Spoiler alert: we have some pretty exciting things in the works! Olivia is helping us channel our creative energies into effective workflows. Seeee? Speaking of projects, have you had a chance to check out our website refresh? I'd love to point you in the right direction 😏 namely our Innovate section. It's beautiful 🥲 . Cu…

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, team! In case you missed it, we have a bumpin' topic asking for feedback/ideas regarding Achievements - we'd like to implement a few "quick wins" based off of your suggestions, so if you haven't already please check out that topic and submit a reply. It'd be greatly appreciated! We also have a topic on the way regarding Spam Improvements - ideas you think would benefit the platform. Hold off on sharing those in this topic please - for now just think about it - that topic will drop on Friday so get ready Because it's a new month, I wanted to focus this post on goal-setting. I know, I know, it's corny, but setting goals is imperative for comm…

Hey team, it's that time of the week again 🤯 I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight a few new topics created by you all that have been a lot of fun to read and think about while I do the dishes.

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 🔥. However, we're pretty darn satisfied with this rollout. Possibly The best ever. A more formal announcement will arrive in the near future. Right now, 4.6 is available for those on Cloud or those who've tested out our several Beta releases. In case there's a glitch in the matrix, please make a backup of your community before upgrading. If you need a refresher, @Matt laid out what is new in 4.6 in our latest blog post. Speaking of,…

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 …

We've officially launched 4.6 Beta 3! 🎉 It's available for download or per request if you're on Cloud. We're pretty confident things will be stable, but don't take our word for it; please make backups before updating. The official release will make its red carpet debut in the very near future. What's changed from Beta 2 to Beta 3? @Matt passed along these changes (see below). It's worth mentioning these updates are our new team members, @Christopher Pei and @Marshall Slemp, first bug fixes. 👏 …

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). We collected a roundup of changes needed and spent the last week implementing updates. Not only did @Matt write an epic blog post about what you can expect to see in 4.6, he also relayed this list of fixes 🤯 Added a no search results message when searching Pixabay and Giphy.…

Hey team, I’d love for you to give a warm welcome to Invision Community’s new developer, @Matt Finger You want some sweet sweet Achievements addons? Then be extra nice to him 😉 So you can get to know Matt F better, I held a mini-interview with the 20-year-old developing prodigy. I said what I said. When he’s not coding, he’s cooking, fixing things (like cars, bikes, electronics, etc) and reading up on science, physics and philosophy. After asking him about his hobbies, I cut to the chase and asked him about his passion for coding and a few of his past experiences with it. He flexed his knowledge of philosophy right away. 🤯🤯🤯 He continu…

Happy Hump Day, fam! Been receiving a lot of messages about 4.6 and Achievements. We're near the finish line (I know that's annoying to hear but we're close!). Why the wait? We absorbed a ton of useful feedback from you and are implementing it 👏 Achievements is turning out even more epic than what we launched here a few weeks ago 😭. It'll be worth the wait (again, annoying I know, but sit tight). Our talented team of Code Yodas™ (aka our developers) implemented some cool additions that'll make their red carpet debut in 4.6. 📸 The ones we're highlighting today are the improved appearance of Notifications Settings and Top Files reporting in the ACP. Sh…

HAPPY Hump Day! A lot has gone down in the last week or two. In case you need a little refresher, we recently soft-launched Achievements. It'll be available for all in the coming weeks, but for now you can get a taste of it here in our own community. The response has been insanely epic 👏 The feedback even more so 🤯 I personally took notes of all the feedback provided. We've already started implementing some key changes (shout-out to our super talented development team!! Show them some love in the comments), including: Explanation for how you earned a badge Current position / max number of ranks shown so you know how far you have to go …
