  1. Prize to the person who lists the best ways to go insane with Invision Community. *The prize is a signed photograph of me from 2008, so probably not a lot of incentive to be honest.
  2. This is a good idea. I'll raise it internally.
  3. This has come up a few times. It's something we're very much aware of.
  4. Clubs with one member: I don't think this has broad appeal, but Pages with some custom plug-ins could likely accommodate it.
  5. I think we tried v3 internally with some fairly poor results. I'll mention it to the dev team and get an update.
  6. Hi Bert, I'm glad it's resolved. In the future you'll get a faster response via customer support who can assist with account issues like this. Thanks!
  7. Do you also prevent them from uploading images / using GIPHY?
  8. We really try and avoid extra settings for minor interface elements like this. Generally when something changes there is a push back from experienced members, but over time this resistance fades and it's no longer a hot issue and they adapt their habits to suit. Adding a setting adds extra technical debt to the product which means more inflection points for bugs, cross setting issues and so on. If it's still a hot issue in a few weeks, please let me know and we can look at it again.
  9. We've had this on our internal roadmap for a while, there isn't a set release or date, but it's something we do want to do.
  10. I definitely recommend disabling downvoting unless you have a very focused and trusting community.
  11. The first paragraph was brilliant, and then it went downhill. 😂 We definitely want to add more flexibility in the future for more varied and flexible layouts. It's something we've discussed a lot internally, but it's not made it onto the roadmap yet.
  12. Every integration point we put into Invision Community adds to the technical debt of the product. It means keeping abreast of changes to the API and adjusting our code as needed. S3 is probably the most widely used system right now (and something we use natively with Cloud Communities). You are welcome to add a request for more to be added, and if there is demand for it then we will definitely consider it.
  13. We are discussing this internally. 👍
  14. Mevi, firstly I'm sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry Senior here is already writing your obituary! The idea of memorialising members has floated around for a while, and it's something I'd like to put some thought into.
  15. It's something we've spoken about to extend the embed system but we do not have any firm plans at this time.
  16. Appreciate the feedback, thanks! We're constantly looking for new ways to improve content discovery. There are already widgets you can use to show popular content when viewing a topic list but we're definitely open to any ideas.

    4.5.4.2

    This is a maintenance release to fix bugs.
  18. Invision Community is growing! We're currently recruiting three new roles, one full-time and two part-time. Applications are now closed, thank you to all those that applied. We'll be going through them over the next few weeks. It's been a very busy year for all of us at Invision Community and our continued success means that we're looking to expand our team even further with three new roles to fill. Invision Power Services, Inc. is behind the leading community software platform, Invision Community. Our tailored solutions serve clients of all sizes, from smaller communities to the world’s biggest brands. We are looking to kick start 2021 with a tight-knit customer-obsessed support team to build a positive support culture for our clients. All roles are fully remote-working. Customer Service Superstar We are in need of a full-time Customer Service Superstar, a new position within the company. You are solution-driven, customer-obsessed and passionate for cultivating a positive support culture for our clients. The person in this role: Answers client questions in a public-facing forum. Triages client requests to developers according to our processes. Deescalates problem or potential problem communications. Advocate for customers to our development team. Is comfortable with technology and willing to learn our platform. Why should you apply? You are a Customer Service Star - solution driven when helping clients. You are confident in conversing via forum style, public-facing support. You can clearly communicate both in writing and verbally. We primarily provide customer service in English.

You work well with a team remotely. You are personally organized, suited to excel in a remote work environment. Part-Time Community Support Assistant We are looking to add two part-time community support assistants to our growing team.

Ideally, you will have customer support experience, be familiar with our community platform and comfortable with technologies such as FTP, Amazon S3, PHP and MySQL.

Applications are now closed, thank you to all those that applied. We'll be going through them over the next few weeks.
  19. I would also say that if your community is small enough to fit on a shared server, you probably won't derive any real tangible benefit to running Redis. Redis is great to help large sites scale up and reduce database I/O but if that isn't a problem you need to solve, adding Redis onto the same server will just take resources from other areas and you won't really get any benefit.
  20. Unfortunately if a developer has abandoned the app or plug-in, then there's little we can do. We would not take ownership of the third party product and maintain it.
  21. Wouldn't it be great to know if a staff member had replied to a topic before you clicked to open it? When you're scanning a list of topics, knowing which have had a reply by a member of the community team can help decide which to read. Currently, you need to open the topic and scan the posts to see if there's a reply from the team. Happily, in our next release, we've made it clear which have had a reply by a member of a specific group. You can specify which groups to show as having replied via the Groups form in the Admin CP. The per-group setting in the Admin CP You can select to detect the group based on the member's primary group, secondary group or both. When viewing a list of topics, you will see a badge showing that a member of that group has replied. This simple feature will make it easier to highlight when important replies have been made to topics, which is a great addition for forums using the new 'solved' feature. Let me know below if you'll use this new feature and what you'd like to see in the future.
  22. You originally quoted 51% as false positives, what you do think it could be now? Trying to capture spam is a constantly evolving process. Trends wax and wane. We tweak things to account for this but we can only do so after a trend has established itself. Given the size of your community and the number of registrations you get, I'd love to know more about your data and look at our capturing system to increase its accuracy.
