Maxxius

If you are referring to the classic and custom emojis, yes they are still supported in the editor 

We didn't include them in the Icon Creator however as those images can get quite large and it can make the SVG too large after embedding them.

This is not to provide feedback on the feedback (how meta!), but to provide some conceptual philosophy around communities vs social media for other Invision Community owners.  
Social media, at its philosophical core, is meant to be 1-to-many.  Its a single user broadcasting his thoughts or feedback at large to the world ("look at this interesting thing I did today!").  It is most similar to Status Updates in IPS.  
Forums are meant to be many-to-many. It's many users who publish their collective thoughts ("what do you think about X?"). When you enter the forums, there is an intrinsic understanding that you agree to the public discourse, whether you agree with the opinions or not. You voluntarily opted in to the community at large. 
I view it like a workplace.  You may not like all of your coworkers, but you coexist because you have a unified and larger purpose.  
Targeted ignores at one person should be applied only in areas where the publication of content is meant to be 1-to-many.  This means areas such as: personal messages, status updates, private albums, private blogs.  
Targeted ignores in other areas, such as forums, don't make sense.  Just because you ignore a person doesn't mean that his contribution to the conversation - and the quotes and requotes and related conversation - will stop.  The conversation continues, and the contribution is part of the public discourse.  
In a community, the philosophy of ignore should be held to the standard of the community level, not the single user level.  Does the user break the community standards that are universal to all members? This standard is in contrast to: do I personally like or want to tolerate this other person? 
On a final note, I want to emphasize that i share these thoughts not because I'm trying to stop any feedback of Ignore.  There are some great suggestions in there! But I also think community managers need to not let technology be the go-to fix of human behavior all of them time.  Community management is ultimately people management more than tech management. Sometimes we need to talk - openly and bravely - about tolerating people we don't like in the pursuit and conversation of a larger goal.

Not sure how difficult this would be to implement but.
For the CMS/Pages application: The ability to choose different schema types for different databases and pages, such as an about page, using to json-ld generator. 
Also since different schema types have different properties, the ability to match/ choose schema properties with custom field types. 
This is similar to how yoastSEO and similar WordPress SEO plugins works.
I'm not sure if this is fully possible with the Google data layer but that seems a bit complicated to implement.

Hi,
My name is David. I run a side business called Mountain Interactive and frequently browse forum pages around Invision community. I've used Discord mainly for my community with over 34k+ Members. I am more attracted to running a website (forum) instead for communication as it is a more safer and enjoyable way, discord feels too corporate and doesn't give you enough room for customization. Now, I used to use Xenforo and left because they made an error while cloud hosting my site and I lost pretty much all my site data and subscribers which is really important when you're making $20,000 a month and need to ensure that your billing is working as normal every single day. They offered me $500 credit and told me that's all they could do 💀.  

Now, with that out of the way. I love Invision community for a lot of reasons but I do highly recommend you guys do not choose to go full corporate robot mode. A lot of things I like about Xenforo were that they had such a big addon community and it felt more sociable aside from how IPS Boards feel. My biggest recommendation and advice is to keep a balance between serving those corporate communities and also little guys like us, who love add-ons, and configuring our websites to the fullest potential possible.  I'm super excited to see Invision Community 5, It's been really hard to push my community from Discord to a forum software because anyone who like me, was born in 2004 and later isn't very familiar with forums. 

Thank you for your hard work!

Sincerely,
David

The missing <li> elements issue is something I reported a few days ago:
 

I honestly believe you should concentrate into achievement enhancements and discontinue this mod. Supply a converter if people need it.

There is already a replacement from Adriano: https://www.sosinvision.com.br/index.php?/file/290-videos-directory/ including converter

At a fundamental root, every activity we partake in begins with the desire to add value to our lives. Mastering a second language or instrument takes a lot of time but the value is adding ability or knowledge.
We join communities to add value. It might be making friends all over the world who love running when you don't have much support for that activity in your 'real-life' friends, or it might be finding the best ways to use a piece of software you love.
Back in the 2000s forum communities were founded to bring people together over a shared interest forming small villages in a landscape of rolling hills and pasture. Forums were really successful because they were peerless. If you had an interest in ABBA, opening up a forum about ABBA gave people a space to talk about Swedish 70s pop and take deep dives in platform shoes and crumbling marriages. They gave an outlet for a passion that your friends in the pub had no interest in. Other's in similar situations would flock to this site, delighted with a space to talk about their disco obsession. As the community owner, you didn't need to try too hard, it was all Gimme, gimme, gimme!
20 odd years later and we have crowded mega-cities of non-stop conversation about every topic you want to know, and many you don't. Social media is better designed for informal conversations and finding like-minded people due to its huge reach and focus on personalities over topic.
Forums still very much have a place but they need to provide immediate value to keep and grow membership. That doesn't mean social forums will fail, there are many good examples of them but it means for a new community there needs to be a strong reason to visit and once you have a visitor, you need to give them what they want as quickly as possible. We're all time-poor on the internet with so many apps and dopamine hits to have.
You can build a social community around a support community, or a community that is designed to solve a problem later.
Content may be king, but value is definitely (the dancing) queen. Get those both right, and the winner takes it all.

While this post has received far less the reactions than the prior feature announcements on theming, this post is far more consequential to the future of our communities and a vision of the future. It speaks to an evolving shift in strategy and purpose behind our online communities. 
IPS talks about the value of social conversation, where users use humor and are rewarded with Reactions.  But for users who want to cut out the social conversation and jump directly to informative and insightful answers, users can use Helpful and Best Answer signals. 
IPS has been building upon these signals of expertise, authority, and solutions for many years now. The future is clear: independent communities cannot solely rely upon social conversation, when larger and better platforms ( Reddit, Facebook, Discord, etc) can host social conversations infinitely better. Pivoting into an authority site that provides support and solutions might help you survive.

