Welcome to Beta.. uh.. Alpha 15!

We were planning on Beta 1 this week, but we’re working on a few branches that aren’t quite ready, including a lovely optimisation branch to make sure v5 is ready to go but there were a few bugs that were being reported multiple times, including weird Chrome/Edge bugs so, welcome to Alpha 15!

Out now in all good stores CloudLand®

I wonder 🤔 if alpha 16 is coming?

I'm only wondering because I've never seen a platform of this type have so many alphas in my life, just for that reason. It goes without saying that it is not a criticism, and if you take it as criticism, make it constructive.

On my laptop chrome I get this error, this was already happening with alpha 14

The lack of Undo button costed me a good long post here where I talked about my motivation and experience here, as a tester, about IPS, XF, some required addons, wanted features. Pleeease add this button :)

Anyway, everything looks great, I like your team, it is very nice to be able to talk to you like this (not a client yet, so have no rights on the main community, but this ability to talk adds to my decision what software to choose) and I am waiting for Beta.

i guess i came late to the party

I don’t think so

It should become an adult before it can go out to the dangerous world.

Welcome to Alpha 16 🤪

It is already more than 1 year under the development. It should have been more than an adult by this time, according to software years )

Not until Alpha 16 is released, buddy.

At this point, everything doesn't matter.

Don't forget, time is only a delay in what is to come.

The wait is definitely gonna be worth it! 🥳

If you say it, I'll believe you

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.

Well, we'll see if expectations for the future can convince me

My life is not about this, or being able to have something better. Two years ago Xenforo convinced me and I stayed there. The support is not bad, the resources are not bad either, hey, I use what I need, but that whole set has convinced me. I would like Invision to convince me, but the way it is going, I don't think so. In fact, I think that a long time ago I should have launched at least a beta to know how it gets along with PHP and others.

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.
