I hope not.
If it has you'd be surprised how popular it is to set your own personal message below your username, instead of whatever the forum decides.
It needs to stay.

1. Tools menu can't be installed on ACP marketplace since its compatible only with 4.3... Had to download 4.3 version and try my luck. However after installing I got to click on the reported member option just to find out it brought me to mod CP and there is nothing related to reported members.
2. But the menu in the ModCP should work as long as the moderator has permissions to view reports. - I'm the ADMIN and I see NOTHING.
Lastly I renamed the file I got to see the ModCP tab for reported members, but then this happened

You need to fix this.

Except there isn't. Not on our custom theme, not on the default. Nowhere.

A very belated response - but thanks for pointing me in the right direction for those plugins.
I'll certainly take a look at both, but I still feel in the future it would be great to see more announcement options within core IPS.
For example:
Announcements via notifications Announcements via private messages Announcements as popup window Announcement where something must be agreed to / clicked / acknowledged before proceeding to use site (similar to when rules/terms change, but customisable for other uses) I realise different paid plugins can do some of these, but I am sure I can't be alone in hoping that IPS consider adding more ways to directly reach users in future versions. 

@Morgin and @Jordan Invision believe it or not people are still using this topic to setup home test sites. A few of these unfortunately, are looking for a quicker response and are still driving me nuts via email.

You can change the blog-specific image settings for the plugin from “show all” to “auto”, which will show less of the hi-res images. Unfortunately, there aren’t any thumbnails available as for Pages for example. 

I'm the developer of the group mention plugin. If it makes you feel more comfortable, the notifications itself are still done by the IPS system, it uses the same system of IPS of a single user mention.

yes, is one of the first things I will add.
 

I've also added @DawPi's new article comment sitemap:
https://www.celiac.com/sitemap_comments.php
Unless I've missed something I believe I now have ALL content in my site mapped in agonizing detail! 😅
 

You submit RSS like sitemaps, same area, they are just listed along with your sitemaps in the Google Webmaster.
https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2014/10/best-practices-for-xml-sitemaps-rssatom.html

I have run an experiment for over a month. I have increased the number of entries in one sitemap from 500 to 1500 and have added lastmod date to the sitemap index that contains the last modification date of the newest entry in the sitemap (and NOT the timestamp of sitemap generation). Result: there was a slight increase in page indexed by Google, BUT there was no change in organic search traffic. 
For me it is not worth just increasing the number of pages in index if there is no influence on traffic. That's why I have given up to "optimize" the sitemap. Can somebody here give a prove that number of pages in Google index correlates with organic search traffic from Google? I mean the traffic is the goal at the end of the day and not the number of indexed pages.

@DawPi has completed the custom sitemap application that I mentioned which handles all posts. You can see an example of it here:
https://www.celiac.com/sitemap_posts.php
but it is modeled after the existing sitemap--but this one handles just forum posts. We were not able to add a minimum word count to this application, as one person suggested, because it slowed things down and put a load on the CPU. We were, however, able to add the ability to exclude certain forums, for example my site has around 25 different forums, so I was able to exclude a general chit chat and a technical support forum that are more or less off the main topic of my site.
Whether or not this will be a benefit or liability in Google search is an open question, but I'll follow up here with any noticeable changes, positive or negative.
I believe this will have positive results, simply because we are making it easier for Google to index specific content and allow them to provide more relevant search results for any given query. Currently Google's results may send people to a topic page like this one /page/10/, and the person who searched will still have to fish on it for the specific results of their query. With all posts indexed, Google should be able to send the person directly to the content that answers their query...at least that is my hope here.
Anyone interested in this app can contact @DawPi
Here is a screenshot of the admin page:

My sitemap php offers too few indexing URLs to Google.
I used a paid online tool (03/31/2018) and created a sitemap xml that I installed in a rout directory and sent to Google.
Now the index in Google has begun to recover.

I also think there is a problem with sitemap php.

also check your robots.txt file. Good configuration looks like this:
 

I hear ya @Maxxius. Jotting down for review. 👍 

@Aldro was your problem fixed which you reported above?

Yes this is something I wanted to suggest a long time ago but forgot about it.
+1

You could use the live meta tag editor to add robot instructions to the pages which you don't want to have indexed.
 
 
That said, we made also several improvements in IPS 4.6 to remove the CSRF key from URLs

Yes. But it has many bugs.
An app with branding and all the customizations is technically not feasible, I guess or requires tons of programmers. Right now: no customizations, no monetization, no branding. All IPS communities sit in one app like TapaTalk. To have an own app for your community only, you would have to go through Google and Apple approval process to add it to their stores. You, not IPS. It costs. 
Another question: why do you need mobile app? If it is because of push notifications, they are integrated in 4.6 without mobile app. Any other reason, you would like to have mobile app? 🙂
 

Ok - the answer is no, this plugin will not assist with that because I don't know what it is.
As I said, log a ticket with IPS support. Or post the URL in the other topic you started, not this one.

I am talking to a developer about creating our own. If I can get it done, I will share it with you.

Here is my suggestion below. Please make something of it. I'm a bit tired of seeing blurry avatars in a number of my members. 😞

After converting our community to 4.5, we received almost unanimous feedback that the moving of these links was a crime against humanity. I'll be posting a free plugin on the Marketplace that restores all that is right in the world.
