Rutabaga Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Do you plan to introduce a version of the Deflection theme for Invision version 5 (cloud)? R
Solution Ehren Posted March 29 Solution Posted March 29 Hi @Rutabaga Yep, Deflection is currently on my todo list
Rutabaga Posted March 29 Author Posted March 29 Do you anticipate having it ready before the mandatory changeover on October 1? Will you notify current version 4 users of the new theme being available? R
Ehren Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I don't have any specific ETAs for themes since they may be developed in a random order, but yes, unless there is a significant hold up for some reason, it'll be ready by October Theme announcements are always posted in the News category, so feel free to follow it to stay notified
kobayashi90 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 This does mean Deflection will be also ready for non-cloud users, right?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think there is a difference in theme files for IC Cloud customers and self hosted customers. They both install the same way. It's just certain features of Invision Community are only available to IC Cloud customers. 1

Rutabaga Posted July 20 Author Posted July 20 Still awaiting news of a Deflection theme upgrade for Invision 5. Any progress? R
Ehren Posted July 20 Posted July 20 I’ve made progress on Titan but am working on multiple themes simultaneously between v5 software updates. I’ll hopefully have time this week to actually start releasing some. I know it’s been a lengthy process so far, apologies for that! 2

Thank you so much for your efforts @Ehren We've loved and enjoyed your Titan theme for almost 8 years now. Wow! Time flies. Take your time. Looking forward to the new v5 experience and continued patronage with you. 2

Ehren Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I can confirm I've actually made progress last week and today, I just haven't finished yet. Soon 1

kobayashi90 Posted August 18 Posted August 18 Waiting on Deflection.. still stuck on IPSv4 because of that..
Rutabaga Posted September 2 Author Posted September 2 Invision Power Services just reaffirmed that they intend to force all Generation 4 users onto the Generation 5 platform as of October 1, 2025. Anyone who has not moved will go dark. We really need the Deflection theme. I am hoping our forum can make the change over the weekend of September 27-28. Please let me know if Deflection for Gen 5 will be available by then, or whether I need to find a new theme. Thanks, R R
Ehren Posted September 2 Posted September 2 Hello, That information isn't correct. There are no plans for Invision to force customers to upgrade to v5 on October 1 Quote No, is not a force to five. Anyone on Standard 25 or Plus 40 needs to upgrade to the newer packages. They don't have to switch to 5. They can change their package to a new one, and remain on 4 until they're ready to upgrade to 5.
