Unless you are running a plain vanilla IPS install, you are going to be disappointed by the native app - your users are not going to have the same look/feel your forum has, features (if you have anything other than the standard Suite), etc. The only thing you're gaining with the native app will be push notifications, which I understand for some is very important, but depending on the needs of your community, the tradeoffs may not outweigh the benefits. If Apple ever decides to allow push notifications from websites, then that benefit becomes even less valuable. That being said, the beta of the IPS app is really, really good, and miles better than Tapatalk, so there's that positive aspect.

I second that - it's actually way better than the IPS Chat app ever was, to be honest.

The biggest issue by still allowing your users to use TapaCrap is you'll have to update the addon that allows TapaCrap integration. Also, I would stop using TapaCrap as it has been found to be insecure in some instances, so that alone was enough for me to convince the minority of my users to switch to just using the site on Mobile (make sure if you are using anything but the default theme that your custom theme works well on mobile) as there was more functionality to be had that way vs TapaPoo. Sell the mobile version as an enhancement to your already great forums (they're great right? Of course they are!) to your community and eventually everyone will get on board - maybe even mention the officially supported IPS app coming soon as a further incentive to those who don't like the mobile version for whatever reason.

I think this could be useful to seasoned admins as well as newbies, as it may show a feature despite running a forum for years, you may not know about. Is this something you can toggle on even if you are upgrading to 4.5, or is this only triggered for new installations?

I'm surprised Pages doesn't come with a built-in template for this already...

So without any dark mode support on the official default theme, sunglasses sales will go through the roof (for our end users) - we should offer them for sale via Commerce 🤣

Thanks for the explanation - sounds more like the team here at IPS should roll this into 4.5!

This sounds really useful - could you provide a before and after example?

Quote Collapse We will finish with another popular feature request; the ability for long quotes to be collapsed, reducing the amount of scrolling one has to do. Quite simply, Invision Community collapses long quotes with an option to expand them to read the entire quote. Well, that will eliminate one plugin I have - great!

I think he might mean his scripts, as in the addons he's installed into CKEditor - if the forum software (and editor) is updated, do the addons get wiped out? Good question and just a guess on my part about his question.

while in designers mode the change stays until the theme is re-installed. What I mean is if the theme is reinstalled, it WILL restore the theme settings, so this is potential solution to the issue (although I do see your point about the revert button issue).
