I've tested both, and in my experience MariaDB is noticeably faster. Even though Invision Community doesn't specifically optimize for MariaDB, it still performs better than MySQL on my forum.

For me, it went smoothly without any errors.

For example, in the Forum Index Feed, I'm missing an option to set the number of displayed topics.

@Matt Will there be any new template customization features in version 5.1?

I can't wait.

I'm interested

Are you counting users who are only on Classic V5, or also those using V4? Because there are still quite a lot of forums running on V4.

I don’t think that’s true when it comes to the number of users choosing cloud vs self-hosted - unless you’re referring to revenue from cloud compared to self-hosted. Let me clarify - what I mean is that, in my humble opinion, the majority of users still prefer self-hosted solutions over cloud. You can clearly see this reflected in the discussions on the forum.

The latest supported PHP version is 8.3, not 8.4.

Do you host the forum yourself, or are you using the Invision Community cloud?

Made more progress removing old unused JavaScript libraries, templates and controllers, helping to reduce the amount of JavaScript we use when loading a page. Watch this space for more in future. @media My forum after the update: 93 performance points on mobile and 96 on desktop. UI/UX changes and code optimization are key priorities for me. After the update, the forum noticeably sped up, which is great to see.

It went smoothly without any problems.

The little bears like this the most, haha. 🙂 Hope there’s as much code cleanup as possible. Thanks!

Look for group promotions options.
