Ricsca

Hello, I have just finished setting up my new personal marketplace where this app is also available. For old customers there are a few steps to follow in order to have their purchase recognised:

1. Register on bbcode.it 
2. Send the product key for your purchase either via ticket on the site or via MP here on the forum

There are not yet all the apps on the site, but they will be uploaded in the next few days.

Ok thanks, now I don't get kicked out anymore.

But if I have a forum license, why do you have to FORCE me to pay more (from 110 to 199 per year), giving me applications like Pages, Commerce and Blog which honestly are garbage since you can get better results using other software?
In my project I use Forum and Gallery and honestly, Gallery is so poorly structured and neglected by your development that it is not worth buying. You should offer a light package, only forum.
I also have another project, an Italian support forum, invisionita, which is 13 years old. With these prices, it is becoming unsustainable for me to continue maintaining the project, translating the platform into Italian and helping with guides, etc. I cannot afford to pay $199 for unofficial Italian support.

Why does it seem like IPS just tries to sneak in a new pricing structure? This happened last time as well. Why can't you guys just make a blog post stating "hey are pricing structure is changing", why does it always have to be so secretive? It's only when a member notices it and brings it to light.
Well looks like this will be the end of IPS for me and will be switching back to Xenforo then. I always assumed V5 was just an update, not a whole new force to cloud. 

I have a license that I paid full price for a while back. I stopped renewing it because I never used it. I thought I was going to use it for something but it turns out I didn’t end up using the software for anything. I paid renewals for about a year or two but the software just say there not ever one time being used. It didn’t make sense for me to keep renewing it. 
 
However, I like to think that if I ever figure out a use for this software, then I have already paid for it more than a few times over. It should be there for me to use and start paying renewals again.
 
I hate to think that I would have to pay full price for it all over again. 😣
 

 
 

We no longer sell Invision Community Classic with individual applications. This is in preparation for v5 where there will no longer be a separation for the "applications" like there is now. It will just be all bundled together and more tightly integrated.
Old pricing for full Invision Community Classic was $850 upfront and $300 per year.
New pricing is $499 upfront and $199 per year.
You can reach out to sales if you have questions about pricing or options.

Hello,
https://invisioncommunity.com/buy/self-hosted/

 
I don't need all these applications, how can I buy it with my choosen apps only as it was before?
 

So no!

Any news on the new version?

Added a bug report for this 🙂 

Some new updates!!
MyClassifieds page:

Shipments have now edit and delete buttons:

Fixed the position of classifieds items in the user menu:

 

Let me introduce the feedback and the new 'MyClassifieds' area.
Here are some screenshots of the work in progress:

Like this?

Another big update.
Before, the seller could only close an advert with:

This was not the best, especially when an advert had a quantity greater than one.
I solved it by adding the functionality 'Confirm a Deal'. 


Now with 'confirm a deal' the system does not close the ad (but scale the quantity) but tracks the transaction.
Instead with 'Close Advert' you simply close the advert.
Confirm a deal is also the starting point for the functionality you have been waiting for so long... feedback.
New anticipations soon...
( If you have suggestions for improving existing functionalities, this is the right time to hear them )

Redesigned offer buttons as well:

I'm sorry if I didn't find if this idea was planned or something but here is what I suggest:
 
Create User List page and combine it with Staff, Leaderboard and other similar pages that can be done as tab in User List page. Also create search bar if you need to find specific user (not using default search bar and make it more specific & use less resources because you don't search in topics).
 
Little inspiration art from other website.

 
P.S. Really want reworked staff page 😀

I'd say the majority of users still don't even know it exists though which doesn't help

This is great!  One suggestion however...  a user would not know they're being blocked unless the person happened to stumble into their email settings.  
In my experience, this is very unlikely to happen.  Users don't check there often (or at all).  They may not even realize there is a problem or realize email has not been seen by them in a while to know to investigate.  
Could you add some sort of front-end notification as well?  

The red stripe could literally just be the email settings page you linked above where you explain the problem and ask the user to update their email.

I never knew about this!! 
I am going to give this a go and see how it goes 
 
 
I don't use all methods as users get annoyed with having to try and jump through hoops to join a forum and if they don't get it all right they get fed up and don't bother 

Edit the option Can login anonymously? for your groups in ACP. It has 3 choices:
Allowed Forced Disallowed If you're seeing everyone invisible this option might be set to Forced. If it's set to Allowed it might be a bug with the conversion that converted every member to hide their online status instead.
Or you can force everyone to be visible by choosing Disallowed so every member's choice doesn't apply.

!! Instead of adding extra features IPS need first have to clean up the CSS and JS code, which in many places is 60-70% not used at all and is unnecessarily loaded anyway to slowing down our forums.
*
Adding an option to join solutions? I realised that some of the members adding “almost” solutions to the topic and the another member adds the rest of it or at least extra information. I don’t want to be this person who on the end making an answer with two combined posts and taking away thehappiness and point(most solved etc) from them. 
As well, It will be nice to add an option to sendreactions in the bulk(admin only?) in certain topics(maybe can be optionally enabled in certain sub-forums) example…In https://xbox-vibes.com/topic/2284-question-of-the-weekpytanie-tygodnia-36/#comment-5982 , competitions/games all the answers are liked by me and sometimes I’d like just to pop in and award all the members who’s taking a part. 

