Is this a likely addition to 4.5? I agree it is much needed.

It would be cool if we could tag usergroups like you can with individual users so everyone in that usergroup gets a notification of that post. Perhaps have it so only certain groups can do this, as I can imagine it could be abused if everyone has access. It would be handy as an Admin to @subscribers in posts for them for example, like subscriber only contests or info.

Will there be any? I've always found the gallery quite cumbersome and with many users it's hard to navigate and find decent content.

Excellent step considering 70% of my users are on mobile. It would be excellent if it could be white label, so we can have a custom app logo / shortcut if possible and other branding. Also maintaining monetisation is important.

I would also like to know how to setup Adsense Crawler for login required areas. or... a way of disabling adverts in login areas so I don't have Adsense creating an empty box.

Exactly this. Well I hope so! Have IPB mentioned the future for mobile support?

I've had an IPB forum for 15+ years, the largest community in Europe of its niche, 45,000 members, 2million+ posts thousands active daily in its peak. This was awesome in the desktop era but my forum has taken a decline and I'm not going to point fingers at social media here because I feel I can genuinely compete against them. It's the mobile compatibility that's killing my community. All these new features are great, Invision as a company is at its prime right now, I love the updates, the new features, the support and the articles! Please keep this up! 🙂 However, 70% of my visitors are on their damn mobiles. I know the struggle of mobile systems reducing what you can see on a screen and the functionality... but Invision, you need to be smarter! All these new features don't get a ray of light on your mobile theme. What's the point of gamification, post counts, promoted content, subscriptions, rank/member group promotions etc if members don't see or easily access them? 😞 It just acts as a guest book forum from early 2000. You see posts and you make posts. As I already said, you are pumping out some fantastic features but only to the minority of my audience and I can't be the only one who has similar usage figures on mobile platforms? I'm going to think of some suggestions on improving this and post later but for now, food for thought. Thank-you. 🙂

I've used IPB for over 10 years and ever since the beginning had a "classifieds" forum area, where people could post topics to sell things. Still, I use this in the same way but feel I'm not making the most of v4.3 and all it has to offer, what would be recommend to make this better? Is there new ways of displaying topics, or am I best creating a database? Is it all SEO and mobile friendly? Members don't like change, so I'm just looking at the best options with what the latest version of IPB has to offer! Thanks in advance. ?

It would be nice to see more priority on this. It's not some freeware/opensource package mod I downloaded, I paid for a system that should be powerful and customizable, it just feels like corners have been cut on very reasonable features. And also fix the ridiculous subscription system. When a user has purchased a subscription package and it expires, if they try to add it to their basket they get this message: I understand this as they must pay through the invoice but it would be a lot better if this screen redirects to the payments for invoice renewal, instead of an error that is confusing to the user. Both this inconvenient address and invoice issue makes subscriptions extremely inefficient compared to before, as others have said the impact is noticeable. Subscriptions and digital content don't require an address. We are not posting anything.

It would be nice to see a few more options to the mass mail feature to control who receives a mail. Some I can think of: Member Post count Expired Subscription date from Commerce Custom Profile Field filters

But would an option have an impact to your forum? No... it wouldn't. So I don't understand why you are against feedback that would benefit others.

Read the thread so we don't go around in circles. PayPal provides address information if required, there is no need to enter it again when it's already available, it's an unnecessary step. A lot of online stores use PayPal to do this.

I have an articles homepage, that automatically does a topic in the forum when submitted. It displays the attached image in the article but not in the topic, it would be nice to have an option to embed this image in the topic somewhere too.
