There's currently no option to set icons being maskable or not.
And IPB, by default doesn't set the maskable attribute.

Google Lighthouse Audit as such doesn't rate the PWA setup as optimized.

Would be great to either set it by default in the manifest file, or add an option for us to set the maskable attritbute ourselfs.

Of course, this isn't just about Google Lighthouse Rating improvement, but it also allows us to mask the icon 😉

Please revert the new change i.e. forcing users to post reviews for rating. For ex: We have rating on maps.

It's annoying for everyone to post reviews to rate their map. Eventually users are forced to post junk reviews, just for rating. I have no idea why IPS makes some changes and forces it upon their customers. Please revert the change so we can continue to rate without review. 
For those who need it, just simple add a toggle option in ACP. 
PS Now to just rate, I will have to deal with bogus reviews which doesn't make sense. Thanks.

So far so good!
One comment I'm getting frequently, that I believe others have mentioned, is the ability to show what Offers have been submitted, so other members can outbid one another versus blindly submitting an offer. Thoughts on that?
Appreciate the hard work on this one overall! Super powerful. I'm in love. I'll circle back in the coming days as I learn more if that's alright 🙏 💜 

Hi, is there a way to make Twitch embeds for on 4.4 version again?
 

Interesting idea. What would be an example of this? To celebrate a holiday or event? 
 
Reminds me of Facebook 😅

Temporary photos. Allow photo stick for x hours / days before reverting. Frames preset frames that superimpose over your current photo

This is a very old version from 2015, shouldn't you update it?

Ignore those instructions just download the zip file (scroll to the bottom of the page), but don't unpack it.  Go to the ACP and head for Customisation/Editor/Toolbars (see below):

 
Once in there click the 'Add Button' button lol

Now you will see that you can upload the zip file you downloaded.

It will only take a couple of seconds to upload.
The button will appear in the tray at the bottom of the screen - just drag it onto the editor toolbar where you want it.  Clicking on the button whilst in the editor toolbars section will allow you to set permissions as to where you want it to be used and who can use it.
You're done - next time you access the editor around the site the button will appear and you can add as many as you want to a page or topic.

I was indeed surprised when I saw that this is not a default core setting. Disabling reputation for offtopic forums seems like a reasonable idea.
Thanks to Adriano he make a plugin. But it really should be a per forum setting: enable reputation yes/no.

4.5 upgrade to is out of the question. completely. 😕
Only to 4.6 when it leaves beta stage and gets more builds like 4.6.5 etc.

hi, it would be nice to make it so that custom added emoticons show up after lets say animals and nature category instead of being at the very end?
what I'm trying to suggest is to let us order the emoji categories however we like. not only the newly created emoji categories but all of the  categories.

I think this is better as a plugin.
It's a seriously infected issue that will cause division in the user base. Personally I would never add it, unless my community is based around a community that think this is important. The reason for that is that it is pretty much a safe bet that people will behave just as bad as on Twitter and I think we have enough trolls to worry about to not add strife amongst our members if we can prevent it.
I am all for expressing yourself and adding whatever labels you feel is appropriate to your community, but this is what custom fields are for and this is what plugins should be used for in my opinion.

I know it isn't but let's just say that in old days when I was selling LT translation only roughly 5% asked whether ACP was translated. People mostly care only about front-end and that's a fact which I'm stating from my past experience. Other translators are free to do what they desire.

Like this, @Jordan Invision:
@media screen and (min-width: 980px) { body[data-pageController='ourpicks'] div[data-role='patchworkItem'] div.cPromoted { height: 450px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #232323; } }  

Put the rule I gave you awhile ago inside the rule I gave you yesterday. I would draw you a pretty code box but I am on a phone.
 
 

@media screen and (min-width: 980px) { put your relevant rules in here }  
 
 

Hello,
I am in the process of optimizing our install with the help with Google's Lighthouse, and trying to improve our score in that tool. 
Today I succesfuly worked on a issue that I suggest IPS to address in an upcoming release: multiple-resolution logo images.
Here is the warning that we got using lighthouse:

