Let me know all translation issues and in one post if you can, I am updating this app so will do them all while I am updating and would rather them all in one place
I can see what I can come up with

not all the time it depends the rules you play, Same as flipping a coin you can do it once or you could do best 2 out of 3 etc but it all comes down to the people playing, I will see what I can do with that though but it won't be in the next update as the actual code for that game is massive

I did come across something like that yesterday, I didn't know if it was after I edited it or not, I assume now not lol. I will get out a update with-in 24 hours

As highly requested Purchased as No. 1!   
As always, congratulations for this plugin! I really believe in the power of this small enhancement. From today on, "anonymous browsing" is a VIP feature.
->
the texts for the "on mouseover quick text previews" are not translatable yet. Please... if there would be an option to change the default font awesome icon, that would be nice (css total replacement of a fa icon in the whole community is not an option). A Best of solution would be, if we could place a custom image instead of the font awesome icon in there... (png or svg with transparent background). But that would be a maximum awesome feature!   Thank you for your great work in the IPS community!
 

Not yet but it is easy enough to add
Yes it works the same as it would if you logged in anonymously with the default IPS way

Requesting:
1. When renew an advert, give user option choose others packages. In my case, I offering one week free, and possible renew free by week, but I would like not only free package option for renew, user can take others not free packages if they want, because contain others benefits.
2. After renew free package, admin and user don't received any invoice. Need for best bussiness management, free or not free, it should be generate an invoice, for site side and user side.

The way IPS made the anonymous login is a simple code but the users have to be logged in to use, To get it away they need to logout, I searched the whole default coding for the anonymous login and it won't allow it any other way, I will continue to find a work around for it, Maybe force logout or something but like most of my other things I come to a halt with, I will more than likely find a way.

Hi Adriano,
I just rechecked the raffles app and have detected some issues and I would also like to suggest some enhancements.
Bugs:
If you add a group manually to a raffle, after the group is added, you are redirected to another page. But if you then go back in your browser (by using the browser back button), it has added ALL community members to the raffle. It shouldn't act like this. If single members are added manually
# then the app permissions are not honored. F.e. I only allowed admins for testing, but it also adds members, which don't have access to the app, too.
# then the maximum participants are not honored
# then the raffle restrictions aren't honored either. F.e. I add a group, but the restriction states "only members with at least 100 posts are allowed", but it selects the whole group and also members with no posts... If I create a raffle, I can't add myself. Not even via the action menu. But as soon as I add the admin group (and I'm part of this one), I will be added. I think I should always be able to add myself to a raffle. If members are added (individually or per group), they don't receive any notification Enhancements:
Please add a function to "remove ALL participators", especially for testing purposes Let the author edit the raffle restrictions after initial submission (=saving the raffle) for as long as there aren't any participators. There are a lot of cases where I require to change the restrictions again. Finetuning often happens after initial submission. "Has opted in for bulk mail" should be added as a restriction. This is one of the most important features in the community but almost never honored. The raffle could check in intervals (f.e. once a week), if the members are still opted in. If not, they should be removed. This would be extremely good for marketing purposes. Please allow "secret participants" as an option. I want to have raffles/giveaways with anonymous members. Members who own a ticket in such a secret raffle, should be displayed to admins only. Instead of displaying the member avatars and the usernames, just display a blank or black default avatar with the description "secret" I suggest to have a special raffle/giveaway type, where participants must be added manually (you can't buy paid or free tickets). Only manual additions are possible! Is there an option for "automation rules" integration already? I would like to suggest, that an action could be established with a rule: "if member x does y, then add a free ticket for this member in raffle z" Please consider these enhancements. Thanks.

Did you enable this option?

they weren't locked, When you updated they got unlocked, the button you was looking at was probably the new permission button, not the protect button, the protect button is in the dropdown menu of the item

Maybe I should of said it has been moved etc

Updated to 1.0.3
New Features
Brand new design of the shop / my items / rewards & logs pages allowing you to choose to from the default table or a nice new grid view You can now select to send a email to your chosen user ( Admin probably ) for when a custom item is redeemed saying x member bought x item you need to do what you do to award it ( Not in them words though lol ) Brand new menu in the ACP for the shop items Create categories for the items ( These categories will also show on the shops front page ) Create unlimited custom items Drag & drop each item in order of how you want them to appear in the shop, or drag them to different categories you will create Added a view purchase button to the ACP shop items showing who purchased the items and when Moved the generate purchase button to the items table so you can just select the item then click to generate a purchase Each item has it's own permission matrix to allow / disallow certain users groups from either viewing the item, buying the item or sending the item You can now charge users a % of the items value to send said item to another member Award points to users for joining a club Remove points from users who leave / get kicked from a club New shop item to allow users to be anonymous for their remaining session ( anonymous means not showing as online & session meaning until they logout ) Added a widget to show a list of users with the most points Bug Fixes
Fixed the bug where it would only add one lot of points if a user bought multiple point packages at once via commerce NOTE... WHEN UPDATING MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE ITEMS ARE LOCKED BEFORE YOU RE-SYNC THE ITEMS