I don't know about you, but I'm wondering if it's perhaps overdue that IPS got stuck into a huge performance and speed based review and implement it in the next medium sized update! I think a lot has changed in recent years in relation to site performance. Core Vitals in Lighthouse as many admins will be aware are now much more important in terms of SEO ranking, performance isn't just for the obsessed enthusiasts any longer!
Google Search Console tells me that on one of my IPS Communities, my Mobile Pagespeed test result sucks, just 28%-30% at present, so I started checking a few things under the hood. I like to keep my sites high performing, so I was quite surprised it was so low. 
One thing I found out in minutes looking at the optimisation list and then checking my IPS configuration is that if you have the IPS Lazy Loading feature enabled, it doesn't apply to your uploaded images in Advertisements or Post Author Member Group Icons. Both are shown in my topic view so I get scored down on mobile in particular.
I think it's now time that Native Lazy Loading was offered, either as a choice or as the default if enabled.
Also where possible IPS should support Local WebP conversion via the Task Manager.
I know some of us sometimes bash IPS for not delivering more obvious updates like Gallery, Blog, Pages and Commerce improvements for the sake of instead quick things like disabling features but IPS4 is quite a huge behemoth these days, no matter your pricey VPS, CiC, use of Redis pools etc.
More performance improvements I'd like to see considered include...
(Now admittedly I'm basing this list on a similar big audit that another website framework I invested in conducted and implemented last year. These are the options you can now simply toggle off/on as a result in their Dashboard. They can make a huge difference to bloat.)
Dynamic Modular Framework
Enable this to allow the IPS Framework to only load code that are actually used on the page, and process the logic for the features in actual use.
Dynamic CSS
Dynamic CSS could greatly reduce CSS file size by dynamically generating only the styles and assets necessary for the features and modules you actually use. This eliminates most if not all CSS file bloat and greatly improves load times.
Dynamic Icons
Font Awesome is 2 generations behind. The FA4 icon font could be broken up into various subsets. These subsets are loaded only when needed based on the modules and features used on each page. If you need access to the entire icon font on all pages (for example, if you are using lots of FA icons in a custom theme or want to allow members to insert them via the post editor), then you could disable this option and load the entire icon font library on all pages.
Load Dynamic Stylesheet In-line
This option dequeues the IPS style.css file and prints the needed contents in-line. This removes a render blocking request and improves the PageSpeed scores of individual pages. However, it also prevents the style.css file from being cached. Since the stylesheet is often smaller when dynamic or critical, it could be recommended to keep this option enabled. Accepted there are some potential CSP-related security concerns with inline CSS an or JS.
Critical CSS
Critical CSS greatly improves website load times and Google PageSpeed scores by deferring non-critical styles and eliminating render-blocking CSS requests. Critical CSS often covers what most users see when first loading the page, so called 'above the fold' content.
Critical Threshold Height
When Critical CSS is enabled, IPS would determine an "above the fold threshold" and defer all styles for elements below the fold. However, this threshold is just a estimate and can vary on different devices. Increasing threshold height will deffer fewer styles, resulting in slightly slower load times but less of a chance for Cumulative Layout Shifts to occur. If you are experiencing CLS issues you can then increase or lower the threshold 'height' via a drop-down low, medium, high setting.
Dynamic JavaScript Libraries
When enabled, IPS would only load external JavaScript libraries when they are needed by a specific sections or modules on the page. This removes unused JavaScript from the main scripts bundle and improves load times.
Improve Google Fonts Loading
Enable caching of Google Fonts and load them inline. This reduces render-blocking requests and improves page load times. Also presents an opportunity to switch to the Google Fonts API, to offer a dynamic dropdown list to allow admin to choose from all available GFonts. The Task Manager could check for and cache new versions of selected fonts in use weekly.
Limit Google Fonts Support For Legacy Browsers
Enabling this option will lower the size of Google Fonts and improve load times, however it will limit Google Fonts support in some very old browsers. You can turn this off to increase support for losers insisting on their older insecure browsers at a slight cost to performance.
Defer jQuery And jQuery Migrate
When possible, jQuery and jQuery Migrate could be moved to the body to speed up load times. If a third party plugin registers jQuery as a dependency, it would be moved back to the head.
Enqueue jQuery Compatibility Script
Some third party scripts may be incorrectly enqueued without declaring jQuery as dependency. If jQuery is deferred, these scripts could break. If you are experiencing console errors after enabling the "Defer jQuery And jQuery Migrate" option, you can enable this option, which will load an additional compatibility script that will attempt to solve the issue. (You can turn this feature off if everything is working fine without it).
Defer Additional Third Party Scripts
Warning: This can cause JavaScript errors in some cases and should be used with care. When enabled, scripts registered by plugins and themes will be deferred to improve performance and jQuery will always be loaded in the body.

Is there a way to display only the homepage as a grid and the subforums as a list?
Thank you
