap between releases feel like an eternity. If you want the full list of changes, check out: https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes-v5/509-beta-1-r43/ This release also adds some stats improvements (I'm about to write a blog about those...) and also adds Cloudflare's Turnstile CAPTCHA as an option. We've got some communication to do around that, but briefly if you're an Invision Community Cloud customer and using the default reCAPTCHA option, then you'll be switched to Turnstile. There is no need to do anything and you won't need to sign up to get keys. We handle all that because that's what you're paying for. 😇 At the end of this year, the default keys that we ship with reCAPTCHA will stop working due to Google policy changes, so self-hosting customers will need to sign up for their own keys and/or consider other captcha options. If this all sounds confusing, don't worry - we'll be doing some communication around that and ACP bulletins to get you all straightened out. Turnstile is a great CAPTCHA option and very good at being unobtrusive for real people but blocking bots. Give it a go!

It's on my list!

Um yeah. No. yeah. I'll add it to my to-do list. I might make it a thing in the support page or something.

Let me know if you need anything.

Yeah. We might have to consider a new OpenSearch class as Opensearch is fundamentally different from Elasticsearch now.

Honestly.. unlikely. That's the sort of thing we'll add to v5. We see v4 as maintenance for the most part now.

I just wanted to make a quick post about Invision Community's development over the next few months. We had been working with almost weekly releases for a while as we bolted out of the gate with v5 and needed to be agile towards fixing bugs and improving new features. We fell into a "one week beta, next week release" cadence for a few releases as the new version stabilised. Now v5 is pretty stable and maturing nicely. Does that mean we're putting our feet up? Our developers are developing, but I appreciate that you may have missed my bad puns and Gen X gifs, so here's what's coming up: Invision Community 5.0.9: this will be mostly bug fixes with one new feature we're excited about. This should be released by the end of the month. Invision Community 5.0.10: this will also fix some bugs, but will also contain another new feature we're very excited about and some really nice improvements to a specific area. This will be out towards the end of July. We'll have some blogs on all the new stuff coming pretty soon. We haven't forgotten about Invision Community 4.7 either. We're planning on a maintenance release at the end of the month also. Exciting times ahead!

Not yet, but only because they need to be balanced and adjust contrast depending on whether you're viewing with light or dark mode.

You can send in an email support ticket from your client area, just click on your site and you should see a box for that. Let me know if you cannot see that.

Marc is away this week, so other members of the team are managing support and aren't in the same timezone as Marc. I can see that Daniel has replied to your ticket. You sent the ticket in at 11am our time, and Daniel had replied by 11:41am. I don't think you need to tag and reply with "hello?" because we had not replied instantly. 😀

I've just flagged this to the support team, we're on it.

Just a note to say that 5.0.8 has now been released. Just the one extra bug fix: Fixes an issue where guests could comment on blogs when the group setting was set to off.

The only thing I can think of is that there's an encoding issue somehow. Perhaps you could zip up those named files and DM them to me? We do a simple MD5 check, but conversion of \n to \r anywhere would probably break it.

Is there any way I can get access to this site?

It's just some minor API changes and SSO things. Nothing exciting.

I've just pushed 5.0.8 Beta 3 to deployment, which should show up soon.There's not a huge amount that has changed, but we wanted just to test one last thing before we release the final version tomorrow.

Long before 3.0 is released. But then the sun will die in about 5 billion years and that may also be first.

The patch is safe. It's a few lines of code. The people that have been having trouble and been doing things like this:

I'll DM you, there's a few things odd.

Are you client area details up to date? I can take a look now for you. DM me if anything has changed.

I hear what you're saying but our build system is pretty fixed in its ways. When we release a new build ID (107803) as a git tag, we can name it either something new (4.7.21) or call it the same as the current release and then it'll be detected as a patch. A patch is often an easier path for customers because a full release (new human ID) would mean you'd have to run the upgrader. Also we tend to assign out human IDs a little in advance, so we have a lot of 4.7.21 already done by the time we needed to make a patch, which would mean we'd need to mess with tags in git to reset them to new IDs. For example, with 5.0.7, we already had a 5.0.8 in beta testing. We are looking to improve the patch system so that they are surfaced to the dashboard so it is more clear. There hasn't been a chance in unread icons. The changes were for the oauth call back endpoint and calendar events. Do you get this resolved? Just upload the files from the zip to the your server, overwriting the existing files.
