I’ve worked in dealerships for a number of years, haha. Leather does have a scent, but if you want to be particular, I said you could “almost smell the fresh leather seats”. 😉

I cannot reproduce this on my instance of Beta 5. 🤔

Every time I upgrade Invision Community, it feels like that brand new car feeling! I can almost smell the fresh leather seats! Upgraded to Beta 5...

You actually made me laugh out loud 🤣 Lucky, I had just sipped my coffee. It's 9:27 am here!

Hi @FeigelInc, To answer your second question, I would suggest reading through the following topic announcing the new editor. There has been some discussion in the topic about the removal of HTML in posts too.

Today is Tuesday here in Australia. I can share that Beta 5 is not out yet here in the southern hemisphere, GMT +11 hours. 😇

You had me at Vaseline... 🤣

If you are simply upgrading an existing community, then disabling the apps/plugins from within the AdminCP of your community should be enough for v5 to work. You will have to make sure the developers of those apps/plugins have updated them to work on v5 before enabling them again, otherwise you will receive a lot of errors and potentially a malfunctioning community.

Hi @kmk, Plugins and apps will not work unless the developer has updated them to work on v5. If your community is using numerous plugins/apps, I would suggest getting in touch with the developer before upgrading. Preparation is key and will avoid any issues during the process.

Looking good mate! Well done. And thanks again to you, @Jimi Wikman. That video was a great watch! 👌

Please make sure you are taking backups throughout this process.

In this day and age, I think you would find a very small number of members (if any at all) simply forgetting their email addresses. Especially if their savvy enough to be using forum software and navigating through your community. If members have forgotten their email addresses after some time since last visiting your community, then they can follow the prompts for forgetting their password and type in email addresses until one is recognised. If all else fails, they can contact you, use a forum/topic that you have specifically enabled for guests or you could simply create one to assist with the transition. Display names definitely suit a purpose but do create an instant vulnerability as display names are available to anyone. The less information you offer on a silver platter, the better. Your members will adapt and it will be business as usual.

I'm trying to find a format that is extremely user-friendly and minimalist for a page on my community too. With the amount of information I have right now, I think it works as a standalone page with headings but as more gets added it will need better organisation. It's coming along well! I'll be keeping an eye on how things progress. I have an idea that this layout would definitely suit! 😇

Looking good Jimi! 💼

I was going to reference that blog post too, @All Astronauts. Oh, the nostalgia! That's where my love for forums and Invision Community (then IB/IPB) started! 🥰 Best thing about v5 is that those days will get better and will continue for many years to come!

I have just upgraded to Beta 4! 🥳 And I noticed the blank images issue has been fixed! Double 🥳🥳! https://www.japanesespitz.au/ Still a work in progress, and very vanilla (just how I like it). I will be playing around with colours in the next week or so.

Hi @Baian007, Does this guide on Invision Community help you out? You can cater it to a variety of uses, including a documentation database.

Haha, they are definitely cute! 🐾 Thank you again.

Thanks for that! I'll give it a run when I'm on my PC in the morning. I want to organise this page on my community a bit better and make it more visually appealing.

Thank you very much for sharing, @Chris59. I've been meaning to do something like this on my community, not so much with release notes or a bug tracker, but more to organise my content into a table of contents of sorts. I'll have to do some experimenting. 🤓
