Welcome to the GACE Online Forums ßeta test site. The forums use software from Invision Community. We currently are using Version 4 on the GACE Online Forums. This site is for Version 5 of the newest Invision software. There are quite a few changes and updates as this is a complete rewrite of the v4 software. This version has the ability to switch from light to dark modes to suit your preferences. To switch, scroll to the bottom of this page, or any screen in the v5 test forums, and make your selection of the following buttons. Light Bulb = Light mode Moon = Dark mode Half-moon = system preferences. This will allow you to switch back and forth as you see fit. You may wish to view some screens in light mode and some in dark mode. Try entering a post. It doesn’t matter which forum. You will notice that there is a new editor. I do not like this new editor as it seems more limited than the editor found in v4 of the software. I was fortunate to be included in the Alpha test of this software and voiced my opinion of the new editor as well as almost everyone on the alpha test team. It was a cost decision made by the Invision team. To be fair, the new editor does include one feature that I sort of like. You can add a box. You can add a box by selecting the “+” icon in the editor menu and then select the “Box” icon in the drop-down. The box also has some extra settings that you can play around with and design the box to suit your preferences. You also have the ability to have a theme with the main Menu located at the top of the screen or you can have a side menu. Select the “Theme” option located at the bottom of each screen and then make you selection from the drop-down menu. You may set any theme as your default to suit your individual tastes. The “Default” theme is just like it comes out of the box. The only change is that the icons have been added. Select “Store” from the menu and make a purchase in the store. Don’t worry, there will be no charges made as this is just a dummy purchase and no funds will exchange hands. We just need to do some testing before the new updated software actually goes online sometime in 2025. If you have any questions or suggestions, PLEASE leave them in the Discussions forum. Also, feel free to post any and all test messages that you wish to become familiar with the new software. I have also created a club named “GACE Forums Oversight”. If you are interested in helping design and new version of the forums, click on the club and ask to join. You will be required to login frequently and test the new forums and input your thoughts and ideas in the club. Please create a Blog, club or upload files and/images to help test the new system out. Who knows, you may get a special group created just for you once the new system goes online.
