Thaivisa Blogs upgrade finished

[george]

We have temporary disabled the forum blogs section due to a software bug. Invision support is working on the issue. My best guess is that the Blogs will be up and running again within next week.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Are we getting any closer to getting our blogs back?

Any news on the Blog Front?

IP.Blog 1.4

We've upgraded our blog to the new 1.4 version. Enjoy the new version here and let us know what you think. We're very excited to hear your feedback and suggestions on this new blog software!

New Default Style

IP.Blog has been overhauled with a fresh new style, one which feels more like a traditional blog. Additionally, it has been designed with themes (see below) in mind, so there is plenty of room for theme authors to experiment in their designs.

Themes and Custom Headers

You can now install 'theme packs' and allow your users to choose which of these themes will be applied to their blog. Using themes you can completely change the look and layout of an individual blog. Users are also able to create their own unique theme, these user themes must be approved by an adminstrator before they are publically viewable by other users. The new custom header system allows you to create multiple header images for users to choose from.

Content Block Plugin System

It's now much easier to create your own content blocks, using a new plugin system. It's now possible to define settings for a plugin that apply to individual blogs, this means that you can integrate with 3rd party widgets that require a unique username for each blog. We've also included new content blocks in this release: Twitter, MyBlogLog, Google Reader, Friends Blogs, and Recent Visitors.

Social Bookmarks

A new bookmark manager allows you to define bookmark services for your blog system. These services will allow blog entries to be easily submitted to the bookmark services that you setup. There are several preconfigured services: Del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, Mixx, Reddit, and Stumbleupon. Please feel free to suggest any services that you would like to see included by default.

Media Integration

The new tag allows you to automatically convert various media types into a more useable format. FOr example, [ blogmedia ]http://www.test.com/somemp3.mp3[/ blogmedia] would be converted into a mp3 player for the specified file. You can define any media type you like in the Media Tag manager, by default we include: Flickr Image Set, GameTrailers, Google Video, MP3 Player, MySpace Video, Veoh, and YouTube. Please suggest any additional media tags that you would like to see included by default.

Akismet Integration

We now use Akismet to filter spam for both the comment and trackback system.

Feedburner Integration

Users can now override the default rss syndication and use FeedBurner.

and much more ....

I give up! For me, you guys broke the blog page. Worked fine before, now it doesn't. I've tried IE, Firefox, Safari, Camino and no love. Must be something to do with Leopard. Buttons do not work. They only send me back to my blog, unchanged.
