Popular Post Jordan Miller Posted August 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2022 Happy Hump Day, team! Sort of. 😔 One of Invision Community's founding fathers, @Rikki, is amicably moving on from Invision Community to pursue another exciting opportunity. This is his last week with us. He has a few parting words to share with you: Quote After more than 20 years, this is my final full week with IPS. To say I’m sad to be leaving is an understatement. I’m not really sure how to summarize over 20 years of my life in an email. Practically every experience, every memory I have of my life in the last 20 years has been related to IPS in some way, even if only tangentially. This has never just been a job; it has been my life. My social life and friendships, my experiences, my interests, my lifestyle, even my country of residence all stem from IPS and the opportunities it has given me. I’m so immensely thankful for all of that. I will miss working on IPS4 a lot, but I’ll especially miss being part of this community. I’ve always looked forward work, not least because of the people I got to work with along the way. I hope I can still be involved in IPS’s future in some way, because it has been my pride and joy for such a long time. I’m so proud to have played a part in IPS’s success. Rikki has been an instrumental player in Invision Community's success; we're bummed to see him go, but at the same time excited for him to spread his wings. Please leave some well wishes for Rikki in the comments! --- Speaking of the team, @Matt Finger wrote a new dev blog post touching on the PHP8 Compatibility Scanner, our Pre-Upgrade Resource Checker and a full change log for our upcoming September release: --- And last but not least, 4.7.2 Beta 1 is officially out. Check out the release notes here. See you in the replies. 🙏 My Sharona, abobader, Matt Finger and 18 others 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyc Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 A huge thanks to @Rikki for everything he has done to help bring IPS to where it stands now. It's always sad to lose a valuable member of the development team, but the man has to go where he believes he can do the most with his talents and to secure his and his family's future. All good wishes and a fond farewell to this amazing talent. Bon Voyage 🙂 Jordan Miller, Markus Jung, Rikki and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirill Gromov Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 It's sad to read such news. The design of the IPS was an inspiration for me and an example of a user-friendly interface in modern times, which was directly developed by Rikki! You are a Talent with a capital letter! Well done!
