@Stuart Silvester We understand that you are currently working on two versions 4.x and 5.x simultaneously, but please test the new release properly - before releasing it. Too many bugs and omissions for one release. 🙏 Have a nice weekend.
 

We've just pushed out a patch that should address these issues with appearing to be logged out on first visit.
Please apply it from AdminCP > System > Get Support  - In the 'Invision Community' box, you'll see an optional patch (if applicable to your community).

So as you can see, with a longer phrase, the whole cell gets bigger and it looks unsightly.

FIX:
.cForumMiniList_count {white-space: nowrap;} AFTER:

Hi. As in the title, the ipsSpacer_top class can be removed because it only adds unnecessary margin.


Temp FIX via CSS:
.cTopic.ipsSpacer_top{margin-top:0;}

Changelog
 

after unchecking the box and reload page, the box is still checked 😐

I am also patched to the latest updated and I am experiencing the same problem. This only started once I applied the patch.

For me, after rejecting cookies, the banner appears for 1 second each time the page is reloaded. Irritating 😖

Since updating to 4.7.11 earlier today members are reporting that they have to keep logging in despite ticking the remember me option.
I have replicated this myself on my iPhone - if I close safari completely and then open it the forum shows me visiting as a guest but as soon as I click on login or any other link then it logs me back in automatically.
It’s almost as if initially it ignores the saved cookies but once you click on something it works correctly?
Anybody else seeing anything like this?

the patch solved the problem.

the patch solved the problem.

It looks like this is due to the translated strings on the buttons being too long for the space available. We'll see what we can do although I do want to avoid the cookie banner overlaying the entire screen on mobile.

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.
 

Unnecessary quotation marks in the cookie link 😐

As in the title, something should be done with these links so that the robots do not waste time crawling and following them

Hi, I updated 4.7.10 to 4.7.11 and now in the admin panel you can't change the color of the panel. When trying to change nothing changes all the time there is a dark version.

Yes but during 5’s lifecycle we will be removing it and using native. Any new front end functionality is mostly native. 

☀️ Welcome to this week's Invision Community Insight! ☀️ 
Thank you for checking out this weekly round up post. I hope you have had a lovely week and are looking forward to the weekend!

Changelog
 

Invision Community 5 will support PHP 8.2.

We've spent a few weeks really cleaning up the codebase as PHP becomes more strict about typing. It's unlikely v4 will support 8.2 as it'd need roughly the same amount of work.

Facebook/Twitter still display the "default" share image instead of the og:image:url image.

I had made an adjustment for the next beta.
Thanks!

☀️ Welcome to this week's Invision Community Insight! ☀️ 
Thank you for checking out this weekly round up post. I hope you have had a lovely week! This tends to be a personal busy time for many as we celebrate the longer days, warmer weather, graduations and vacations. Are you celebrating any of those? I enjoy this time of year! My calendar is quite full and my to-do lists are plentiful! Today, I'll celebrate a 4-year old's preschool graduation, get ready for her birthday party tomorrow and prep and look forward to a beach trip next week! 🎓🎂 🦀  🌊 🏖️ I would love to hear what you are up to. Perhaps you are embracing and enjoying busyness too. 🙂

This is all possible with the new Courses application. How are you hoping to use this feature? Check out our latest blog post for the details:

Our June release of Invision Community introduces several new improvements for your community to increase privacy controls and consent of personally identifiable information.
In today's digital age, privacy and the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) have become increasingly important. By incorporating improved privacy and PII data features into Invision Community, we are creating a more secure and inclusive environment within your community. In this blog post, we will take a quick look at what PII is, and the new features Invision Community has to improve privacy within your community.
What is PII?
PII, or personally identifiable information, refers to any data that can be used to identify, contact, or locate an individual member. When users sign up and visit your community, they may provide various types of PII, either voluntarily or as required by the platform's registration process. For example, an email address is required to complete the registration, and in some cases and IP address may be logged to authenticate a session, or to provide some context to the person posting content. 
Invision Community introduced new data control tools in a previous release, so let's take a look at the improvements coming in our June release that improves cookie management, IP address management, PII data requests, and the right to be forgotten.
PII Data Request and Right to be Forgotten
Your members now have the ability to request their Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data directly from their account settings page. Upon submitting a request, administrators will receive a notification alerting them to the new inquiry, where they can choose to either approve or deny it.
If approved, the member will be notified and provided information on how to download their requested data.

 
Additionally, members now have the option to request account deletion. After submitting this request, they will receive a confirmation email to verify their intent. Once confirmed, the request is forwarded to administrators, who can then decide whether to approve or reject the account deletion.

IP Address Management
Invision Community has had tools to prune IP addresses within a timeframe for a while, but we have conducted a thorough evaluation of the data framework in Invision Community to ensure that all recorded IP addresses are systematically purged according to the designated timeframe.
Cookie Management
Empowering members to control which cookies are stored is an important aspect of fostering trust and security within an online community. By granting users the autonomy to manage cookie preferences, you demonstrate a commitment to respecting their privacy and protecting their personal data. This level of transparency not only helps build a strong sense of trust between the community and its members but also helps with compliance, ultimately contributing to a more engaging and responsible user experience.
The Invision Community cookie consent page has been revamped and now displays a list of essential cookies. Visitors have the option to opt out of non-essential cookies for a more customized browsing experience.

Additionally, we've introduced a new feature that allows for the inclusion of an optional third-party Cookie Description on the cookie consent page, further enhancing transparency and user control.

We trust that these enhancements to privacy and data collection practices will simplify compliance with various regulations and, most importantly, ensure that your community members feel secure and well-protected while engaging with your platform.
The features and changes presented here are available in the following packages:
Beginner Creator Creator Pro Team Business Enterprise These features are also available in the Invision Community Classic (self-hosted) product.
If you do not see your product or package listed, please contact us to talk about upgrading your Invision Community.

Happy Easter.

I pay about 150 euros a year for hosting in Europe. Here is the cloud lowest package $50 per month. Which results in $600. The cost of maintaining the forum is not profitable in my case, because I run it as a hobby without profits.
