Creating a table
Hi @Paras, There is no table function yet, but it is on the cards to be implemented closer to the release of v5. It has been mentioned before by another member.

Which data storage is better? And why?
Hi @403 - Forbiddeen, There is a description in the AdminCP -> System -> Settings -> Advanced Configuration -> Data Storage that provides an answer to your question. "The data storage method is used by various systems to save arbitrary data. If caching is enabled, using the MySQL Database provides the best performance for most environments, otherwise using the File System is usually best." I use the File System on my community as I don't have a caching method enabled. There is a help guide you can read through to provide more detail in data storage configurations.

Can I move my community into 5?
Gary replied to Manuel Molina's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionHi @Manuel Molina, I launched my community on the very first beta of v5 after converting from 4.7.x (I can't remember exactly which version I upgraded from). Despite running into a few minor issues that didn't render my community inaccessible, it has since worked flawlessly. There are definitely instances where people have upgraded and ran into some more serious issues though. Are you relaunching an already established community (as in, you currently have a lot of members, topics, posts, articles, pages, etc), or will you be launching a brand-new community? If the latter, then there is less risk (not no risk), but there is always a chance something can break with beta versions of software as Marc has outlined. At the very least, BACK UP your existing community files and database/s in case you run into any issues and perhaps test the upgrade to v5 on a test install first. The last thing you would want to do is lose content. There is no undo or back button when upgrading Invision Community.

Gravatar images on profiles
Hi @Milly Mikkelsen, If you want to give your community that extra customised look, you could always upload your own stock image to be displayed as the default profile photo/avatar. Just go to your AdminCP -> Members -> Member Settings -> Profiles -> Default Profile Photos and toggle 'Use the theme's default profile photo'.

IPS 4.7.19 ❓
Hi @bosss, It has been mentioned that v4 will still be supported even after v5 has been released. For how long, I don't know. Is there a specific reason you are asking?

Upgrade Fail - IPS 4.7.19 to 5.0.0 Beta 7
Gary replied to 403 - Forbiddeen's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionThat shouldn't cause issues considering you've created a new theme and made it your default one. You may have to wait for someone from the team to assist you that has more technical knowledge than I have. 😅 There have been others I have assisted with similar issues and the steps I gave worked.

Upgrade Fail - IPS 4.7.19 to 5.0.0 Beta 7
Gary replied to 403 - Forbiddeen's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionCan you please take a screenshot of the Themes page within your AdminCP? I just want to make sure you have set the default theme correctly. Have you also tried clearing your system cache just in case? You can do it by going to AdminCP -> System -> Support -> Get Support -> Click 'Clear System Caches' under Tools & Diagnostics.

Upgrade Fail - IPS 4.7.19 to 5.0.0 Beta 7
Gary replied to 403 - Forbiddeen's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionMake sure you set it as your default theme on the same page in the AdminCP. You might have to click the small down arrow button and click 'Set As Members' Theme'.

Gary replied to 403 - Forbiddeen's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionHi @403 - Forbiddeen, You just have to create a new theme which will be the default one that is used. AdminCP -> Customization -> Appearance -> Themes -> Click the '+ Create New' button.

We're in heaven with Beta 7!
Safe to assume that won't happen. The bug tracker still contains some items that need addressing, not to mention the downtime over the Christmas and New Year period. I would aim for a Q1 2025 release at the very earliest.

Improved search ?
No problem at all. 👌

Improved search ?
Hi @Paras, The search terms are slightly different when comparing to the XenForo search. Invision Community gives you more power behind your searches. Have you tried clicking 'The phrase "create a table"' or even 'create AND a AND table' to see if there are more favourable search results for you?

Significant layout/CSS?/admin panel errors after v4.7.19 update
I was literally going to suggest this! Glad it's all working for you again.

Missing features in version 5
I think your post, @Matt, needs to be featured, bold, highlighted, underlined, pinned and made a permanent announcement (at least until v6). If there was a love reaction, I'd be hitting it! Despite the minority, the majority are behind you and support you and the rest of the Invision Community team. Hard decisions need to be made sometimes and standing by your decisions shows true character and just how much the software means to you all. You simply cannot please everyone. However unfortunate that may be, it's reality.

Spoilers
I can't believe I didn't think of zooming in on it... I've been unnecessarily dwelling on it for ages wondering what the heck it is! 🤣

How download default language and theme?
Great! Glad to have helped you out. 👌

How download default language and theme?
Did you make the new language you want to use the default? You have to click the down arrow next to it and then 'Set As Members' Language' on it before you can delete 'English Default'.
-
How download default language and theme?
Of course you can! Firstly, make sure you are using the default language on your community by clicking the down arrow and then 'Set As Members' Language'. This will change the default language you want to use and toggle it from 'Enabled' to 'Locked'. Then all you have to do is click the down arrow of the languages you no longer want, then click 'Delete'.
