Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
 

I have another problem.
If I have a public club in which I create a database for club moderators only, then anyone (including users who are not members of the club) can read the database. 
If I revoke the rights in the ACP in the database permissions, they can no longer access it, but they see it permanently under unread content in the activity feed.

I have just tested it, unfortunately it does not work.
I have a user in a group who only has the rights to see the database and to read its entries, but no write rights.
The club member can still create entries.

Feel free to post up within the feedback area if you wish to see changes in this area

Welcome to the third video of our sneak peak series! Today, we're really excited to introduce you to the new Theme Editor!
Built entirely from scratch, the new editor provides an instant, live preview of your theme, as soon as you modify a setting. It's a zero-code approach to creating themes, and has been designed to ensure your theme adheres to your color scheme and looks great on every device, with very little effort. Let's take a closer look!
 
Paragraph 1.mp4
 
To the left of the editor, you’ll see a live preview of your community. You can navigate to any page, as if you were browsing your site normally. At the top left of the editor, you’ll find icons which change the theme between the light and dark color schemes. Below that are buttons which change the viewport size, from desktop, to tablet, to mobile. This is a really convenient way to ensure your theme looks great on every device, without needing to manually resize your browser window.
Lets take a closer look at the Color Palette.
Editing colors in version 4 was a fairly time consuming process. For example, modifying the color scheme from the default blue to another color meant that 26 theme settings needed to be changed. In contrast, the Version 5 theme is powered by just 3 colors: Primary colors are responsible for styling the main elements on your page, such as the Start new topic button. Secondary colors control minor elements, such as pagination links, while the Base color is responsible for controlling the overall tint on your site.
Clicking on these colors opens a color picker. Let’s change this blue color to yellow.

You’ll notice two things have happened here. First, the preview window updated as soon as we modified the color. All elements which were previously blue, now use yellow, such as the Start new topic button. Secondly, the text color in our button has changed from white to black. This is our automatic contrast feature and it ensures our text is easy to read on our new yellow background, since white text may be more difficult to read for some viewers.
Below the color picker is a text box, with our color displayed in HSL. You can paste your own colors in this box, in any color format and that color will be applied to your elements.

The Base color controls the tint of your backgrounds and text colors. Let's try a few examples to demonstrate how easy it is to recolor your theme.

Next up are Logos! Invision Community 5 has three logo types: a text logo, an image logo for desktops and an image logo for mobiles. Let’s edit our text logo.
 
Video 5.mp4
 
After changing the text to “Theme Editor Demo”, we can see that the logo in our preview window updates instantly with our new text. Below that, we have multiple options to help us style the text logo, such as font-family These fonts are a combination of system fonts and web fonts. The web fonts are hosted locally on your site for optimal performance. Additionally, we can also change the font-weight and font-size. We might want a different font-size for mobile logos, so that can be edited too. We can see a live preview by changing our viewport to the mobile option.
If you’d prefer to use an image logo, you can assign it using the Image Logo options. Image logos are made up of 2 upload fields, one for the light theme and one for the dark theme. Below these upload fields, a slider lets you resize your logo so it fits neatly.

Layout options let you assign the default layouts in your community. In our first sneak peak video, we showcased the new side panel layout, feed view for forum categories, and compact view for topics. These can all be enabled via the theme editor using a simple select menu.
 
Video 7.mp4
 
Lets explore some Color options! In the Header panel, we can see a list of elements we can customize. Clicking on an element opens the Swatch List, which is a list of 22 colors that are powered by the Base, Primary and Secondary colors from earlier. We have 6 "light" base colors, 6 "dark" base colors as well as various shades of our primary and secondary colors. Clicking on any of these swatches will apply that color to your element.
But what if none of these colors suit your requirement? That’s where the Color Picker comes in handy. Here, we can easily choose any color, or even paste in our own color like before.

A major hurdle with themes in version 4 was customising the header. Depending on the complexity, this would typically involve modifications to both the CSS and HTML. That is a thing of the past with version 5! If we flick over to our Settings tab, you’ll see a brand new interface for customising the header. A new drag and drop feature allows you to easily reposition header elements without touching a single line of code.
 
Video 9.mp4
It’s an incredibly fun tool to play with, and we’re really excited to hear what you think!
Below the drag and drop area, we can customise the header further by using sliders to adjust its height, or we can enable navigation icons with a single click. Body settings let you can customise global elements such as the body background color, text colors, the max-width of your site, the font-family, font-size and more.
Editing Content boxes has always required code modifications in the past. Using this new editor, we can adjust not only the colors of the boxes, but also the borders and shadows. Theme editing has honestly never been this easy!
 
Video 10.mp4
And there you have it! Our brand new theme editor. With a few simple clicks and drags, we've been able to create a customised theme that looks great on desktops and mobiles, with a new color scheme, new logos, a customised header, new page layouts and restyled content boxes - all without touching a single line of code.
Speaking of code, for those of you who want to apply more advanced customisations, we’ve added a really convenient way to access your custom CSS file, via a new dialog box.
Video 11.mp4
And last but not least - the new theme editor is fully responsive, so even if you’re away from the desk, so you’ll be able to change colours and settings, upload new logos, redesign your header and even add your own code!
 
