I just finished a series of upgrades/improvements. I will be starting on a second set immediately.

Here are the major highlights:

Improved Registration: No need to validate using email. This means instant activation. Several other small changes and bug fixes.

v1.2 RC2: All boards are running RC2. RC2 focuses on security improvements and bug fixes. It also laid the framework for a Portal which will be available on InvisionFree soon.

Speed/DB Errors: The last week has had a 40-80 times reduction of DB Errors. A side effect of the improvements is an all around slight increase in speed and major increases in some areas (PM System and Show Leaders Page).

PM System: In addition to faster loading when you have several hundred or thousand PMs, you will now have every PM you reply to makred so you can remember which still need a reply. Several bugs were also fixed.

Attachment System: Major bug when moving a topci which has attachments in it has been fixed. The download counter was re-enabled. Topic viewing is slightly faster. The whole Attachment system has been redone.

Server #2: All new boards will be placed on Server #2 as of tonight. Server #2 already has tools in place to prevent DB Errors. Server #2 also already has short URLs (no need to type /forums/). Cookies have also been improved.

Images and Port 54: Images are now served completely seperate, not using port 54. This means users with strict firewalls will now be able to see images on InvisionFree.

Minor Adjustments/features:

-File Manager bug fixes.
-File Manager improved user interface.
-File Manager size bug fixed.
-Polling voting bug fixed.
-Backup shows when you can perform your next backup.
-A major permission mask bug was fixed.
-Added Custom Image for Users Online (it no longer is shared with birthdays).
-Dozens of minor tweaks and bug fixes.
-Probably some more little things I forgot to mention.
