Popular Post Maxman Posted March 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2022 There is a new release of IPB. The look and feel will be the same but there are a bunch of new features that they added. Not sure what we will implement out of this just yet but here are some of the new user facing options: Achievements Achievements, badges, ranks, rules, gamification, whatever you want to call it, this is the most significant feature for Invision Community 4.6.0. This brings a whole new level of earning and showing trust to other members while gently nudging more quality contributions to your community. Zapier Integration This is more behind the scenes but it opens up a world of automation for us. The mod team can now get custom alerts based on things that happen on the site. We can take hot topics that get a certain # of posts and tweet them out or post them on Facebook automatically. Web app and push notifications There is a new mobile app through IPB. Which is good news because Tapatalk is charging us every month, and their mobile app is terrible. And it looks like only 20 people are actively using it at this point. For this new app and push notifications there is some technical info in this link. Anyone that wants to share thoughts and feedback I am all ears: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/invision-community/web-push-notifications-native-sharing-offline-support-r1222/ Anonymous posting Um, this one is going to be a no for us. We could have some fun with it and maybe there would be a need for it in the Mafia Forum or something like that. Otherwise I don't see us using this. Quote When enabled, members will see the option to post anonymously when creating or replying to content. Author details for anonymously posted content is hidden throughout the community and instead a default profile picture and name is shown. Total anonymity is not always desirable however and in some cases it may be necessary for trusted staff members to know who posted the content. Where allowed, these staff members will be shown an option to reveal the content author. Anonymous posting can be enabled on a per group basis and also limited to specific forums, albums and categories etc. The ability for staff members to reveal who really posted the content is a moderator permission. We hope this new feature is a useful addition and where appropriate makes your members feel safe or comfortable to share info they might not have otherwise. Solved content In Invision Community 4.6.0, we have rounded out our "solved" feature by allowing the feature to be enabled on a regular forum, along with notifications, statistics and more. Show when a team member has replied When you're scanning a list of topics, it's helpful to know when a community team member has replied, as these replies tend to have more authority and are more likely to resolve an issue. 4.6.0 adds a feature to show when a member of the team has replied. There are other new features on the back end like a health dashboard and improved spam checking which will hopefully make moderating easier. I think I should have some time this weekend to run the upgrade. It will require a little downtime but shouldn't be too long. Thanks! 12 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbloodblitz Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 @MaxmanNP bro.. thanks for the update and you know we all got your back! Hope things are going well?

More Cowbell Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Hey Max, One thing I would like to see integrated and I think I mentioned this before, the functionality of the last message read feature. Right now I have to click the link at the top of the thread to move to the last message read but there are message boards that I browse where as soon as I open the thread, if I viewed it before, it takes me to the last message read. That would be preferred by me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry McCockinner Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 It would be cool if the achievements/badges could be given as an NFT. I have a little experience in that area if you ever wanted to look into something like that. Maybe too soon though. It would be worth it just to watch @The Crusher explode with frustration in trying to understand wtf that means. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s imperfect, but that should bring you to the first unread post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's got a dark background it means you have posted in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe not as many as the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bla bla bla Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 @Maxman love seeing the new update! Can't wait to play with all the features! The anonymous posting is probably a good idea to keep in a designated area to prevent "anonymous inside source" stuff from "insiders" we don't know of haha. I definitely value seeing who is posting so I know how serious to take the post based on the interactions I've had in the past. Excited for the new app, I'm Definitely one who prefers the web browser right now but I generally feel that way about most websites haha Keep up the great work!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Maybe we should do a Zoom session with a walkthrough of all the cool features after the upgrade. Might be a nice way to see everyone again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 So, is this the upgrade that I almost accidentally triggered on my first day as a mod, nearly taking the board down with no notice in the middle of the season. Would have been an epic day 1. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if @Maxman could find an artist to make cool Jets art that he turns into NFT's to award in various ways and that art were to ever become popular and have a secondary market the artist and/or Max could generate some revenue that way. Whether they'd ever actually become valuable and have a secondary market is a question mark though. Maybe some cool Jets/JetNation artwork would create some sort of market though, who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