What happens when: 
- 2 or more posts with the same max number of helpful reactions? 
- no posts are marked as Most Helpful yet? 
How does that display in the Most Helpful comment box? 
How does all of this integrate with the Topic Summary? This is like a separate way of summarizing the topic.  

Oh yeah! Adriano saves the day!

I really like this feature setup!  As an end-user on platforms like Reddit and those "Q&A sites", I always find myself seeing the best answer or most upvoted answer and still wanting a bit more information!  This seems like a great solution for that issue for my end users now.
P.S. I still hope articles are redone to look a bit nicer without 3rd party tools on a homepage.  I'll beat that dead horse all day here 😅  

Forum platforms have a wide range of uses, from helping with support to sharing knowledge, ideation and social interaction.
Topics can span years, and once the initial explosion of replies has passed, the topic lives on in local search and search engines for future viewers to discover and get value from.
However, it's not always easy to get the best content from a very long topic.
You may have noticed that when you come to a topic seeking an answer, some replies are less than helpful.

How do I fix my Apple Watch? Like this!
It's common to find a lot of social content mixed in with useful replies. Jokes, GIFs and off-topic musings are all great while the topic develops organically in real-time. Having fun is critical to feeling a sense of belonging in a community. However, those coming to the topic a little later, say from a link Google has suggested, just want to get the useful content in the fastest way possible.
That's where 'helpful' voting comes in.

A very helpful reply
Invision Community can already mark a single post as the best solution for that topic. Still, not every topic gets a definitive answer, and some community strategies resist quickly marking a post as the best answer to encourage more discussion rather than effectively ending it.
Even when you have a definitive answer, there is often value in other highly rated posts offering more context, alternative solutions and more thorough explanations.
With Helpful voting, your members are encouraged to flag which posts they find helpful in the topic. When enough votes are added to a single post, they are suggested as a possible answer. You can also tune out the noise and view the most helpful replies only.
This is a powerful way to get the very best content from a topic in a short space of time.

Want to just view the most helpful replies? No problem.
If you eventually choose to mark a post as the definitive answer, the suggested post will be replaced with the answer you choose, but you can still see the posts voted as helpful to gain further context.
The helpful voting works independently from reactions, which tend to cluster around social content. Social media conditions us to add a like or funny reaction to content that gets an emotional response. Indeed, a lot of the most highly reacted content is funny content. Social reactions are valuable when building connections between community members but often don't reflect what is the most useful content.

The suggested most helpful post threshold is configuration via the Admin Control Panel.
Helping your members find the best content within topics helps them do more in your community with less time.
Forums continue to evolve, and while social content helps develop the community, content that solves problems and helps others is the rocket fuel you need to keep members and attract new audiences.
Helpful voting also feeds into picking Community Experts, a new feature for Invision Community 5, but we'll talk about that in a future blog.

I am in negotiations with CodingJungle and will probably support this file from now on. I would wait a bit to see if it confirms or not.

I can upgrade it for you guys to the latest IPS4. Just PM me.

This looks really, really good. I'm so glad to see new CSS underpinning everything - about time! Automatically creating color palettes from main colors is lovely too. While we worked towards some of these changes with v4 it was always difficult without breaking the entire ecosystem. I'm happy you've managed to get a clean break.

It's also worth noting that the removal of JS and CSS removes render blocking items, whereas cover photos are additional bandwidth but do not stop the page from rendering until loaded.

Getting some great quotes for the marketing material, thanks!

That quote is going straight into the top of our marketing.
Also, may I recommend:

Honestly, though during the initial building phases back in early summer we used to have a weekly sync meeting with Ehren as he's in Australia and everyone else is not and he'd take us through concepts, and ideas and we'd all just say 'wow' for about 20 minutes.
Now I just send him badly annotated screenshots and broken HTML I mangled at 2am his time while he's sleeping.

Hey Joel,
1. The advanced search page is still available. The search modal is just an "enhanced version" of the drop-down filter menu which we currently use in version 4.
2. We'll have a lot more information on this in a future update 🤫 But to answer your question, they're FA 6 icons.
3. Correct, this is static. You could use your own javascript code to target the element and change the text every x seconds, but it's not a feature which is coming with version 5.
4. "Focus rings" for focused elements are very important for keyboard users. It's definitely not for power users or developers, but rather users who find it difficult to browse your site with a mouse. Imagine a condition which affects motor control such as Parkinson's disease, or someone who has a broken arm - both of those users would likely find it more convenient to browse using the TAB key instead of using a mouse.
Focus rings only appear when pressing the TAB key on your keyboard (they won't appear when clicking with a mouse), so they've been added purely to improve accessibility for those who need them. Accessibility took a back seat in version 4, however we've placed a higher priority on it with version 5 and will be improving it further in future updates. This is a desktop only feature, but will also work on iPads if a bluetooth keyboard is connected.
5. Currently hard-coded, but customization is currently on my "would be nice to have list". Certainly something to consider.

It is worth noting that
The monthly releases, for the most part, are exactly what you have requested there 🙂 

A final supported release is unlikely before 2024 just because we are heading into three consecutive months where there are holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year) so releasing a brand new version would increase workload at a time where we want our team to relax and enjoy those holidays. I've patched releases on Christmas Day before and it's not the best time. 🙂 
I think we can expect a public preview and some beta releases before then, though.