As some of you have noticed, i seemed to have either abandoned my apps or just disappeared. fear not, i am still actively developing and around. the reason for radio silence, life. as some of you know i do have a job outside of my development, we took on a new contract there from several local business and were upgrading their systems, so i was quite busy (as i usually work from home, but this last several weeks, i was out in the field).
the other even that happened, like most, i have a laptop and a desktop and i also have roommates. I usually use my laptop thru out the day to do things with and at night, its the domain of my sisters children (for school) and/or my sister (for her work) and i use my desktop. however at the beginning of the year, i purchased a new motherboard and cpu (any one curious it was a ryzen 6 1600) and a new monitor (a samsung 4k tv). well after a few days, my gpu died (gtx 970) and i was forced to go back to my intel cpu/mobo to use it's onboard gpu (as ryzen doesn't have one) and i was limited to 30hz on my new monitor (and it was causing me headaches) so i was unable to work, till late in the evening (around 9pm) but that was nearing my bedtime (as i was getting up around 4am for my other job). I have finally (after almost 5 weeks in RMA) have received a replacement and my desktop back in the rotation.
so these two events left me with very limited time to keep up with everything, but i am back now. I am also looking to hire a friend of mine who is familiar with my apps, to help me out in times like this, but i will need to bring him up to speed as things like the babble chat service can be daunting to some one who is unfamiliar with how it operates.
Over the next few weeks i will be addressing the outstanding issues and reports i have. monday i will be releasing a updated versions of downloads plus to address a few issues that have cropped up in it and to introduce a few new features that have been requested.

v1.2.0 released:
What's New in Version 1.2.0  
Added a check to awards page for permission "view" @Cyboman Fixed Hover popup bug @Cyboman @iacas Added an option to enable/disable guest permission to view awarded member list @Cyboman Category awards count now exclude disabled awards @Cyboman Fixed "no reason" bug for Rules app integration  Fixed a bug with "Clone Award" that not reset awards count Minor fix Please make some test and report me any problems, I did not have much time to test.

Hm... I change in furl.json profile path to
"real": "app=core&module=members&controller=profile&tab=node_gallery_gallery", and now default tab is albums
but the tab head is not first 
If user has not albums, default tab is activity, that's ok

Already requested this, too. Good to see, there are more members wishing this enhancement. I think many really need this feature and it helps doing legal commerce... I noticed you can still email any member, even after the classified has expired... As soon as bots find out this email possibility, you have big problems. On the other side, every competitor could easily email to former members that haven't been online for ages.... This can easily become a big problem.
 

Hello, how I can disabled contact by email and the custom message field? I would like give only private message option and comment tab, ways that can help user using more site.

Hi Taman,
I have a few requests concerning the features:
Please let us make the ticker disposable for specified groups. The ticker is nice, but it can also start to annoy its viewers after looking on it for hours. A feature like "dispose of the ticker until new content is added to the ticker" would be fine. Or "dispose for 1 day" would be fine also. I detected a bug: on the forum index (which is my homepage) everything looks fine and the ticker works as expected. If I switch the page, f.e. to the calendar, the ticker also shows up fine, BUT: After the first ticker cycle was displayed, starting with the second cycle, the text isn't faded in character for character from right to left anymore. The whole <li> element is faded in as soon as the gap left to the start/pause panel is big enough to fade in the whole <li> element at once. Until then there is a long empty gap which doesn't look very nice... Thanks.

"Hover box" issue fixed too. @iacas @Cyboman

yes, please. Commerce, paid downloads, personal member stores, events business, points commerce, TAX per app and per app content category and accounting really require more attention for business customers. It hurts me having to realize most of these requirements in WordPress... I would love to do more community businesses directly with IPS instead of leading my members away to WordPress.

The responsibility of IPS is imho, that IPS empowers their customers with "globally required" features they can use to achieve their own business model. Obviously the legal issues, warranty, dispute management... belong to the site admin. For most of this, you contact your lawyer. But your lawyer can't integrate a "checkmark field" for you, he only tells you that you require it in 25 different places for different statements. And not only you, all sellers in the whole european territory.
What I ask to be done by IPS (I know, my only possibility is to ask and wait... ), is integrating some minor optimizations.
For example
Button fields
-> if we could put a obligatory checkmark field in front of ANY button in the community, with a linked text, the community software would gain extremely power for legally correct contracting.
O I have read the contract details (linke to xy contract) "required" O I acknowledge that a digital product is excluded from our refund policy, as the contract will be completed immediately "required" [BUY NOW] or [CREATE NEW TOPIC] .... Account credits
-> As soon as it comes to withdrawals, we require more informations, like the tax percentage applied on each position. Withdrawals should have more accounting informations (exact items, their netto and brutto value, resident country), and this is as simple as adding some fields to an overview page with downloadable lists.
I suggested multiple times without response, to create an IPS Club "EU Trading" for such affairs. I would share my knowledge too. I have special custom plugins in action, and others code theirs too. Many advancements could be done as an empowered team. And the problems (that should be optimized in the core) could be communicated directly to IPS with a common voice.... All of this would lead to better results.

