I like the new forum display "compact view" that this site also now uses. I would like it more, if I had the freedom to have it activated for specific forums or forum category and have the classic view activated for other forums or forum category. I checked but it doesn't seem like it's possible to have it activated for specific forums. At the moment it's activated for all forums site wide. Is it possible, and if not, can a third-party dev invent a solution? Länk till full forum post

When using word expansion, it's only useful for desktop users as they hover the word that the expansion is visible. But that's not the case when you're on a mobile device. Tapping the word that should be expanded is just not showing. So the feature only works on desktop which is a shame for all the mobile users who wanna know what the abbreviation is of a word. Also in version 5 it's not easily visible that the word has en expansion. In v4 you had a dotted line under the word so you'd know you could hold your mouse on it to reveal the expansion, and the mouse cursor changed to a question mark but that's not the case anymore too in v5. (there is no styling for the abbr htm…

The default overview in Events includes Happening Near You, with a large map taking the prime space. All our events are nearby, so the map's useless. I propose that Happening Near You be made a widget, and deleted from default Events overview. We'd instead use the Upcoming Events widget, which doesn't have the map and has many more display options. It's great as is. Others will wish to keep using Happening Near You, and can. This takes away no capabilities, and requires no new widgets to be designed. Länk till full forum post

My use case. I am creating a subforum listing a music groups song/video releases. I am only placing a line of text and a YouTube video in the post. If I click on one of the tags I used for the post, and view the the tag page, it just shows a blank colored image as the cover image for that post. Initially I would like to use the YT videos thumbnail as this image that would show up in grid view, which I download myself, but I do not want to place this image in the post itself. The YT video already shows this image in the post. basically ... Is there any way to feature a image as a "cover image" for a post, without the image actually being inserted in the post itself? @E…

5.0.0 release The table view for forum table contains forum title, forum description, and first post. For mobile only, I'd like to suppress either or both of the description and first post for a more compact view. Länk till full forum post

It seems I can no longer simply type :) and have it convert to a smile. This behavior seems to be universal everywhere, FB, Word, text apps, email... Also, if I click on the smiley list, it takes a lot longer than before to load. Will the :) functionality be added back? Thanks Länk till full forum post

Hi, In V4 I had sth that when I was accessing a category, it was showing all files in every subcategory of that category. Is there a way to do this in V5? Or any app that allow us to do this? Cheers, Ibai Länk till full forum post

Hi, I use Whatsapp and Telegram to spread and promote content. Can you please add those as Social profiles in General Configuration? Thanks! Länk till full forum post

Please return "Mark site read" to the bottom of the site next to "Unread content". When I view the site (mine or here), I start at the top, scroll to the bottom, load more activity (if there is any), right click (Windows) on the topics I want to read and say open in new tab, then click "Mark site read". Now I need to scroll back to the top, click my name, find in a list "Mark all content read", click that. Also, the page used to refresh to show all topics are now read - now it is almost imperceptible that anything happened. Thanks Länk till full forum post

Please return the star icon for threads I have posted in. My browser favorites are set view Unread Content. I usually look for the star next to a post to see if I posted there. Unless I am missing a setting, I no longer see that. Länk till full forum post

On the who's online block, the number of members and guests have been removed. You can access the full list and it will tell you the number of members online, not the guests, which I'm not hugely bothered by as many were bots. I just kind of miss having that number there to gauge how busy it is on the home page than trying to guess looking at a block of text. I renamed in languages Whos Online to Fans Online to suit my site, but like this would be nice whilst retaining the language string so a Taylor Swift fan site could have 267 Swifties Online for example.

