Jordan Miller

@Gary Love this! Miss my Invision fam and I'll def be looking forward to these. 

Thanks @Gary, nice to see you keeping @Jordan Miller's flame alive but doing it in your own style. 
 

Welcome to the very first Invision Insight, hosted by yours truly! 😎
I'm excited to connect with you each week to share what's happening inside Invision Community. For those that haven't yet seen me making my way around this community, I'm Gary, and I have just recently joined the Customer Service team at Invision Community.
We are currently working hard to close out our 20th year in business on a high note!
There are still so many things to look forward to before the year is done though, and I wanted to give you all a few things to keep your eyes out for. It truly is a testament to the hard work, motivation and dedication of the entire team, and we thank each and every one of you for your contributions, suggestions, feedback and overall engagement within the Invision Community space. We have you to thank for the past 20 years, and we hope to still bring you a dynamic community platform for the next 20 (and beyond)!
New Version
Invision Community have released their most recent beta, 4.7.5 Beta 1.
This release is our December release and focuses mainly on providing bug fixes and improving stability in the software. This will be our last release for the year as we prepare ourselves for some new features in 2023!
Please click here to read up on the full release notes.
Blog
Earlier this week, I posted my first blog entry providing insight on how keeping it simple provides the best experience for the users of your community. It would be awesome if you could check it out if you obviously haven't already done so!
This makes up the first of a mini-series of blog entries I have planned, so stay tuned to read more in the next few weeks.
Upcoming Event
Want to hear from Olivia, Charles and Matt as they discuss what we have delivered this year? How about getting your eyes on the roadmap and what we have planned for next year? Join us for this very special December Release and Year in Review Chat, due to kick off in just a week's time!
It'll be 2:30 am my time, but I'll try my best to be there too!
Changelog
And just to keep you all in the loop, and because we know you love what our outstanding development team are doing each week, I thought I'd steal @Jordan Miller's idea (😈) in providing you all with a list of updates and fixes made to Invision Community in the last seven days:
See you in the community and next week right here for another Invision Insight! I look forward to hearing from you all!
On a side note, if you have any ideas for future Invision Insight content, I'm all ears! Feel free to send me a private message if you don't want it mentioned publicly.
Thank you everyone! 🦘

Happy Hump Day! Sort of… 
I have a bit of news to share with you: this will be my last Hump Day as I am stepping down from Invision Community. 😢 
I am transitioning to a new role at Amazon. I’ll be creating content and engagement solutions for AWS. 
I’d like to take a moment to thank this community for welcoming me with open arms. When I first started my journey as an Invision Community team member, I focused on community advocacy and connecting clients with the team. We quickly realized my, um... exuberance was better suited in marketing and sales. 
Creating content around Invision Community opened my eyes even further to how brilliantly crafted this platform is and the team behind it.
I've also genuinely enjoyed communicating with industry professionals every day who showed interest in adding a community component to their business.
So many incredible Achievements (😏) happened along the way; I’m grateful I was a part of Invision Community’s success as we blazed through the 20-year anniversary. 🎉 
Now, you won’t be rid of me entirely. My own community, BreatheHeavy, will still remain on the Invision Community platform. I look forward to staying connected with all of you here!
Thank you for engaging and interacting with me these last few years. 
Please feel free to PM me here if you have any feedback, questions or well wishes. 😃 
I want to give a special thanks to @Charles for being my mentor and seeing potential in me (even when I didn't). 
And before I go, here’s a list of updates and changes made to the platform in the last seven days:
 

Thank you, 🙏

Stay comfortable with the cheerfulness, it isn't going anywhere! 😉

Now that I've got used to your excessive cheerfulness, you're leaving already? Too bad, I wish you all the best in your new job @Jordan Miller

Thanks so much, Lindy! Appreciate our time together. Lots of Jordust™ to share

Ahhh, the settings must have reset when I updated because the Members group was not selected. I selected that box and it's working now 🙂 
Thanks for getting back to me - I really appreciate it!
For anyone in the future who may be experiencing something similar:

Thanks again!

This resource bans only people that posted in the topic. Are all members already banned? Are members who posted and they’re not banned? Are their groups properly chosen in the app settings?

Thank you @Olivia Clark and @Charles.

Well done, guys! 

Olivia wasn't nervous at all.
 
Olivia was very nervous. She almost backed out.

Well done, @Olivia Clark and @Charles! Smashed it out of the park!
So excited for these features to go live for everyone and I'm sure it will benefit many communities out there.

Does that mean you're coming back?  You miss being a part of the action and need to be in the thick of things again?!  

Nicely done!!

Nicely done!!

Nicely done!!

In Invision Community's November Release Live Webinar, we discuss a few key features included in the next platform update. 
 
@Charles gave us a review of some new moderation actions and more additions to our Events App. 
We also covered the switch to PHP8 that is effective with this release. 
 
Also, thank you David for your question! We are excited to bring the functionality for "paid events" to the Events App. This is in the early planning stages but we are happy to tease such a wonderful addition since it is "in the works". 🎉 
 

Do you have a question about the November 2022 release? Feel free to ask in this topic.
Did you miss the webinar? No worries. We uploaded the video session for you to watch:
 

Thank you! Haha and I may or may not have lost the keys so0o0o0 🙃

Thank you! I will definitely miss being in the mix every day, but I'll def still be engaging here! I love this place too much 🫂 

Thanks so much, Lindy! Appreciate our time together. Lots of Jordust™ to share

Wow that's unbelievable! I suppose everything has an end. I really appreciated your help during pre-sales and onboarding, and also how you animated the weekly events. You will be missed, I wish you the best for your new endeavors! 😄 

I truly appreciate the fresh perspective and positive energy you brought to us, Jordan. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors and have no doubt that you will carry that ++ vibe wherever you go. 🙂 
You are certainly leaving a void, however, I'm hopeful you'll continue to check in, let us know how you are doing and sprinkle some of that magic Jordust™ that the community has come to love and appreciate. 
Best of luck! 🙏
