I go back and forth on this. On a couple of my sites I have chat enabled. The chat works well on those sites and compliments the forum well. The sites I use chat software on are an off topic forum and a computer help forum. I have used it on other sites and on those the chat took over. Everyone went to posting in the chat instead of the fourm. What's your thoughts?

When is a forum community not a community? Let us know what you think would cause a forum to turn into something else besides a community. Is it bad if it transforms to something different?

Do you keep a close eye on the content being posted on competing forums? If yes, how has it helped you? If no, why not?

Now that I've been using Invision Community for a few weeks I am getting deeper into the apps that come with it. Tere is so much being offered it's almost overwhelming. I decided to see what I could do with pages the CMS. I was looking in the app at how the basic articles system was set up. Using that as a guide I created a link directory. I bought the scripts that are used here for the link directory. At the time I wanted a solution so that I could replace the one I used when we were on xenforo and the one used here was avaialble. I actually had a license for it so the renewal wasn't bad. In any case I converted SEO Forum to IPB a couple days ago. I then upgraded it…

Do you think polls on a forum are often forgotten? I know most platforms hide them behind a button, which I think adds to the effect of many people not realizing that the feature is there. Do you often neglect to create polls?

What has been the best content you've posted on your forum? Best in terms of engagement and reactions. Don't link to it. Better yet, tell us the structure of it. What was it about? What kind of CTA (question, etc) was in the original topic. What has kept it going?

Discourse 3.0.2 Stable Release Discourse strongly recommends that all sites follow the default tests-passed branch of Discourse. The “stable” branch is more focused on lack of change than lack of bugs - all releases, including those on tests-passed and beta are production ready.

New features in 3.5.0.beta2 Review queue We have begun making a series of improvements to the review queue, where moderators can review and handle flagged content. A popup is displayed after completing a review action, as a success indication and to prevent accidental multi-clicks. If a post is flagged due to matching watched words, the responsible words are listed now so it’s easier to immediately know the reason for the flag. Welcome banner We have added a new welcome banner feature, to welcome members and allow them to search site content. To turn it on, select the Enable welcome banner site setting. Admin interface We continue to make improvements to the admin interface at a rapid pace. Three improvements to highlight: Uploading and managing your site’s logos has become easier with the newly redesigned and reorganized branding page. The logos we think every site should have are highlighted, while optional logos have been tucked away. When editing your theme’s color palettes (formerly known as color schemes) you can now specify color hex codes in addition to the usual color picker. If you like to get into your theme’s code to edit HTML and CSS, you will enjoy the newly improved theme editing interface. We hid seldom used fields behind a toggle, added better descriptions, and always display descriptions at the top rather than behind tooltips.

Invision Community 5.0.5 Beta 1 Released Mr Milchick approved We're back with a brand new release! This release fixes a few of the bigger issues reported over the past couple of releases. Elasticsearch For those using Elasticsearch, please note that the new minimum version for Elasticsearch is now 8.0, with the latest version 8.17 recommended. Those using Elastic search in v5.0.4 and earlier (including all of v4) will need to upgrade their Elasticsearch server, and then rebuild the search index. We chose to update to the latest version of Elasticsearch as v7 is no longer supported and there's been some document level changes in how data is stored. We've tested it thoroughly but let us know if you find anything odd! Using Betas If you do not see an upgrade, it means that you do not have betas enabled. Invision Community Cloud Cloud customers can opt-in to betas in the client area. Invision Community Classic Self-hosting customers can either download the release from the client area, or add the following line to constants.php define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', TRUE );If you do not have this file, create it in a text editor, so the contents looks like: <?php define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', TRUE );Let me know how you get on! Coming up soonish There's some discussion around sluggish javascript in some areas. This looks to be specific to Chrome and occasionally Safari, which honestly has taken a nose dive in quality recently. We think we know why, but it's taking some time to figure it all out. Essentially, we think it's some parts of our older javascript framework struggling with the new CSS framework. We'll get it figured out, but I wanted you to know that we're on it. -
From 1st May 2025, Discourse’s minimum supported iOS version will be updated from 15.7 to 16.7. After that, visitors using older versions of iOS will be shown a basic-html version of community content, and won’t be able to login or interact with the site. Devices limited to iOS 15 are the iPhone 6s, iPhone SE (gen 1), iPhone 7, and iPad Mini 4. These were all released more than 9 years ago, and are no longer updated by Apple (see iosref.com). Unfortunately, it will not be possible to use Discourse on those devices going forwards. For more recent devices, iOS should be updated to iOS 16.7 or higher. From today, we’ll be rolling out a warning banner for affected users, with a link to this topic. On the technical side, dropping support for older iOS versions will allow us to start using modern web technologies including relative color syntax, subgrid, and lookbehind regex, all of which will enable improved experiences for Discourse users. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
