Hooray! Who doesn't love upgrades? I wonder what won't work on Wednesday?

The 'popular now' sidebar seems to have vanished...

Ouch.  The bad news is, I am the only mechanic.  I will take a look.

It is possible that the Popular Now sidebar will return in 4 days.

Well, it appears that Invision has removed this from our plan.  Here is a screenshot from the Invision chat forum.  I am not allowed to post there due to all of the custom stuff we have, thus making me not "in the cloud"  I can only use the PM feature and react to posts.  I will keep an eye on the thread to see what happens.

I was wondering what happened to the Popular Now block. Thanks for the updates, Mike. Much appreciated.

Here is some more info regarding the popular now feature that used to show up in the sidebar.  The first screenshot is from an Invision admin.  The second one is a way to view the "Trending" content that can be viewed by clicking on the leaderboard.

Yeah Mike! You can always read the Release Notes first! What's wrong with you?

That Charles, he's a real charmer.

I glanced over them prior to the update.  I like how they put the popular now issue way down below.
