IPS (Invision Power Suite, the software that powers this site as of October 1, 2015) is putting out a fairly big update soon.

While the Huddler platform has continued to stagnate for a loooooooong time, IPS recently released version 4.0 of their suite of software. Though it's been rough going through the earlier releases, it's starting to get better and better and features are being added or improved constantly.

For example, just the editor will get a big list of feature bumps:

Quote:

• Uses div-mode which is much faster and more reliable. Clicking into the editor is now pretty much instant.
• Auto-linking and member mentions to use new APIs for better reliability
• Quotes, code boxes, and spoilers can be dragged and moved and there is no more "red line"
• When cmd/ctrl right-clicking: options to remove or break-out of quotes, edit links and edit image properties
• Pasting asks if you want to convert to plain text
• Totally new code plugin with syntax highlighting as you type
• Option to make enter behave as a new line rather than with spacing
• Editor is responsive, and ability to have small editor show in areas with less space
• Member @mentions in posts can now be selected by tab key

Hopefully on Halloween! Updates can be scary too!

Yeah, well, back in the early days I'd apply updates as soon as they came out. Since the site sees quite a bit more people and traffic and whatnot these days, I may wait a day or two after it's out to make sure everything is copacetic.

Plus I got to use the word copacetic.

Version 4.1 is available now.

I plan to wait until at least Sunday to install this, though. There's no need to rush into these kinds of things.

New Content is going to look fairly different, too. (New Content is technically going away… the Streams are the new thing.)
