Test Area.

Developer Tools are available in 5.0.0 Beta 1. 👌

I was just about to link to that topic too. 😉

Maybe it has been released, but there has been no announcement about it. 🥷

I couldn’t agree more, @David.. Plugins and apps do have a place (obviously, otherwise there wouldn’t be a market for them), it is generally based on the community. There is no right or wrong answer, but whether there is a need or want to warrant having them. I just find it too difficult to stay up to date with every release of the software and opening myself up to potential issues when attempting to upgrade. Keep it clean, keep it simple. 😇

Sorry @Kirill, but I’ll agree to disagree. I’m part of many communities/forums that have no plugins or apps whatsoever. They are extremely successful, and have been for many years. I think it all comes down to what your community is for. I’ll let you know once my community is officially released to see how it goes in the next couple of years plugin-free. For the record, I’m not against plugins and apps. I can see how useful they are for community managers, I just don’t have a need or use for them for my own communities.

Could be related. I am using the default view (Change layout views is set to no in my Content Preferences).

I knew that would be too simple of a question. 😇 It does work for me. I use an iPhone 13 Pro Max on iOS 18.0.1. It obviously works on my desktop as well.

The forum name is at the top of the page, Invision Community. When there is no logo there, it would be written in text, much like any other Invision Community installation.

Just for you Matt. Meet Aspen, my Japanese Spitz. 🥰

I did just read this topic though. Keep an eye out for someone from the team to confirm. Will PHP 8.3 be supported for v5 beta? - Feedback - Invision Community 5 (invisionalpha5.com)

So good! Well done to the whole team as usual; you have all made history for Invision Community! 🥳 I’ll be upgrading on my live site as it is still a fresh community and there isn’t a lot of data by way of topics, posts, attachments, members, etc. It should be a smooth upgrade and can only help iron out any issues during the v4 → v5 upgrade process. I always run a vanilla installation without plugins or full on customisation too which mitigates the majority of issues that can come up.

I’m not sure on the particulars, but it has been stated on Invision Community that it will be newer versions of PHP. 🙂

There’s nothing wrong with that at all. You simply must choose what best suits you and your community. What is your community based around? PHP 8.1 is currently supported. I’m using PHP 8.2.23 on my community and apart from the notification recommending I downgrade in the AdminCP, I have experienced zero issues. I don’t heavily modify and do not use plugins or apps (personal preference and streamlines the experience especially when upgrading). Version 5 will work with more recent versions of PHP too. What other questions do you have and I’m sure the community can answer them. I don’t want you to question your decision by using XenForo; I’ve used them before as well in the early days. I just want to squash any myths that you may have read or heard about Invision Community.

Haha, you don’t have to believe me. The product speaks for itself! The team have been hard at work making sure it’s as good as it can be.

The wait is definitely gonna be worth it! 🥳

I see the same, hence my black hole clip. 😇

Or perhaps only show the icon if previous display names exist. 👌

So close!

In all the years I’ve used forum software, I can pretty much count on one hand how many plugins I’ve ever installed or actually used. It all comes down to what sort of community you want to create as some may need more than just the software out-of-the-box. The Marketplace may be deprecated, but there are still communities out there acting as a library for Invision Community plugins.

Invision Community 5 is not available for public release yet, but you can test the frontend right here on this community. There is a Test Area where members are giving posting a go, you can try it yourself too. Once a release is available the Team will let us all know.
