JWSE 3.0 is finally here - built of the Invision Community V5

The upgrade to Version 5 of Invision Community has been done. It was a fairly painless process and while there are plenty of bugs still, I feel good about this upgrade. With the upgrade in place I can now start building new templates again for the databases. Yesterday I had some fun working with the Stories database, which is what I will focus on first. Once the Stories is done, I will focus on My Projects and then Awesome People I think. This is just my current plan, and it can change at any ti

Almost time to switch to V5 now

While there are plenty of bugs still in Invision Community V5, they are not bad and compared to the state of this site right now it is still a big improvement. I am still waiting for the next Beta to come out though as there is a bug with the Tags that I want to have fixed before I switch over. Once that is fixed I will most likely switch over and start working on the site again. When I switch over things will be very messy for a while, but that is expected. I will basically revert all cust

Invision Community now in Beta!

Yesterday, Matt announced that Invision Community V5 is available in Beta. This is amazing as that means that we are now moving into the final bug crushing before a stable release. This also means I can now set up a test site and test the upgrade and start playing around with it to see how it will behave with an existing site rather than just an empty one. While I still expect a few months before a stable release, I feel that things are moving in the right direction and I can finally start

Updating content in preparation of the new version dropping at the end of the year

This weekend, I have been having some fun getting serious about images. I have also done some work to prepare for the release of Invision Community that I assume will drop around the end of the year. It might be sooner, but I am in no hurry, as I have plenty of other things to do at the moment. One of those things is to plan the new structure of the website here, as there are quite a lot of changes happening for both content and design. This weekend I have updated the forums a bit so they h

Still some time before I can rebuild this website

I am currently alpha testing the new V5 version of Invision Community, and it will be some time before it will be ready. It has a lot of potential and I very much look forward to it being released, but it has a lot of bugs at the moment, so I don't expect it to be released anytime soon. This means I have more time to play around with things, but it also means that I will probably not have any new site done this year, or very late this year. This is neither good nor bad, but the way things a

A New beginning

As I have already posted, it is time for a new beginning. In this section I will blog about the progress of this site and my thoughts about building it. As I am paying for the blog feature I figure I might as well use it. I will ponder a bit on how I want to use it, but it makes sense to have it available, especially for Clubs. As for what I am currently doing I am playing around with design while I am waiting for Invision Community V5 to be released. I am creating the new icons and playing
