I'll look into getting the reply added at the bottom like the display is done. I didn't really look too deeply into sorting but will see if it can be sorted differently.
I'll also take a look at if moderator options can be added but still maintain a compact design.
I think I got you. I'll include for next version.

I believe that when you first put a reply, it appears at the top, but if you refresh your screen, it should put them in the order you want them.
At least that is the way mine appears to work

Yes, I think so.  The reason I don't like it being fixed there is because I need something else above it, so being a widget I could move it further down the sidebar, or it could be left off if somebody doesn't want it.  None of the main IPB applications have anything like that, the sidebar is available to be used however somebody wants.
Yes, just like the Gallery page - I think that would look great so that "media" type applications have the same look & feel.
In the admin section you could have checkboxes for the blocks the user wants on the main page ie. Categories, New, Featured - perhaps with the abilty to change sort order.  Then if somebody has loads of categories they can choose whether or not they want to show them or not, if they like how it looks or not.
Another option could be to allow user to feature either videos or categories, so if they have a lot of categories they could just choose the main ones they want to feature.

So just a direct copy of the fixed sidebar categories block into a widget? I was toying with that idea when I first built the home page. Might be an issue if you've got a lot of categories though. I can include a widget next version that is just a copy of the current block if you want?
Like the Gallery albums at the top, like how it shows the latest image from each album? That actually might be a better option and more media focused then the current approach. Let me know if you have any further thoughts on this. The only issue might be if someone had a lot of categories, might need to be some kind of cut off that will link to the view all categories page.
Have you considered the Tutorials app? I try to avoid as much as possible releasing new apps if someone has already built it.

Thanks for that, I have now set it up like that and will let you know if I still have issues

Adds status replies and add reply support to the "Recent Status Updates" widget, similar to how IPB 3.4 worked.
Features:
Expand/collapse toggle for displaying status replies.  Add status reply form and save using ajax. Set a status reply limit before directed to members profile page. Enable or disable text truncate for status replies. Optional setting to include status reply reputation. Modifies the existing core widget, just upload plugin and your done.

Excellent! Now I am one step closer to upgrading to 4. Will get when I do, great work!

Great work @Mike John

I can setup a demo board if you would like?

I did the update and everything is OK. What is this extra option Video - adds a new title and URL address - what is their purpose?

I'm aiming to have the next version out before the end of this week. If it is delayed further, I'm more then happy to put together some file edits or apply the patch for you.

Bingo!, through all these experiments I'm starting to get the hang of ips coding.
Thank you ipsPad_half did the trick.

How about replacing with ipsPad_half ?

No v3.0.3 should be right to upgrade from.

Happy to wait if a new release is not far off. Many thanks.

I'm not using Facebook, so I'm not sure. I think they were spam accounts though that were not getting fully deleted due to my settings. I've added a question and answer to the registration form, and it seems to have stopped. So I don't believe it was anything to do with the app. Thank you for responding so quickly though, I appreciate it!

Are you using v2.4.4? If you had a SSO/Facebook signup that enters their display name back is flagged as a spam account, IPB deletes that member straight away. But the very latest version of the app should exclude those accounts with no usernames for now.

That worked, thank you.

New version uploaded that should fix this now.
