I'm interested in the concept of Invision integrating with Zapier in terms of events, triggers, and actions!  We use and rely on the 3rd party "Rules" app, and the uncertainty as to whether it'll work with each new version of Invision Community has had me a little on edge. lol

It'd be wonderful if these same "ETA"'s could be used internally, as in Invision --> Invision.   e.g. If member registers --> create a post in the forum
e.g. If customer makes a purchase --> Queue up a follow-up email for 30 days from the purchase date.
Regardless of any of that, this is great!

It's important to "really" know your audience.  Many people tasked with communicating to a wide audience assume readers have sufficient "real world" experience and college-level reading ability (In the language being used) in which to be able to "really" understand the message that is trying to be conveyed.  
There was a time people actually had a love of words, think back to the time of Shakespeare.  Now it seems people take a certain pride in trying to communicate with others with the fewest characters (not words) they can.  This is causing people to have shorter and shorter attention spans.  
"Executive Summaries" are a great way of providing a simplified explanation of a topic and cater to those folks with short attention spans. 
If you choose to use abbreviations or words not commonly used it is helpful to provide an explanation of their meaning.  
Lastly, writers often focus their attentions on details (or choosing just the right words) and completely forget to call the readers to some kind of action.  Some folks have more time than money, while others have money but little free time.  Most any call to action can readily utilize both so don't focus all of your attention on one group.  Give your readers a multitude of ways to be of service in the short and long term.

BTW, for all 3rd party devs... 
This was implemented as a MetaData extension, meaning that you can utilise the feature in any of your apps 🙂

Nice addition but if only they would go a little further to really enhance subscriptions. Just to again name a few...lol
 

The main benefit is to integrate with this party services. Zapier provides a common platform of exchange for any app: Mailchimp, Google, Facebook, Dropbox, etc - and now Invision Community - to send data to any other.
The fact you can use it to send stuff from one Invision Community to the same Invision Community is an interesting thing I wanted to mention, but I imagine most people will be linking with external services.
"Integrate with [insert service name here]" is one of our most popular feature requests.
Zapier also has this!
During testing, I had a Zap that did "if someone makes a post, and that post contains my name, blink the lights in my living room red and send me a slack message - if it contains another staff member's name, blink the lights blue". I was going to include a video in the blog entry, but thought we should stick to realistic examples (people are sometimes a bit literal and I thought some might get confused into thinking we were aiming for building a feature that aimed to blink the lights in your home 😅).
We don't have a "New Purchase" trigger yet (though obviously it's high on our list) but by sending that trigger to Delay and then an email service that kind of thing is a great example of the sort of thing you could accomplish.

You can do this with my Drip Campaigns application.
 

Love it!

If we really want to modernize things, we should have a "Night Mode" switch in the corner.  (I think there's a theme in the marketplace like this, actually)
Looks good!  Appreciate the attention to detail with things like this.  👍

For this release we have focused on the search logging (and the UI to inspect those logs). We share your excitement about future possibilities - knowing what users are searching for will open up a lot of possibilities. We could show "trending" content based on recent searches, implement more intelligent auto-complete options for searches, all sorts of things. Baby steps though.

4.5 brings ES 7 support, so can I get half a WOW?

Any possibility that existing members can be added as referrals, if both members confirm of course?   I do like the possibility to add incentives for bringing new members, but some of my users deserve recognition for the manual referrals they did already 🙂

The content share links work the same as they do now by linking to specific content items but the difference is referrals will now be tracked when people follow the links.
You can then also add the share block to any page as a block. When using the block the link will be to the default homepage of your community.
