Hey all, I hope you are all well. Sorry, I haven't been around much its been pretty busy my end with one thing or another. I wanted to start informing everyone of the upcoming improvements to the forum software (invision community suite). The developers are working on and beta testing the next version, which is 4.5. Many of you will have no interest at all, but I urge you to take a little interest at least as I will have to install the new update when it comes available.
This is a big release, so many changes and significant improvements are coming. I will list each update from the developers below so you can take a look for yourself at all the new things coming.
This may or may not mean that our current theme/styling will stop working, at this point I am not sure but to start off here is the info regarding the new default theme that is much less cluttered more modern and so on. Just to reiterate this IS NOT about me faffing or getting bored of the look, this is about the software developers improving many aspects of the software, and that includes the look. We will have to update to this new version for security reasons and improvements.
You can follow all the updates as they come here https://invisioncommunity.com/news/product-updates/ or i will add new links below as they punlish new updates.
