Invision Plus Blog

Today we’re proud to introduce a new feature called the Promote Panel. It ties in with the new Invision Plus Directory, and is a way for you to get extra exposure in the Directory by getting your visitors to vote for your Board. Here’s what it looks like:

With a little luck, you’ll be seeing it appear on your own Board shortly!

This will also help the better boards rank better in the Directory, so visitors to InvisionPlus can more easily find the best board to join.

If you want, you can Disable the Promote Panel in your Admin CP under System Settings -> General Configuration.

We’ve got some new updates over here at InvisionPlus.

1) NEW Enhanced Directory: http://www.invisionplus.net/directory.php

3 features worth pointing out include include the ability to see which forums are most active, check out the forums that are ‘heating up’, and search with keywords! Technically, this task was pretty challenging as we are indexing daily activity from almost 30,000 forums and hundreds of thousands of members…something that takes 4-5 hours of constant server processing everyday!

Why did we do this? This is just the first step in a larger strategy to help promote forums that are thriving while also empowering users with the ability to search and discover new forums, exciting topics or like-minded individuals.

2) Automatic PM (Personal Message) for new members
Greet ALL new members with an automated personal message

Check out this great tutorial by Elliot (and also leave feedback):

Purpose: Saves time for the administrators & improves the user experience for new members! (over 90% of the users polled wanted this feature)

3) Search all InvisionPlus forums at once, using a custom search engine by Google

Oh yeah, we also redesigned the website…stay tuned for some more updates, and let us know how we are doing!
