    Status Updates - Discontinued

    By Myr,


    Site Tech News
    Invision Community 5.0, which will be released soon, has decided to discontinue several features. One of those features on the front-facing part of the software was Status Updating posting from your profile. We are shutting off the feature to get ready for future upgrades.  With the next release of this software version, they will start nagging us to do so, and I don't need more nags in my life.
    I have opened a new forum to allow for status and chatty content.
