Good news! We have now added the invite link to the sidebar on all sites, and selecting it opens the invite popup directly. The link is only shown to people who have permission to invite. Sites can customize the placement of the invite link or remove it entirely using the “Customize this section” option, which is found under the “… more” menu. You can also add link to the popup directly from anywhere using the https://yoursite.com/new-invite URL. For more guidance on setting up and using the invite system, see Creating and using invites. This change comes as part of a handful of tweaks we are making to the invite system. The goal is to make it quicker and easier to…

I want to apologize for the downtime. I was in Tennessee looking at property. The power was not fully restored when I left. I though the back up power would hold things together in between. It didn't. Site went offline on Tuesday as I was doing an upgrade. I wasn't able to access the server until this morning when I got home. Power was still off. It came back at about 1630ET. It still up and down. Backup generator is keeping up this time. Thanks for understanding

Invision Community 5.0.0 has reached a huge milestone; we're now in open beta testing. After numerous alpha releases, we're ready to move forward with the last stage of development and testing. The beta stage is primarily just fixing bugs and tweaking existing features and we're confident that the beta testing stage will run smoothly as its already stable and being used on a handful of production sites by brave souls who have upgraded immediately. Of course, we'd not recommend being so cavalier, especially if you are not very technical and do not have the time or patience to wait for fixes and risk broken functionality between beta releases! The good …

While Discourse is widely recognized as powerful open-source forum software, Discourse has also served as our primary workplace/team collaboration tool from the very beginning. Many other companies and organizations have found incredible value in using it the same way. In this blog post, we share insights on how companies, research labs, and other groups that need spaces to collaborate can effectively use Discourse to support discussions that are worth remembering. Why teams choose Discourse for collaboration This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://blog.discourse.org/2024/10/discourse-a-team-collaboration-tool 6 posts - 4 particip…

I would like to start a community forum built on Invision Community v5. I have the license and the servers. What is needed is the topic for the forum and the domain. I did this once before when I was an admin at TAZ. We created a general discussion forum. It was very popular and when we closed it it had over a millions posts. I think a talented group of admins like the ones we have here could build a great community. Let's use this thread to brainstorm and come up with a topic and domain. Who wants to join me?

As you can see things have changed in the last few hours. I installed Invision Community on a test site. I wanted to run the importers again, I did it on the test site with a million post forums, to see if the process could be sped up. I decided to use the Forum² data as the test. Everything went smooth. I then wanted to try my hand with the styles. It turned out to be easier than xenForo using the visual editor. Once I had everything set up I checked in here to see we had no new posts since I did the import. I decided to go ahead and make the switch. I had pretty much decided to do the conversion to Invision Community when I got to play with the test site. I didn't…

With Invision Community we get new toys. I'm going to highlight a few. New forum format - You can change to the old linear format that lists all the forums. CMS New Link Directory Blog There is also a way you can change the colors of the site. Browse around, breal things and let me know what you think.

Current Projects - October 2024 Welcome to our second edition of Current Projects, a monthly newsletter about what we’re currently working on at Discourse. Your questions and feedback are welcome! Kicking off Composer redesign Our composer redesign project is still in its early stages, but we’re getting closer to defining our design direction and choosing the libraries that we’ll be building upon. After evaluating our options, three contenders bubbled to the top: Lexical, ProseMirror, and TipTap. We did some earlier prototyping with Lexical, but ProseMirror looks compelling, and its recent adoption by some larger projects addresses some of our earli…

I upgraded one of my legacy licenses so I could access the beta. After browsing a few sites that have the beta installed I am going to install it with the idea that I will move to it once v5 is gold. If the beta proves as stable as v3 and v4 were when they were beta I might go ahead and move to it right away. I upgraded Admin Addict to v3 and v4 beta before I converted to xenforo when I acquired Admin Talk. Might step out of the box again. I am not easily impressed by much. I am very impressed with what I see so far. One of the major things I like is you get all products instead of having to buy each module. This also includes the payment processing app. If I wan…

All the latest news and info from the Woltlab Burning Board RSS feeds will be posted in this thread.

I have created 2 new user groups. They are: VIP Visiting Admin The visiting admin group is for admins from other sites that are active participants here. The VIP group is for members that actively participate in the discussions, create new topics and contribute articles. Members promoted to this group will get extra privileges and get a shiny badge to denote that they are indeed VIP's. If you have any questions I'll answer them.

Since the site was opened I've had a number of users register from Russia. I've seen this before with users from India. They would register and let the account remain idle for a few weeks. Then they would come back and post a boatload of spam. Spam filters would catch most. Some would get through. I'm seeing the same thing with members registering from Russia. Is anyone else seeing a high number of users registering from Russia?

This thread is for the general discussion of the item Virtual Pet List. Please add to the discussion here.

Welcome to the new and revamped Forum Forum - A Community for Forum Enthusiasts. In the next few days I will be upgrading the site to xenForo 2.3. and installing a link directory for you to submit your sites. Take the time to browse a bit. If you want to get in on the ground floor register an account. Hope you enjoy you're time here.

I'm a ex-forum owner. Used to own a popular webmaster forum. Sold it a few months ago. I am looking to get back in the scene. I hope to be of some help to the new people that join.

Hello everyone, I'm Cedric, ex-owner of Admin Junkies, current owner of Administrata - Empowering Community Leaders and Agora - Marketplace for Freelancers and Businesses. :) Like many of you, forums are in my blood. I've been part of forum communities since I was 11 or 12, and now at 33, that’s quite a journey. Over the years, I’ve run advertising, promotion, and resource forums, starting with platforms like InvisionFree and Zetaboards. Back then, admin-focused forums weren’t really a thing, but this niche has always been where my passion lies. I created Admin Junkies and ran it successfully for almost two years before selling it. However, I quickly realized I regr…
