We're back, refreshed from the holidays and looking forward to warmer weather!

This is our monthly updates and improvements release. You can see the full changelog here.

Along with the usual bug fixes and improvements, we've also got the following new functionality:

Email Templates

We've refined and polished the email templates. If your email client supports it (Apple Mail and versions of Outlook), they'll also natively support dark mode.

If your email templates have been customised, they will need reverting to enable these refinements.

Modernization

We've been working on modernizing components of our UI, refining it and removing JavaScript that's no longer needed with modern browsers.

Mobile Menus

New navigation panes also support swipe-to-dismiss on supported devices.

Navigation Dropdowns

Navigation dropdowns can now be configured to open on hover instead of a click.

Statistics

We're always looking at ways to improve the analytics and statistics in Invision Community. This month, we're adding two new reports

• Total Member Visits shows the frequency with which members return in a set timeframe. In this example, you can see that 1 user has returned to the community between 6 and 10 times since the start of the month.
  

• Points by Member allows you to look at which of your members are earning the most points during a specific time period.
  

The less exciting stuff!

We're introducing a new section for beta releases covering areas where we would like to focus testing. These areas could be anything from small but central changes to new features.

Focused Beta Testing

Fix issues with event date/time filters and timezones

• Events in non-UTC time zones are displayed on the correct day.

Fix issues with saving forms with toggled fields

• Submitting forms with fields that toggle other fields.

Ehren is a real beast in UI/UX.

Ehren and I experienced three days of 40°C+ (or 104°F for you imperial people) weather a week ago!

Ok, I'll be honest. I'm not looking forward to that much warmth.

When attempting to edit an existing post, the screen shifts to the bottom of the page, requiring a scroll up to where you were. This is mostly fine if you are editing the last post, because a minor scroll up is all that is required, but if you are editing anything up screen from that, it could possibly be quite confusing to a member.

I couldn't reproduce this. Can you tell me more about the browser used?

Is this part removed in 5.0.15?

As the content is missing on my test install, and on 5.0.14 the options are still there?

This is a bug - I've submitted a fix for this.