Exactly, you are handling the sale and you want to make money with it. There is responsibility involved. You are the provider. You can’t just say: you guys figure it out if something goes wrong (chargebacks, lost deliveries, illegal activities and so on.)
Not to speak of the technical implementation. I can’t even begin to imagine how something like shipping would be handled, if any community user can ship any kind of product and any number of products from any point on the globe to every other country. There are of course many web stores that can pull this off, but they do nothing else and might invest millions in venture capital to develop all this. There is so much more involved than just to add a button for users to sell products. Technically and legally. 

We are starting a project to implement this in our community, because as mentioned one of the friends above, relying solely on advertising and programs like Google AdSense that every year has been paying less, is close to unfeasible our site and I see that this is a reality of many communities, not just our own.
We've researched and found systems like Sharetribe and Arcadier that charge you monthly for you to build a P2P system of stores.
https://www.sharetribe.com/
https://www.arcadier.com/
The problem with choosing a solution like this is that our users would have to create a second account to access this platforms.
It would be great to have this option directly on Invison because users would have direct access to this service without having to create a second access account.
I see that the Marketplace here already works very much like this systems, I believe that it would only need some adaptations, no?

@TheJackal84 I'm totally teased... I hope that you planned the reverse for the logs (list instead of grid)

Little teaser for the new update
Change the shop and my items view from the table it has now or to the new grid view

Why again would a proper robots.txt file NOT be included with this app? After running a site continuously for over 20 years, and using multiple applications over those years, a simple robots.txt file would have prevented many issues I've had with this app, for example google's bot clicking and indexing the report button and other URL's that probably should never have been in the index. Why would it be up to each user to search this out or try to create one, when this is clearly a job for the software's designers?
Also, the sitemap is very important to the google index, just as site speed is. Blaming indexing issues on Google's Fred or any other update is not productive when your sitemap clearly has issues that need to be fixed--or are we still arguing about that?
Not to go off topic, but this is related also....since the Fred update I suspect that some of you here are also being hit hard with site speed issues, and google's penalties for those appear to be increasing. IPB's position on this so far has been that their software doesn't need to address this (in my case they were happy to blame my site's ads, as they've kind of done in this thread too, which were not the root cause of my speed issues, and in fact were totally unrelated because I serve them asynchronously). My site had dropped greatly in rank until I had to find workarounds that should just be built into the software. After implementing some fairly easy changes, you can see my rank improve (I did this around a year ago):
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/celiac.com Site speed test: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.celiac.com%2Fgluten-free%2Fforum%2F13-celiac-disease-pre-diagnosis-testing-amp-symptoms%2F Compared to an "out of the box" version of IPB (I noticed that IPB has blocked the site speed site from working on their forum): https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fiat-lancia.org.rs%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3F%2Ftopic%2F75871-kazna-za-izlaženje-iz-auta%2F My point here is that the search engine health of your forum, and your users' forums, are far more important than all the new bells and whistles that you keep adding (no complaints about new features, just that you should re-think your priorities). I am seeing some improvement already in the number of pages in google's index after making the changes recommended here by Upgradeovec, so far I've gone up from the 114,000 low point, to 130,000+ in a short time. I hope this improvement continues.
For the rest of you--look into those site speed issues! I am no expert and used the help of Adlago to get my site scoring well on google's speed test.

I agree with @opentype I don't think IPS changed much but what I do think is that there is room for improvement. Probably an opportunity for someone to come out with a paid app/plugin or two to create a more robust sitemap, add some additional SEO settings with more dynamic and adjustable meta tags to include tags, adjustable description lengths, bring dynamic keywords using tags, default keywords per forum, page titles, etc. Keywords may not be Google's thing but are still picked up by other sources. Interesting reads regarding description lengths in 2018:
https://moz.com/blog/how-long-should-your-meta-description-be-2018
https://searchengineland.com/google-officially-increases-length-snippets-search-results-287596
https://searchengineland.com/google-fundamentals-writing-meta-descriptions-not-change-longer-search-snippets-288414
I haven't looked into the IPS code that controls the current cutoff but was interested in testing this out by increasing the current dynamic description tag to see if more info is picked up and weighted better.
