It's rumored the re-branding encompasses Facebook's 'metaverse,' a mission to combine virtual and augmented reality technologies into one unified online world. It is believed Facebook will hire 10,000 new employees for this endeavor. We might know more information on the new name come Oct. 28 – the date of Facebook's annual Connect conference – CEO Mark Zuckerberg is expected to sp…

Happy Hump Day, team! Dayum, is it just me or are the weeks flying by? It's probably because we're hard at work on a lot of exciting projects, including our website refresh (out sooner than later, stay tuned!), improvements to Spam defense, Achievements refinements and more. If you haven't already, follow us on Twitter and shoot us a Tweet. Shout-out to @Jimi Wikman for his post about a tickets system using Pages. Internally, we're brainstorming new ideas for the future of Pages. It's down the road, but we'd like to up our game. The more ideas you all have and share... the better! As always, here's a roundup of the latest update…

Happy Hump Day, team! In September, we're launching our refreshed website. You're going to love it! (Hopefully) it will inspire others to start their community building journey with us. We are working on our new homepage right now, and one thing we're discussing as a team is Invision Community's mission statement. Per Forbes, a great mission statement answers: What do we do? How do we do it? Whom do we do it for? What value are we bringing? If you visit our current homepage, you will see this: Successful Communities Start Here We help businesses and brands of all sizes increase customer loyalty, reduce support costs and dri…

Happy Hump Day, fam. Today's a big day (I know I always say that every Hump Day but... ) *Says in a whisper* We've officially soft launched 4.6 🤫 🎉 It's a soft launch because, well, you know how things can go 🔥.

Another fine Hump Day, folks! Hope you're having a great week. Yesterday, we announced 4.6.0 Beta 1. We've already added a few updates/fixes, and in less than a day we rolled out 4.6.0 Beta 1.1 (which is now available for download! Per the sound advice of @Nathan Explosion, I'd like to remind you that this is a Beta; please make a backup of your community and all its data before updating). I want to give @Pavel Chernitsky a shout-out for saying this in the announcement post: The team worked really hard on this release, so that is greatly appreciated! 🥲 Last week when I shared that precious photo of @Charles and I working together in Vegas on our…

Since soft launching 4.6 last week, we've been busy implementing a ton of fixes, updates and... changes. We're always looking to improve things, so if you've discovered anything buggy, or just want to share a comment / concern, please feel free to share with us so we can optimize. There are more changes to come, too! We're working on a website refresh at the moment. The current design and content is great! We're building upon that and re-thinking some of the wording and visuals. It's going to be extra spicy 🔥 Going to keep my Hump Day jargon to a minimum (no promises next week 😏). Check out the huge …

Happy Hump Day, fam! Before we dive into the goodness, I just want to say thank you for being a part of Invision Community. It's been really fun to see community members and the IC team become even more unified as we've rolled out 4.6. 🥲 Speaking of...(!!!) 4.6 Beta 2 is now live! 🎉 It's worth reminding you this is the third Beta version (it follows Beta 1 and Beta 1.1).
