Our September release of Invision Community is packed with improvements and new features, including editor enhancements and a brand-new integration with a popular service.

Our commitment to enhancing Invision Community, which is shaped by feedback from many of our customers and partners, continues with this release.

In addition to the usual fixes, we have some exciting updates to share.

Editor improvements

The editor is one of the most important components of Invision Community, as it serves as the interface for contributing to the community. We have upgraded the editor by transitioning to the latest version of Tiptap for Invision Community 5.

This update introduces several improvements, including support for touch events on mobile devices and enhanced overall efficiency.

The editor's toolbar is designed to be compact, making it suitable for all devices, whether large or small. However, many found it difficult to locate the code box button and the spoiler feature.

In our September release, these features are now more prominently featured in the menu.

We've added the ability to drag and drop quotes, boxes, and images within the editor.

We will never let you down.

Finally, we've added the ability to set alt text for an image, and a video title and default start time for a video.

Mailchimp

Invision Community can send emails to your members, but you may require more sophisticated content or wish to set up automation and email drip campaigns.

Mailchimp is a widely-used service that we have experience with, and the new integration allows for automatic addition or removal of members from a list.

You can also export existing members and import them into Mailchimp, which offers a double opt-in option via a confirmation email to ensure permission for subscription.

Auto lock topics

A popular feature request is to have a way to auto-lock topics based on criteria, such as when they have not had a reply for a long time.

This functionality is now available in our September release. You can exclude pinned topics, topics created by specific authors and those tagged with particular tags.

Default pages per group

There are several reasons why you may want your default Pages page to be different for each member group. You might have a membership community and want to show them a pricing page, or you may have a special VIP group that has access to more parts of your site.

With our September release, you can now set a default page per group.

This only examines the member's primary group, given the complexities that may arise when secondary groups are used, as they can be combined with many other groups.

We hope you enjoy these new features, and we encourage you to keep sending in your suggestions; they truly help us shape the future of Invision Community.

All these features are available to all Invision Community plans.

Silly question, when will it be released? I am using Invision for many years and never really been interested in the exact date. But since I am waiting for a few bug fixes... :D

Most likely early next week.

Hi,

The video in this topic isn’t playable using my iPad. I tried Safari, Firefox and DuckDuckGo browsers.

I get the play icon but no video after clicking on it,

Two items that are really appreaciated.

One items i really need, is making the Tables Responsive. So you don't get a scrollbar for table on mobiles. Is that somewhere on the todo list?

It plays as expected here on my iPad in Safari.

Thanks, perhaps something to do with this site/server or the video codec itself as I can play mp4 video elsewhere such as all the demos on the Mozilla html video page. I’m running iPadOS 16.7.11 but html video has been supported a long time.

Out of interest, I looked at the video properties for clues but I'm none the wiser.

Stupid Apple. 🤐

I uploaded the video to my iCloud Drive and it plays fine in the Files app. So I don’t think it’s the video my iPad doesn’t like.

Hi @Matt - Any plans on converting IPS tickets to private topic for audit and compliance reasons? You had agreed in past but I don't see any mention on that recently.
