New Features in Invision Power Board 2.2
Invision Power Board 2.2 contains a huge selection of new features ranging from low-end code improvements to new features designed to enhance your community involvement. New features include:
Personal Profile Portal
Invision Power Board 2.2.0 has a totally redesigned portal page with the following features:
* Friends list - manage your friends for easier PMing, to see if your friends are currently online and display your friends on your profile
* Profile comments - allow visitors to leave comments on your profile. You can set to moderate all new comments before they're shown.

* Your content - show your recent posts / blog entries / gallery uploads on your profile
* Personal statement - add a short bio for others to read
* Member rating - rate other members

* Easy access to edit your location, age and IM details
Note that you can optionally switch back to the old "classic" profile view in the ACP.
New Text Editor
New Style
The text editors, both standard and rich text (WYSIWYG) have been completely rewritten to make them more intuitive and faster to load. Clutter has been reduced with the new dynamic menus.
Switch
You can now switch between the rich text editor and the standard editor without the need to reload the page or visit your User Control Panel.
New Attachment System
Upload without the reload
IPB 2.2 has a new attachment system that enables one to upload attachments without having to reload the post screen. The new attachment area is directly below the text editor.
New Style
The attachment system has had a complete overhaul and is now styled along side the new text editor
Monthly Directories
IPB now saves uploads in a monthly folder, making FTP directory listings much easier.
Extensible
The new system is extensible via the attachments plug-in system. There is now one central attachments repository and plug in modules define space allowance and rendering options.
New Thumbnail Design
Attached image thumbnail previews now have information above and below the thumbnail offering original file size and original dimensions.
Inline message system
Invision Power Board has an on-the-fly message system to confirm actions taken place. This is an important new part to the user interface especially when using ajax when it's not always apparent that an action has taken place.
