Any reason why this is in place? I'm aware that my member group is likely to change to 'Friends' at some point today, but it's still 'Clients' at the time of writing this, so what's changed?

Same story, again. This is getting beyond frustrating. 


 

Thanks to Support for dealing with this issue. As a bit of a digital dunce I can’t help but wonder exactly what happened? Anyhow, everything seems to be back to normal on my Board. I’m sure the Support team understands Board owners/admins and moderators frustration when they go down. These Discussion Forums/Suites etc are very important to the owners and as much if not more so to the Members. Mine was launched in 2002. And I still have charter Members who have been active for 22 years. Many freak out when they can’t get on Board.

It is scary, we had the exact same thing. During the NFL Draft on an NFL fan site. Very frustrating we never had problems on classic hosting. Now we are paying much more and it seems like there are always problems on big traffic days.

We run a site that is NFL related and I have so many people telling me they couldn't access it yesterday during the NFL draft. This is our biggest day(s) of the year. I noticed the forums were offline this morning. I saw another thread and cleared my cache. But I had people reaching out saying they couldn't get in.

Two questions:
1. Is whatever issue it was, fixed?
2. Can everyone get on now without clearing cache? 

Our posts counts were much lower than expected yesterday, this is very disappointing. We didn't have problems like this when we were self hosted.

Oh, you're online.
You was offline since longtime IPS.
I'm thinking speedly "They must upgrade the forum IC5 beta" but i see, "non"

I am writing from mobile. Your community invisioncommunity.com is not accessable from my desktop chrome right now. The same error, redirecting to admin/install. 
No issues with incognito mode. 

Yikes. Thought same thing. Those Members experiencing the blank screen/redirected URL have no way of reading how to fix this. I can’t see trying to email 100’s if not 1000’s of Members…

My site is very slow right now, it takes about 10 seconds after I click on a topic name to see the topic. Clicking the notification bell doesn't display notifications. I see the progress wheel turn and nothing. 

It does indeed 😉 

Take a look at the following:

I've fixed here recently a bug for the next release.. I'll take a look @Grafidea just to confirm that it's the same and not something else.

I know it'll support 8.2 but how about PhP 8.3?
 

Patch 2 problem solved

Patch 2 problem solved

This is likely related to an issue we have currently with combined fluid view, which we will be patching once we have a fix for it. If you still see the issue after we release a patch, please let us know

Hi, after updating to 4.7.16, my Topic Feed stopped displaying. It's only visible when I disable the option: 'Honor permissions?.'
If the 'Honor permissions' function is enabled, the Topic Feed does not display, but when I disable this option, it does display. Previously, it displayed without any issue, but after updating to 4.7.16, this error occurred.

 

Is there any approximate release date for version v5 yet?

Welcome to Invision Community 5!
Over the coming weeks, we'll be exploring a bunch of new features and improvements coming to our user interface including our brand new theme editor, a new mobile UI, dark mode and performance improvements thanks to a reduction in both JavaScript and CSS. To kick off this series, let’s take a closer look at the new sidebar layout and new view modes for the forum index and topic pages.
Sidebar Layout
Traditionally, Invision Community has shipped with a horizontal header and navigation bar at the top of the page, which is still available in version 5. We're introducing a brand new (and optional) sidebar layout, which can be enabled or disabled easily from within your theme settings. The sidebar not only provides convenient access to your applications, activity streams and search bar, but you can now add links to nodes for even easier access to popular or commonly used areas of your community. For example - a category from your forum, an album from the Gallery, or a product group from Commerce.

Forum Index: Feed view
One of our goals for version 5 was to re-imagine new ways for your visitors to consume content, and the sidebar layout is just one of our solutions. Table view has been the typical way of displaying forums, providing visitors with a simple summary of the most recently active topic. Grid mode introduced cover photos to forums and is a great way to make your page more visually engaging, while fluid view allows visitors to filter through a list of topics to easily focus on multiple areas of the community.
Joining these view modes in version 5 is our new Feed view. Optional cover photos and featured forum colours allow you to personalise each forum, and a list of recently active topics with snippets of the most recent reply allow you to easily see what each forum is focusing on at a glance. The topic list drops below the cover photo and converts to a scrollable list on small devices. It's our fresh take on content display, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback!

 
Topic pages: Compact view
In addition, Invision Community 5 also introduces a new, compact layout option for topics. We wanted to create a layout which placed focus on your content while still keeping all of the authors profile information easily accessible within a mini profile. Stats, rank, badges, reputation points and more can be found by tapping the icon at the top of every post. The mini profile strip has also been added to other areas of the software too, such as comments and reviews in applications like Gallery and Blogs, and will appear on the mobile layout when the traditional "table view" is used in topics.
Switching between the new compact view and the author sidebar view takes just seconds giving you complete control over your community.

As part of this view, you also have the choice to feature/pin the original post to the top of every page, making it a breeze for your visitors to easily understand the context of replies without navigating back to page 1. Pinned posts have a slightly larger font-size to distinguish them from replies, and we've thoughtfully truncated them on pages beyond the first to keep scrolling to a minimum.

 
The new sidebar layout and view modes offer a fresh and innovative approach to navigating and interacting with your community. We’re really keen to hear your thoughts on these new views and whether you’ll be unleashing them on your own sites! We appreciate that no two sites are the same, and those who are a fan of the classic header look will benefit from quick styling tools and a visual way to re-arrange the header elements which we’ll cover in a later blog.
We’re looking forward to showcasing a whole bunch of new features over the coming weeks - so stay tuned, and we’ll see you then!

Hi! It would be nice if the V5 version supported the graphic format - SVG everywhere. It's a vector format that looks good virtually anywhere and doesn't lose quality! Currently, it is missing from logos, custom forum icons, favicon and many other places. It's about handling .svg graphics as well as svg code.
