The Page editor is 100% better due to those highly talented IC crew. 

 

Not my best video, but I am a bit under the weather, so it is the best I can do at the moment 🙂

That's great Jim! I just watched it through and I think it is going to be a huge help to me.

I also wish to express my huge appreciation to the Invision team. I can now see myself building features which before seemed a bit too much beyond my abilities. Brilliant!

That makes me so happy to hear!

Sharing is caring and if I can help others to feel more comfortable using the new amazing features of V5, or Invision Community in general, that is amazing!

Looks amazing Jimi. It's not so much useful for an actual discussion forum, but for a personal web page, this is very cool!

The domains I shared on page 1 expired, so here's the updated version. I still need to make a homepage that ties it all together, but I absolutely love the way IC5 works across apps. 👏

Good one indeed.

@Como & @SoloInter

Nice one indeed!

Still a work in progress but here we go! 

 

These communities are looking awesome everyone, well done! 🎉

I can't express how much I love seeing these communities, and the mix of sidebar versus top navigation.

Keep them coming!

 

... and the mix of sidebar versus top navigation...

For the first time, we will give the choice to select between 2 templates, for people who want to "stay in the past" :

Mine has been slightly updated - mind you this is an adult community but trying to keep it classy, not ordinary. There's a few people while I'm building it, it hasn't really officially opened yet.

- I'm a bit bothered with not being able to center the logo properly without adding additional custom css.

Same xD

I had to add this to get it center: 

img{margin: 0 auto !important;}

Thanks, I’ll give that a go later on.

I thought I saw something in @Ehren theme video about backgrounds for the header. Did that idea get scrapped or do we have to use CSS for that

Definitely don't use this code, it'll reset margins on every image on your site.

This will center the logo:

.ipsNavPanel .ipsLogo{
	justify-content: center;
}

Correct. Background images were never implemented, so CSS is the best solution for the moment. 🙂 

Thanks @Ehren 👌

Ehren, do you have a css code to make the individual color bars on forums have a glow effect? 😇😃

Some thoughts regarding the new design options in v5: 

- Stylistically, the vertical menu allows all of the menu links to be shown.  Before, we would inadvertently hide a lot of the sub menu links into drop downs or hover menus.  Behaviorally, this means menu links will be more readable and more accessible, and therefore easier to navigate especially for new users. I really think the vertical menu is going to really help new users. 

- The most creative designs are those that tap into a broader range of apps and widgets, which leverages the full strength of the suite. They're doing things beyond just forums, and building custom pages with blog widgets, events widgets, and more.  

Even though IPS will never match the algorithmic personalization as Facebook, I do believe we can start building more customized pages for each user entirely with widgets.

Indeed, the key aim for v5 was to make it far easier to design a custom community and tailor it without having to create custom templates and pages of CSS. Quite often we'd say "you can do that but you need a custom block, a template and some CSS" which puts it beyond the reach of most community owners.
