Today we at InvisionFree are officially launching our new name and identity: ZetaBoards: Free Remotely Hosted Forums
Zeta is the first software to be built from the ground up specifically for hosting in a multi-forum environment. It features page execution times up to 6000 times faster than our old InvisionFree software, and over three hundred new and improved features. From a central resource database that everyone can submit into, to inline moderation and an enhanced PM system… ZetaBoards will allow forums to be easier and more fun.
We’re coming up on five years of operation… here’s to another fifty!
Ladies and gents, IF2 has landed.
That is all.
Testing shall ensue.
We just had a board send 2500+ support tickets. That’s one of the flaws in the current system and I hope that our rewrite of that system fixes some of the issues we’ve been having with it.
- No way to block a board from sending tickets
- No way to let a board close their own tickets
- No auto-expiry
- No knowledge base
- No way to log into a user’s board until they set up an account for us
- No way to throttle the number of tickets a user can have open at one time (to prevent spam like Mr. 2500+)
- Hard to answer many tickets at once
But Christina, Jay, and I teamed up to take ‘em out B)
Mmmmm chocolate. I went and saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tonight. It was quite good and pretty true to the book… but not worth seeing more than once. Johnny Depp is nothing if not versatile.
However, the real goodies came after the movie. A chocolate party! I had two marshmallows dipped in melted chocolate, a pretzel dipped in same, a double chocolate cookie, a chocolate fudge brownie, and hot chocolate. And some Hershey’s Kisses. Yum. I don’t want any more chocolate for awhile now.
Oh, and the IF2 Bug Tracker got finished today. It will be shiny and make QA for IF2 much, much easier.Â
Okay kids, this guy did EVERYTHING right.

- He identified himself immediately, and stated his request, all in the first message
- No “hey” or “yt?” messages
- His request was not for support, it was for something related to the forums, of which I am the admin
- He was nice about it
I salute you, Mr. Nhlmaster28; may others learn from your example
