    This is really well executed. I especially like the implementation of online events, and the month selector. Really well done.
    P.S:
    The "Search Events" panel has too much padding The date display in the top-left corner of the larger event block also has too much padding. Although I see why you did it this way (so it's inline with the content in it), it looks wrong compared to the smaller blocks below it where it is actually in the corner. It's also not inline with its content in the smaller block. You should push it to the corner but make it bigger in the larger block. The filters on the map view need some tidying: "Back" / "Sort By" buttons butt up against the controls above, which are unevenly spaced, and the top of the "Search" button is misaligned with the top of the labels. Visiting the Calendar probably shouldn't prompt the user to provide their geolocation until they interact with something. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

    It has been a long time... Have I really gotten that old?
    It was just last year in summer of 2003 I was on a poetry board when the owner asked to create a skin for it and gave me the first look at a real Admin Control Center.
    I found my first IPB free version about the same time in my cPanel a couple of years before it became purchase only. A few days after my Birthday in 2005 I purchased my board. A few months after that I purchased the Blog and before I knew it the IDM and Gallery were in my possession.
    As I recall in late 2006 there (back then IPB had phone support). Well, I acquired a serious issue and for whatever reason I could get through. A few hours later I received a phone call from (98% sure) a lady by the name of Debbie who worked with me and found the issue my license key was compromised, and she had to send me a new one.
    The only reason I brought this up is because back then the techs could take the time. Like Mat said How were they to know what 20 years would bring. Well, here is to another 20 my friends. I may not be here then to celebrate in the physical form, but may be in the Spiritual form.

    What a fantastic coincidence....it just so happens to be our twentieth birthday a little later this year as an Invision client! Although I'm not sure how early we were as adopters, we were certainly one of the small numbers. What's most amazing to me is that compared to other forums I have administrated, the IPB suite has always been the most robust and supported. Others, yep, data got lost...."tough". Not IPB. External image links might have rotted, but those first posts feel eternal now. Crazy.
    Congratulations guys, and what a twenty years its been.

    I don't recall you ever having hair 🤔
    (I'm also very disappointed nobody picked up on my joke. I was with Invision for 12 years 😂)

    Well, been with IPB about 20 years... maybe 19 years and months, still believe this is the best board script out there... 🙂

    2009 I was looking for a software that offers everything out of the box. My largest project had been a knotted thing from:
    phpBB for forums CMS Made Simple for editorial content and custom modules Coppermine Photo Gallery AJAX chat OpenX Life... (I cannot even remember the name of software for users' blogs) I have connected all logins myself, customized all themes to get them looking similar. And... it was a nightmare to maintain

    It took us almost half a year to convert the whole thing to IPS. And after relaunch... well, my vacation feeling had started:

    I am happy I have decided for Invision Community. The other option I had was dolphin community. 😄

    @Matt it goes even further back for me as I still count the original Ikonboard days!  It was the failed experiment that lead to the one that actually worked!
    In terms of memories… there are too many for me to pick just one:
    @Charles picking me up from the airport near Appomattox explaining how Virginia was not a state but a commonwealth.  The panicked support tickets to reboot a server and @Lindy saving the day and talking me off the ledge when IPS still sold dedicated servers.  Meeting you and learning about the migration from Perl to PHP.  Working through the upgrade from IPB3 to IPB4 thinking the conversion would NEVER finish… and then when finally turning the board back online and members saying “oh wow!”

    Hello, Community

    I have been using this forum system since 2013, never before have I seen something so well developed with some characteristics that make it one of the best platforms to create a forum community.
    For some time now, I have taken my time to offer the Spanish language to the community, since it is something that many Spanish-speaking people want, and I will continue to strive to offer them the Spanish language.
    About President Charles I send you a big hug from Spain for continuing at the foot of your great work of Invision Communities.
    Without further ado I hope to continue enjoying the characteristics of its forum system and add-ons and functions that make it, as I will always say, the best in the market.
    Greetings
