For the past month or so, we've been working with a small number of alpha testers to get some initial feedback and to fine-tune some of the new features.

We are now ready for more feedback, so today, we take the next step in testing!

We've opened up a new Invision Community 5 preview site for everyone to use, find bugs and offer feedback. The new preview site has a feedback area and a bug report area, so please use those areas on the preview site, rather than post your thoughts here.

👉 https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/

There are two themes currently available. The first is the more 'classic' look that you will find instantly familiar. The second theme has the newer views enabled, such as the sidebar and feed mode for forums. You are welcome to switch between the two, and you can also change the layout options via your account settings. All this information is contained in the welcome topic over there.

Have fun, and please let us know what you think!

 

Should we let you know on the Alpha site or here on the production site?

Can we add this link as a main navigation menu item? 

Let us know any bugs if feedback on the alpha site please.

Why? 🤔

Cohesiveness. Either a navigation link or a redirect forum in the index - yea yea I bookmarked it already just helps when my caffeine levels wain. 

can we log in using our invision community credentials? Mine don't seem to work.

Unfortunately not. It’s a brand new site. 

Impressive if this is stock/out of the box in terms of pagespeed. Homepage: https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/

 

 

Topic page needs some optimization: https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/topic/2-welcome-to-the-invision-community-alpha-preview-site/

 

Not too shabby. Are JS and CSS being combined?

Is Clubs still in development or will it be eliminated for V5?

Please post about the alpha preview on the alpha preview site. Thanks!

My most anticipated feature is the built-in dark mode... I love to see that it's easily controllable via the data-ips-scheme="dark" attribute on the HTML tag. It's super easy to manage with JS, ensuring a consistent dark mode across IPS and my WordPress website.

Does the new version's theme system still allow us to include external files? I use this on my theme to include my website's header: {insert="../wp_header.html"}, will this still work?

You can create a template hook to do that, yes.

Im not seeing your email attempted to register. Please PM me the email you are using

Assuming you mean seeing a snippet on the home page? If so, this is now a theme option  (You can also change personally in your account settings)

 

EDIT:- You should be able to register on what you sent me now 🙂
