Jordan Miller Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Happy Hump Day, team! Wanted to share something extra special with you. We launched an Invision Community swag store! We'll periodically add new items here, including exclusive designs. For now, we started with items repping our logo. 😎 Our team had first dibs and, not going to lie, we're all looking pretty darn spiffy. People still say spiffy, right? Anyway... we'd be honored if you wanted to rock Invision Community offline. If not, totally cool, too! Our shop does ship internationally by the way. 😊 Check out all the items by clicking the link: shop.invisioncommunity.com You're going to look so good! While I've got you, feast your eyes on the latest round of updates/changes to the platform in the last week (btw, I hope you've updated to our latest release, 4.6.11!). Quote - Fixed an issue where attempting to purchase a product that isn't allowed for the member, didn't show an error message when signing in during checkout. - Fixed the broken "achievements to show" widget setting. - Added additional logging when disabling third party items via the support tool. - Fixed an issue where passwords from WPForo may not work following a conversion. - YouTube embeds will now load from the youtube-nocookie.com domain. - Fixed an issue where deleting an item would return an error when the item had no valid URL. Feel free to post any comments/questions/requests about the swag store here and we'll get back to ya! TAMAN and bosss 2

Sonya* Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Disappointed that the store was not built with Commerce.... Why do you guys not use your own products? Support with Commerce is ceased, now brand shop with Shopify. What next? Moving community blog to WordPress? Gallery to Instagram? Clubs to Facebook groups and Calendar to Google? Then "just" connect everything with Zapier. SerialNoob, Ramsesx, leonovich_J and 9 others 4 8

Ramsesx Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Yeah, my dreams finally come true I'm waiting so long for Invision SOCKS Xaviours and jaeitee 2
Ramsesx Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Let me guess, the new features are Zapier connected socks and shirts. That's a revolution in forum software technology. Great job guys. kmk and IveLeft... 2
Square Wheels Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Not trying to be negative, just how I feel. As others above have said, aside from things like Zapier that you almost never her members talk about, what new features have we seen? I only update my support because I'm still waiting on a bug fix I reported a long time ago. Instead of meaningful updates, we get mostly bug fixes, and a new store, not using your software. I don't think there will be many purchases of an IPS hoodie, but I could be wrong. OptimusBain, IveLeft... and kmk 2 1

We wanted to use something that could handle the fulfillment process since we are hard at work on new features rolling out this year. 😊 I think more than ever sites are looking at any means they can to help monetize their sites as expenses to run their sites keep increasing. <Here's looking at you IPS> Are any "new features" in the pipeline this year likely to appreciably help us to further monetize our sites? We can't effectively compete against Social Media companies by "trying" to replicate their feature set so why are we chasing down that path? A conversation we should be having is what unique features could we collectively come up with to entice people to spend their precious time on our sites and cover our expenses more readily and maybe make a few dollars for ourselves. 💰 IveLeft... and kmk 2

Now IPS is focused on selling t-shirts instead of listening to it's clients @Jordan Miller . You are wasting your resources on selling a bunch of t shirts instead of listening to your clients, those who pay you every year to get your support. This is the last thing I expected to see 😞 IPS is a software developer, not a apparel store.

Jordan, why don't you say what you have in store for your clients instead of playing a quizz game about what we think you might be working on? I know you want engagement, but if you read many of your client's posts, there is a lot of people out there that think IPS is not listening to them, myself included. I would recommend that you were clear and transparent about what new features you are working on. It won't help engaging members, but it will make many of us Happy because we will know what you are working besides working on a shop to sell t-shirts and not using the Commerce module.

What they're doing well by focusing on their core competencies rather than trying to do in-house embroidery and order fulfillment of apparel? 6 minutes ago, OptimusBain said: Now IPS is focused on selling t-shirts instead of listening to it's clients @Jordan Miller .

Some of y'all are just looking for rocks to throw at people, and in absence of rocks will try to hurl an embroidered hoodie at them instead. Do better. Matt, Jordan Miller and Charles 3

That's a weird statement to make considering he posted a link. It is not like his 9-5 job is now revolving around t-shirt sales. As much as I'd love to have a "Director, T-Shirt Sales" in the company, we're not quite big enough for that yet. Because we opened a store, it does not mean that we no longer have capacity to serve customers. That's bizarre thinking. Invision Community developers have had nothing to do with a store, so rest assured, they also are not full time "t-shirt sales executives". We haven't pivoted into apparel. We just opened a store. We chose to not use commerce because we wanted to use a service that can take orders, issue invoices, take payments AND fulfil the orders without any of us having to do a thing. If we did use commerce, then our developers would have needed a few months to write new features and APIs, and Jordan will, ironically, be a full time t-shirt executive as he'd be picking, packing and posting. Which everyone states they don't want us to do. 🙂 It's really quite normal to have a marketing and sales department. It's not like when Pepsi needs a new advert creating they have to close the factory and re-assign factory staff to do it. Also please PLEASE stop singling out Jordan for criticism just because he is the one that posts here. If you have criticism, then please direct it at me.

Management Charles Posted March 10, 2022 Management Posted March 10, 2022 Now that I have my polo we could technically close the store. Marc, Mark H and Jim M 3
