Makes sense - thank you for clarifying!

So it automagically™ knows to serve up my CSS/JS files without me having to provide the assets to them?

I'm on CloudFlare Free now - I don't see anywhere in IPS to change my CDN info as to where the files should be served from, and do you have to load up the files to CloudFlare for it to work? Specifically I am talking about the CSS/JS includes, not media files like in Downloads

Are you using the Free tier of CloudFlare, or are you on one of their paid plans? I guess they wouldn't consider a website that brings in money to support itself as a "personal" website...

No CDN - are there any good free CDNs you would/could recommend?

If we don't use CloudFront/Flare, what would be the setup process - add a CNAME to our server per your instructions above?

Would this work with Wasabi?

Awesome - you just earned a sale, Sir!

Does this allow you to choose which version of the SoundCloud player to use (or allow the user at the time of posting which one to use)? I would prefer having the smaller more compact player than the huge one that is by default used by IPS.

There you have it, folks. Most users are not likely to download a separate app just to enable push notifications for one forum.

Ah, okay - if anything, just having an "other" option to enter your own custom one would be useful... surprised they didn't do that (and give a facility to upload an icon with it).

You can add custom fields to user profiles for this

iOS 13 is rumoured to have a Night or Dark Mode as a system default as well.

Okay - I will give it a try (I had it on the default 30 seconds BTW) and let you know. Thank you!

@Adriano Faria - I purchased this yesterday as I just upgraded my forum to 4.4.3 from 3.4.9 and we had an old version of this addon and my users really liked it. After enabling the addon though, I noticed my board was much more sluggish, whereas it has been quite speedy since upgrading to 4.4.3. This morning I awoke to CPU alerts (I am on a VPS), site up/down notices, etc. and could barely get into the ACP to disable your addon. I should mention that it is the only addon installed besides "Who Was Online" addon found here: Once I did disable your addon though, my board is back to normal, and is running fine. I did see via Chrome's Console that there were a lot of timeouts, etc. when the addon was enabled. What are my options at this point? I really like the addon, but if it's not an issue that can be resolved, I would appreciate you considering a refund. Thanks for your efforts and let me know (either here or via PM) what can be done.

https://caniuse.com/#search=webp Now supported by Edge 18, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari is experimenting with webp support.

The new thing these days is Responsive Font Sizes (the font size adjusts to the kind of display/viewport you are on) - frameworks like Bootstrap are starting to incorporate them. Also, on your mobile device, you should be able to increase the font size globally (and I would think the browser/website would honor that as well?)...

What I meant is if IPS offered a Dark Mode via an application switch, not a theme, any theme (including IPS own theme) would need to support it otherwise at best, nothing happens when the switch is toggled, and at worst the theme breaks or is rendered unreadable because of white text on a white background, etc. I suppose a Dark Mode would really just be a theme switch anyway, but there would still need to be the requisite CSS to support it.

I think the fact that IPS is themable negates the need for a "dark mode" which is popular with apps today. Perhaps if IPS provided a dark version of the default theme... If an application-level dark mode was implemented, then theme creators would have to support it with dark mode CSS for their themes - which raises the question - would an already dark theme go reverse in dark mode (e.g., light mode)? 😀

There are some larger forums (businesses in their own right) that probably wouldn't have an issue paying $$$ for a feature that important these days. No iOS support though based on what you mention? Even better, why not sell it to IPS?

Yeah, I am seeing where data images are the preferred method (although that does add to page weight (KB)) for faster loading.

For a HiDPI or "retina" display logo, you need to make the logo at 2x pixels so on those devices it will display sharper. Googling "how to make retina-ready images" should provide some tutorials.

Does it have a DMCA takedown button for the inevitable requests people will get when their users start uploading illegal content? 😆 I know I'm being facetious with that statement, but really - there should be a way for people to report inappropriate content/copyright issues to the site owner or Mods and remove the content until reviewed.

As @Upgradeovec mentioned, libraries like FA are (relatively) massive and you're probably using 1-5% of FA's library for IPS. If you created an icon set with just the icons needed for IPS and nothing more, it would be drastically smaller. And you wouldn't need an in-house designer; just contract with a designer on an as-needed basis to create the initial icons, and reach out as needed when more are required or a visual refresh is in order. Hopefully FontAwesome will have as @Upgradeovec suggested a "custom build" so only the icons needed would be included to reduce the overall footprint of FA, then it could be configured to exactly each person's needs.

I think IPS should have its own SVG-based (or custom icon font) icon set for the default forum theme, and allow theme creators to specify their own or a library like FontAwesome (again, either SVG or icon font).