Hi, 1 - If you change the header colors, you will lose the logo. 2 - You can not set for both light and dark themes, you setup for light, you will lose the logo for dark and same for dark. Thanks. Länk till full forum post

Don't feel like this should be on a forum but don't know a better way to ask. I'm really wondering why Alternative contacts are allowed to pay for a license but can't download the software corresponding to it. The button is available and only shows the following notification: We are working on our forum with 3 developers and sharing login info is out of the question (something about security?). Currently I need to forward the files, which is fine for now, but having the contacts option, let them pay but not download is weird. Hopefully this a "bug" and it should be available to all contacts or this will be changed soon to being able to download. Länk till full forum p…

Some of our customers tend to leave abysmal ratings on our products often for very simple to rectify misunderstandings. It would help a lot if there would be an option to provide an official response to a review. Länk till full forum post

Please could you improve the Calendar Event rich embeds, by showing the current year instead of the year it was created, or adding an option setting to hide/display the date format? I use the WYSIWYG Pages Blocks on a page created with Pages app and the rich embedded links that are auto generated show the original dates when the events were actually created. It’s kind of ugly and confusing to readers. Here’s an example, I have 12 recurring calendar events with monthly gardening tips. When embedded into a Pages block, by pasting a link to the actual calendar event, the original dates show twice in each single event embed and the dates are from 2021, some say 2019. It woul…

Not sure where to post this, but in the latest v5 beta 14.1, whenever I use the theme editor and click save, my header banner/logo disappears and I have to add them again. This happens every time. Bug? Länk till full forum post

Open tagging has been replaced with a new system in v5.If you would like to discuss this, or get help on preparing for the v5 upgrade, please use ourfeedback forum. What needs to be done? Länk till full forum post

EDIT: Posted this in wrong section, please remove. Status updates have been removed in v5. Signing in with a Display Name has been removed in v5, email addresses must be used instead. Open tagging has been replaced with a new system in v5. Pages: You are using custom PHP blocks. These will no longer function in v5. Why on earth are we losing features that we have had access to up until this point? I understand iterating on features but the complete removal of Status updates, Display Name login and PHP blocks is a baffling decision. Please reconsider and let us keep the product that we have been paying for, or at the very least make the patch an optional one. We are peopl…

You wonder why? Because IF a user has more than like 200-100 purchases it will slow down your website. (yes if you sell licences or whatever it can happen that people have more than thousands of "purchases") This also can be abused to spam open/refresh the site to really hurt the website's performance/db. I don't understand why you would want to display more than 25 purchases on one side anyway? Would be nice to get this still in IPS4... cuz it really can hurt website performance :/ Länk till full forum post

My community uses only 6 ranks, and while we don’t make a big deal of ranks (i.e., they don’t confer any privileges, permissions, or authority), we want them to mean something (i.e., there is some level of prestige from higher ranks). In keeping with the theme of our community (a wargame), our community ranks are based on titles (not ranks) within the game and there is a time/longevity component to them. Content and engagement are our main focus, naturally, and the more important element of all of this is the actual achievements that members earn; but we want the time/longevity implied by the ranks to be reflected to a degree. Under the current system, however, this is im…

It would probably take a miracle from the heavens above to restore this feature, but I’ll leave my feedback nonetheless. I have this third-party feature called “reaction in private messages," where members can express their reactions in private messages. Due to removing the hooks in v5, I was told this feature is impossible to recreate in v5; the only option is for IPS to include it in the core. This one feature is the one I missed the most in v5. I read it only takes one line of code to apply this feature. By any chance, can we react to private messages in v5? Länk till full forum post

It would be great if admins could enter default Country and City information in the fields for Events. My site (and many others) is a hyperlocal one and the vast majority of events are within one city, and there is absolutely no reason for any events to be in a different country (and the list of countries available to users is huge). This would remove superflous information and prevent a barrier for users to create an event. I did a search for this on the forums here and there are a few threads of other sites asking about it, but it doesn’t seem to ever have been formally requested. So, ideally (as I see it, there may be other solutions), in ACP > Community > Event…

I think you should work on the speed / loading times of the forum. IPS4 has always been slower than Xenforo but IPS5 seems more so. I find every Xenforo site seems to load really fast, IPS4 was sluggish to begin with but improved over time. A snappy forum is always better experience. speed.mp4 Länk till full forum post