Video 12.mp4
 
Developing this new editor has been a lot of fun, and it’s even more fun to use. Themes have never been easier to edit and we're really excited for you all to get your hands on it so you can have a play for yourself - but for now, let us know what you think the comments, and we’ll see you next time!

If you uncheck sending reports back to IPS for the mark as spam option, it will send nothing back to IPS on marking an item as spam. 
On the GeoIP side of things, the IP address would be sent to IPS only, in order to return the ip lookup information, but no identifiable information is sent
 

Thank you so much for being a client!
The Invision Community Marketplace is closing on October 30, 2023, so I am moving all of my files over to my personal site www.sosinvision.com.br.
You will find information on my website www.sosinvision.com.br:
You can redeem the marketplace purchase keys provided by IPS in order to keep getting updates and support for the applications/plugins you purchased. You can purchase files directly on my marketplace. You can get support for your purchased applications/plugins directly on their new support topics. You can request a custom application/plugin or service. Bookmark https://www.sosinvision.com.br/ and the new Marketplace Directory www.Invisioneer.org.  

I have a question about IPS Spam Defense and the GeoIP module.
If I uncheck the Send repots back checkbox, exactly what data does IPS receive, is it stored and to which country is it sent?
And what data IPS receives when I enable the GeoIP module?
Sorry to ask this, but in the EU such a module in its current form is a bit difficult to use and we have problems with spam.
Kind regards,
Vakarian

No. Moving to v5 will require accepting the new license terms. If you want to accept those terms early, you can gain access to the new pricing structure immediately including having access to all of the applications.  

Those that do not want the new terms can stay on v4. 

We do have plans for an opt-in before viewing embeds but it'll likely not be in 5.0. Version 5 is the start of the next chapter and it'll mature quickly over a number of releases.

Self-hosting license prices have already been released for v5. You can even switch to the pricing now (Client Area > Manage Purchases > "Change your license to new Invision Community Classic terms"

When a user writes something, the content counter increases, as it should.
At some point, the user rank is increased, badges are assigned and groups are promoted.
If you delete content now (e.g. spam in a club) the counter does not decrease, user rank remains and a user who effectively has almost no content because everything is always deleted has a high rank and so on.
There are rules like new content created (+10 points), user followed (+2 points), you could also get negative rules like content is deleted (-8 points), user is unfollowed (-1 point)?
Could you get an option that content from clubs will not be counted, content from forums where the option that content will not be counted is set, will not be included in the forum statistics.
And last but not least, that when you rebuild achievements, you could select which achievements are not affected. 
As an example from practice:
The success "Visit our community at Easter".
For this we have created a rule, which is active for the Easter days and then deactivated again. With a new build of the successes, this success is withdrawn from all users. 
This would make the whole system, which is really nice and well received in the community, a little more solid against abuse.

No. Same for both apps: Ignore Forums and Topics., basically because this is not a Forums resource. It’s a suite wide resource.
 

A detriment to the devs will be the loss of all the reviews their plugin/apps have generated. It would be a nice gesture on IPS' behalf if there was a way to salvage them.

The new version is pending since yesterday. It's done.
Sorry, it seems I missed this one. Nope, not possible. This is not "Forum" resource and it uses an existing stream to grab the counter.

I have already found that, but it is not really good.
I only want to remove the background colour, unfortunately this option also removes paragraphs and such.

Is there any way to remove the text background colour in the cke editor?
Whenever something is copied, the text always has a background color and that doesn't look nice. 
Greeting,

v1.4.0 was released yesterday
NEW
added a setting to provide control over groups allowed to choose to display badges

Here is what it looks like on the default Invision theme, which is what I work with:

You're using a custom theme, plus you've included the user's reputation information in the same area as the badges, so things look different and more cramped as a result.
If you want the badges placed in a different location then suggest the position and I can look into options for that, but unfortunately, all I can suggest to you right now is to disable the display of the reputation information.
Missed this last night...I could have sworn I had an option in there to control group access to the functionality but at first glance, it appears I don't - I'll double-check tomorrow morning on this one.

Bloody cache - I shake my fist at it!!
Enjoy! Let me know if you have any ideas on other areas to 'Display my badges'!

Ok for whatever reason, now it works. Thanks anyway 🙂 

Please update to the latest release, which should resolve the issue you are having there

I close the popup; next reload, it's there again.

Since the latest patch I have problems with setting cookies, it's a disaster!
e.g. I have a Dark/Light Mode Switcher which saves the setting as a cookie in the browser. Doesn't work anymore with the latest update, as well as pretty much all non-standard cookies that don't come from IPS.
Is there any way to change this?

That's crap.
Why are updates that affect an essential system and don't seem to work correctly released through the stable update channel?

This looks to be a bug where you are not using {cookies} for the cookie language of the cookie bar but manually typing in your own language, URL, etc... There seems to be an issue with this.
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
