Famously, all Maria Carey wants for Christmas, is you. This is great news if you're a Maria Carey fan.
As the holiday season draws closer and our staff chat channel turns to egg nog, twinkly lights and why is wrapping so hard, we asked the question:
What would you like for Christmas? Brandon

I really enjoy writing about the new features the development team have been slaving over for weeks (and sometimes months.)
It's a real joy to be able to share the finished product after we've seen it through inception, discussion, planning, assigning to a developer, coding, peer reviewing and final group testing.

Sun kissed beaches or snowscapes? Bustling cities or quiet villages?
The question we posted this month was: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
In theory we could work from anywhere in the world that has a decent internet connection, but where would we choose to live? Mark Wade
It was only a few months ago that I was asking myself this exact question! I've alwa…
Ever since its first release, the REST API built into the Invision Community software has proven to be a very powerful and well-received feature.
We love seeing what our clients and modification authors are able to do with the level of integration afforded to them through this capability, and so it is only natural that we have looked to expand the functionality in our upcoming 4.4 release.
