Is there a list of the functionality that is removed in V5 compared to V4?

Right, so our plan was: inform, give people notice, add a deprecation on the username/email log in settings in the ACP and then phase it out in v5. This is the transition process we put into action in the November release (the posts quoted were from September). We kept our word that we were not going to remove it any time soon. Here we are two years later and you're still pointing it out instead of doing something about it.

 

My actions since so far include spending money on an third party app and using that to try and inform members (some from 2002) along with posts etc

I  have since the announcement asked about the 'tool/app' that I and others were led to believe by the staff would be supplied by yourself to assist this move, a couple of times now without any satisfactory answer 

I today felt a need to 'point it out' as yourself have just stated that you have had no recollection of any such tool or app being offered

If there is no app/tool/assistance then fair enough, matter closed

perhaps it is better to instead add the templates to the field itself?

Sure, that works too.

I’ve bit the bullet and set a date of November 1st to switch to email logins.

I’ve had a topic pinned for 2 years warning people this was coming, then having read this the other day, sent out an alert to all members as well as pinning a fresh topic in the main board.

I know I’ll still run into issues trying to recover accounts from those that haven’t been on for a while, just one of those things I guess.

Can see the reasoning behind switching to make things more secure, even though we have had no known breaches since opening in 2009. 

Plus having users email addresses up to date isn’t a bad thing, I might start investing time into email newsletters with a few cheeky ads in to boost revenue.