Following the suggestions decribed here: https://web.dev/serve-responsive-images/ and here: https://web.dev/codelab-density-descriptors/, I decided to create three logo images for our install at sizes 460x77 (1x), 920x154 (2x), and 1380x280 (3x). I uploaded them to a new folder (/uploads/logos/), and adjusted the HTML code at the core > front > global > logo template to:
<a href='{setting="base_url"}' id='elLogo' accesskey='1'><img src="{$logo}" srcset="/uploads/logos/logo-cdh-1x.png 1x, /uploads/logos/logo-cdh-2x.png 2x, /uploads/logos/logo-cdh-3x.png 3x" sizes="460px" alt='{setting="board_name" escape="true"}'></a> Note: I uploaded the 1x version as the logo in the template's settings page.
After this change, our logo looks much crispier and also we got rid of the above warning. In fact, our "Best Practices" score inscreased from 86 to 93! 🙂

I really hope that this helps other administrators who are looking into ways to improve their community's performance, and I hope IPS can make adjustments to fix the recommendations presented by Lighthouse to improve the overall score of our websites.
Enjoy! 🙂
Gabriel.

I was supposed to write about it 🙂
The logo on the mobile version is slightly blurry, a few versions would solve the case, I think.

Developing a resource for this now:

Should be out in a couple of days, depending on the approval queue time.

To recap:
You do not need to enable the new rules, badges and ranks. There is an option pre-upgrade that asks you if you want to switch to the new system or not. If you choose not to, then you retain the existing ranks you already have.


The upgrade will also move any custom titles across to a new custom profile field.

If you want to show the custom member title under the user's photo in a post, then just switch on these custom field settings which are off after the upgrade.


 
 

It's actually very easy to reconfigure Our Picks - starting with a custom block as @Nathan Explosion suggested.
You just need to take a deep breath @breatheheavy 😉 and get to grips with the default block code and reconfigure it to suit.  A few days learning CSS, in particular flex, grid and selectors, pays considerable dividends on the front end. 
Background.
We've used promoted items as the basis of our (still! in development ) homepage. The user can reconfigure the view from a simple list, to a grouped view as required - preferences are stored in cookies. A filter (buttons on desktop and dropdown on mobile) allows individual content types to to selected. It's not finished yet (currently considering  implementing Google street view for the jobs section) and for the home page we hope to end up with something close to the Apple News mobile view. Anyway, a few in dev screen grabs below. It's almost exclusively CSS grid based which allows items to easily span multiple columns. So for example you could get featured promoted items to span x columns simply by applying a class at the item level and adding the appropriate css. You can see span (row and column) working in the group and mobile screen shots below.
The grouping feature we provided requires individual items to be wrapped in a container on page load (jQuery wrapall). It could be done in the custom block but I am a better JS coder than I am PHP. Morphing animations between configurations (not shown here obviously) are provided by the excellent Greensock Flip plugin.
This is the home page as it stands. Note filter and grouping options. Global menu location and styling still in flux.
 

 
 
This shows same filtered on Classifieds. Same approach will be used for clubs and blogs home pages.

 
 
This shows filtering and grouping. Rode Podcaster is shown as primary item in this case as it's first in the selection. That's a simple css choice. It could also be selected if the underlying content was featured, pinned etc.

 
 
Here's the mobile view showing selected topics. Getting closer to the Apple News style as mentioned earlier. Note the HBO topic spans to 100% given it's also a featured item.

 
I'd say we are about 3/4 through development, although not all the remaining 25% is a go live requirement. Note btw, none of the above items are finished in terms of final appearance, line clamping, call to action etc.
I'll upload our jobs page in a week or so if anybody is interested. It sits on Datatables which we've tested with 5000 rows sitting in the browser -> offers user configurable real time searching 🙂  and filtering, as well as sorting and row and column level grouping - all of it exposed in a rich event driven CSOM.  We currently show all currently selected jobs (and soon to be directories of film studios etc) on a custom MapBox implementation but it's running out of steam, hence the likely and very reluctant £££ move back to Google Maps.
If any of the above is useful I'm happy to share techniques when I have time.
 

The 4.6 release now moves all existing custom titles to a new custom field.

😍
I managed to make them a bit more uniform by hiding the captions that are included when Promoting. 
However, I still tend to think when I view this my eyes go all over the place not knowing where to look first. On mobile (which most people use mobile to read my community) it's a lot easier to digest because it's all in one column. I'd love to mirror that magic on desktop as well. 
OP is a really powerful way to display content across the community. I can't believe I'm only just now realizing I should do it this way lol 🤦🏼‍♂️ 

Thanks for responding! I moved the topic.
Regarding the above... I wish I was a code ninja and knew how to do this 😅
I can dream it, but in terms of implementation I am a baby goat.
