I like the UI changes to reactions and profile card popup (especially on mobile where the double click for reactions were kind of janky until now). Is there any room for further tweaking the profile card popup? When I click a username and the card appears, I think users will much prefer to have easier access to Message (and Ignore, although less important), rather than those options being tucked under an 'Options' dropdown. Conversely, "find content" might be something that would be better served in an "options" dropdown?

Very nice incoming changes and improvements. Many thanks Matt! Regarding tags, has there been any thought given to Tag page improvements (I'm thinking about pagination on the "Recent Content" tab rather than linking to a Search results page, a general "Tags" landing page that can be a hub for all tags for users to browse, and perhaps a Tag Cloud-like Widget of some kind)? Looking forward to seeing the Tag feature evolve over time. Appreciate all your efforts!

Great feature Matt and team, thank you for implementing. I don't know if it would help in my use case (I run a free community where my objective would be to encourage memberships rather than paid subscriptions) but it's nice to see that this is now an option for paid communities. :)

Upgraded perfectly now - many thanks Jim!

That's fine, I can handle that, many thanks! I'm guessing I'm safe to just throw in all the files in the zip without concern (like the conf_dist_global.php isn't going to mess anything up on the public side)? Sorry for the seemingly dumb question, been a while since I did a manual upload upgrade! :D

Hm, that might be it actually, when it did the download/extraction thing the loading bar crashed out and I had to reload, so it probably didn't download from the source... should I download the package directly from the client section and upload myself, or do you recommend another method?

Um... any idea what this is about? These are IC5 core apps, and they're somehow not compatible with this update? EDIT: For what it's worth, all IC5 core apps are on the same version (all 5.0.19) so it's not that they need to be updated first as the installer advises. Any ideas?

I mean, you could say that about the entire change to the Reactions drawer in 5.1. It'll still be two clicks to React whether the thing you're clicking on is a smiley or a heart. Ignore me I thought you were talking about something else! 😄 That's a fair comment.

No, I personally think a smiley icon is the correct choice here. It aligns with most users' expectations of a "emoticon/feedback" section would look like. I quite like the smiley face too because it's a generic icon to represent all Reactions (rather than using an actual Reaction from your community, which can influence users to using that by default for everything). I do wonder if consideration has been given to the Reaction popout drawer itself though, in terms of accommodating a large number of Reaction icons. If a community wants to add 10+ Reaction options, those can easily spill out of the viewport on mobile (and could break desktop pages as well if a browser's been resized to be small enough). Maybe a small selection of icons in the immediate popout, with a clickable icon that opens up the drawer to reveal more Reactions if selected?

Loving these UI updates. I particularly like the mini profile change, as well as ratings and reactions tweaks. All seems to be a lot more considered. Thanks a lot for the hard work Ehren. I'm hoping there's scope to redesign the full profile pages too, in the future :) But the new mini-profiles look great!

Fair enough - just thought it was funny! 😄

New website looks great, lovely job guys. I do like the focus on the branded logos and the work you guys do with these big corporations, it definitely helps to realign expectations on the scale of business that Invision attracts with IC5 these days (instead of just looking like a hobbyist platform solution like the V4 site did). Only thing missing is official in-depth technical/developer documentation for extending the platform... which I think has been teased to be released by the IPS team ever since Beta 1 of IC5 now? 😄

There really needs to be a 'cancel upgrade' function on future updates here, because I got completely blindsided by this php upgrade thing and wouldn't have hit the upgrade button if I had known about this prior... now I'm stuck unless I roll back to a backup? Pretty inconvenient...

OK, thanks Marc. Any way I can cancel the upgrade process, so that my community doesn't continue to see downtime while I seek a downgrade path for my php?

Is there a reason why the latest update is telling me my version of PHP is unsupported, when it is in fact newer than the recommended minimum version? Among the other issues I've been dealing with, this isn't a welcome notice tbh, especially seeings as this latest update is being listed as a serious security update. Can this be fixed please? I shouldn't have to downgrade my PHP just to meet an upgrade check...

Sorry to pile on since it seems people are asking about what fixes it includes, does this new update also fix the issue where {resource} image theme tags break upon site upgrade? It most recently happened when I installed the hotfix Stuart mentioned above; a bunch of background images core to my community's theme design just didn't display, only working when I literally visit the image in a browser tab directly (via ACP > Themes > Resources > Right click resource image > "Open Image in New Tab"). It's been a long-running issue with this suite since early IC4, and I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that something can finally be done about it... More info in the topic below.

I think herein lies the UX confusion issue I mentioned before - if the entire topic is unread from the start, what purpose does the ball/star icon serve? It should be removed entirely if the user has not visited the topic at all.

The idea that has been discussed in this topic is: if you click the actual topic title link to the content, it behaves as you have set in user/admincp settings (in this case, "take me to the beginning") but if you click the blue dot/star next to the topic title, it ignores that setting and should always direct user to the latest comment since last visit (this behaviour shouldn't change no matter what is set in user/admincp settings) Some users here are saying it works as described above, but I am finding that the blue dot next to some topic titles will just take me to the beginning of the topic, rather than latest comment.

This actually doesn't work at all. I have set the "When a member clicks an item link" options in both AdminCP and my own account settings to "Take me to the beginning", but when I click the blue disc icon next to a forum thread it only takes me to the very start of the topic, and NOT to the latest comment as has been discussed here. Bug report? EDIT: Actually I tested again and it works correctly for 'star' icons (as in, forum topics that I have previously posted/interacted in), but the 'disc' icon (for topics that have new content but I have not yet posted in), seems to not work. Maybe the disc icon should not appear at all if the user has not yet read that topic at all, as that can be quite confusing.

I captured this on my iPhone and added it straight from there, should really be working honestly. If Invision can't see the video, happy to try and convert it to a different medium that Windows is happy with.

The new menu design doesn't seem to be very intuitive when it comes to working with Tags in iOS. Scrolling around tag search results is a poor experience: ScreenRecording_10-11-2025 06-32-46_1.mp4 Otherwise, not bad!

Oh I hear that, appreciate the consideration Matt! I'm thinking maybe there's a way to offer a drag/drop option in AdminCP (maybe it can work a bit like the new Menu Manager?) for admins who are SENSIBLE about button placement (and for those who aren't sensible, maybe add a limit to the number of buttons you can place on the editor row!) but just want to prioritise certain functions on the top level?

I do think there is a lot of room to improve the editor in terms of admin customisation. For example, on my community (which is gaming focused), the spoiler tag is used very frequently (perhaps the most frequently) and so asking a user to find the Wrap Box, then figure out they need to hit a dropdown on that box and then select "Expandable" (which is not very clear it also means "Spoiler"), is quite inconvenient. There should be an ability for admins to allow this particular functionality to be a top-level button on the editor. Similarly, I do not quite understand the rationale for options that feel very much secondary, like Text Size and Font Color to be assigned top-level buttons, while primary functions such as Quote Boxes are tucked away in a dropdown menu. I also don't get why the Code Block is nested under the Paragraph dropdown when it makes more sense to place it under the "plus"/"+" dropdown... Just seems like the priorities in terms of editor button placement needs serious work. But I understand that every admin has a different need (although I'd be incredibly surprised to hear if 99% of communities don't use Quote Box enough for it to be handed a top-level placement), so I think a good improvement in this area would be a section in AdminCP where admins can re-arrange buttons as they see fit to best suit their community needs.

I know what it said. This would be great, thanks Matt.
