Invision Invision Community v5 enters Beta

[Cedric]

I have an active license too. I don't see anywhere to download the beta in the client area.

It's listed under your license key.

Could be because I'm a dev maybe? Edit no it's open beta you just got to join the club I think

The primary disadvantage of the "Feed" forum layout is that navigation can become challenging with a large number of forums, such as having 12 like Administrata. If there are more than four forums, it may result in excessive scrolling unless the forums are organized into subforums. However, even then, it may not display the specific forum in which the topic is posted.

The "Testing Forum Index feed' Was in the subforum "Another Test Forum"

Agreed. It’s a cool setup, but obviously not ideal for many forums.

There should be an option to mix the content listing.

I can fanboy about Invision Community all day but there are a few things that they have done that makes me wonder if this was a good move. I do love the fact that they gave us a Dark mode. Even though they had it in the admin CP in version 4 it took them this long to put it into the front end.

I've been playing around with the Beta for the past few days, and it's much more improved from v4. I'm loving the new Pages builder, making things so much easier to get something setup without having to use a plugin for it.

Genius work. Got a beta myself by now.

That's in 4.0 too. Noticed it yesterday when I was getting deeper into the admin. I haven't used IPB since 3.4. Much has changed and all for the better. Blows me away how they innovate while others stagnate.
