Too much empty space. It looks like an abstract Dribbble-layout for a portfolio, not for real use.

Hi there, 
 
Community I have years with you we are really all in fear great panic.
If there really is above there is a god who will do everything to save his world, this one that makes it work like a clock.
My most thanks to all the staff Volunteers, Police, Health and other people who are at the forefront of the Virus,
Those researchers fighting against the clock to find a quick cure to the near-deadly virus that has taken thousands and innocent lives.
Without more I hope to return soon to like all of this wonderful community of forums and their staff that make them one of the best forum platforms.
 
A big hug from Spain ❤️

Very useful ideas, thanks @Joel R

My dream is that IPS grows enough that it can pay a dedicated developer team for each app. Pages, Commerce, Downloads … they all just get these “sweeps” after 1,5 years with a few improvements here and there. It clearly shows. Those app can’t keep up with standalone solutions by other providers who improve that one app all day every day.  

Welcome to Invision Helen. A very nice and clean site styling. Love dogs too and it's always interesting knowing how to make cookies for them. Good luck.

So maybe work on that. 😉

Ha, so true! There's a theory of 90-9-1 participation inequality in online communities that goes something like this:
90% of all users won't do anything (lurkers)
9% of all users contribute a little
1% of all users contribute most
That's the nature of human participation in online communities and ... That's okay.  It's okay if most users don't participate or contribute.  It doesn't mean they don't feel valued or a part of the community.  There's research that shows Lurkers still feel a bond to the community and enjoy reading, even if they never write anything themselves.  
In terms of asking users for help, there are some interesting insight that might be helpful. 
1. Users actually feel a greater connection to the community the more they participate. There was an article awhile by Matt on gamification and building a "loyalty program," and in a way, you should think of your users' interaction with your community as a loyalty program.  How are you cultivating stronger loyalty and progressing them on a value curve? 
2. Leadership sets the way.  I've discovered that people tend to be followers.  There are very few true Alphas.  We all follow rules for everything ... On the road, social etiquette, workplace professionalism, our life is ruled by rules! So it's hard to ask users to create something truly brand new.  What I do, especially on large projects, is do the first couple of items myself.  It not only shows them what to do, but it breaks the mental barrier of how to do it.  It's small but an important psychological opening.  
3. Don't over-ask.  I view my user's time and attention and clicks as a gift, not a privilege.  There are plenty of things in their lives that probably deserve more attention than my little community, so any attention they give to me is precious.  I'm always respectful of their time before I ask them to take on a large project.  
4. Nobody cares as much as you, but you can set the tone.  I laughed at your picture because it's so true.  In behavioral economics, there's the dilemma of the principal-agency problem.  Hiring a person to do the job is never as good as doing the job yourself, since they will never care as much as you.  To combat this, I spend a lot of my time talking about how to go about something, the best way of doing it, and the standards that we should have.  It helps establish a common framework of high standards.  I run a private club for my community's superusers.  And all we do is talk about best practices to activate the community ... We talk about how club leaders can more effectively run their clubs, how they can post differently for more engagement, etc.  It sets the tone for my community so that if they DO see a problem, they don't just ignore it, they have a way of getting it resolved -- and I thank them for taking the time to report or fix issues to reinforce the positive behavior.  
You're asking users to overcome their innate laziness and achieve a higher potential.  
You've noticed the problem.  How are you going to spend 2019 to overcoming it? 

How often do we come across people who work without asking for anything in return.. We have samples like this all over 
 

With 1 million, I would buy a house, a nice car and a dog to protect both. And some more ips licenses.

Cracow, Poland 🙂
Or US - Miami 🙂

It will only highlight, not recommend.
It's an interesting idea for a resource.

Yes, I'm sure the others are due imminently! They are normally out every year.
My main community is about a very dark 90's TV series, serial killers, criminal profilers etc and my members still love the Xmas themes even though some are probably bit too cute for my community, something for everyone though and I've never seen anything top them. Sometimes I've combined with the falling snow plug-in.

This is all quite topical for us because we've just passed one year of a five-year plan to get our affairs in order such that we can move to the hills of Slovenia. We need to feel that we'in the middle of nowhere and the fact that Slovenia is a mini Europe (Alpine mountains, lakes, coast on the Adriatic) means that we can always drive to a "holiday destination". And it snows in winter, which is perfect!
This is the house we saw which made us think "let's do it!" OK, it will have sold by the time we're ready to move but it's more than whetted the appetite! Look at all that isolation!

We did a bit more searching on a holiday last summer between Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia and realised that property on the Croatian side of the border seems ridiculously cheap. Since my better half is already very good at Croatian (she watches Croatian comedies and laughs at all the right parts), we may revise the plan and go to the north of Croatia instead.
We're on course with all the goals we've set ourselves to make it possible. The one important thing is that I need to have a job where I can work remotely once we go there, since she'll be giving up work after 20 years of stress, so if you're looking to expand the support team ... 😉
 

Very good news, my site is very heavy in image usage and page loading speed a big issue. 
The bad, it seems this deep code change will affect many plugins I guess and regarding my short experience with IPS updates, there will be some bug fixing necessary and a real stable package available after some point releases.
However, a great step forward. Thanks for your hard work girls and guys. 👍
