    That would be because none of them are compatible with IPS 4.6.0
    Restore the backup you took before upgrading
    Ah!!!
    @Jordan Invision right here is an example of why you should be putting in a "DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR PRODUCTION SITE UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES" comment to your post.

    Hey team, it's been 84 years (if you know you know), but...
    We're excited to announce that Invision Community 4.6.0 Beta 1 is officially live! 🎉 
    @Matt has a blog post on the way detailing all of the amazing additions, including how many commits and lines of code that were changed. A lot. The answer is a lot. 
    Just to refresh your memories, some of the biggest changes/additions include:
    Achievements (Points!) Web app and Push notifications Anonymous Posting when posting as a member Highlight Topics with replies from specific Groups Spam Improvements (And more!) It's available per request for Cloud customers or, if you're self-hosted, by manually downloading it.
    Self-hosted: please make the necessary backups before upgrading. Because this is a Beta, please understand there is an inherent risk when upgrading.
    The more information/feedback we get, the better we can optimize and improve things 🙂
    If you find something and would like to submit a bug, please do so here.
    Looking forward to hearing what you think! Sound off in the replies below.

    Dude, I'd almost buy this just because you used Black Sabbath Vol. 4 and Moving Pictures as examples! 😎
    Seriously though, one question - is Landing Page meant to give functionality to people who don't have the Pages module installed?  Are there things LP does that you can't do in Pages?

    For me, the big difference is the pre-made blocks. 
    I've owned Pages for years and still find it a bit complicated. 
    With this app, you add blocks, adjust (if desired) and go. Done & done.

    The only thing it does and can be compared with Pages is blocks. Still not a fair comparison. In this app you choose predefined blocks. Pages is way more powerful because you can create your own blocks. It has a lot of other features and it’s always better to be supported by the 1st party.
    On the other hand, if you have no interest in create pages or databases (crud basically), I wouldn’t buy Pages but that’s just me.

    Let me just say that I had given up on this app until just now, when I saw that Adriano had taken it over.  Yay!  I can install and use it with confidence now. 🙂

    Brilliant news to have Adriano take over the the support for this application.  

    The application is really useful and now that it is getting well supported, people should have no hesitation.

    And now here is a feature request! (Sorry AF!!)
    For personal notes, how about a notification sound and also a little pop-up at the bottom of the screen to tell people that they've got a sticky note?
    It would be nice to have a notification sound which is different to the standard one used on the Board.

    I mean your sales or support ticket will have a more direct and visible line of communication so it would likely be better to go that route.

    LiquidFractal got a reaction from zyx in IPB native Points System (IP.Subeconomies? IP.Points?)   
    @Jordan Invision @Joel R
    I agree with everything Joel says about gamification, and please forgive me if I speak naively as I'm not in-the-know with this stuff the way others are here, but here goes:
    I don't at all mean to diss gamification and the development of an online community, but my initial focus was on a Points system which is more overtly "business-focused" instead of focused on community development (if that distinction makes sense).  To wit: geared toward clients who come to a website in search of a particular service they are set to pay for, and not necessarily or primarily bound together by common interests which would be more amenable to things like trophies, leaderboards, new user activation, profile completion and the like.  Hence my personal preference for being able, say, to simply buy blocks of hours in the Store and have those hours immediately credited to a defined "Bank" connected with all the other goodies like email drips, notifications, possible transferability, etc.  I'll be selfish for just a moment longer and say that this would be a HUGE selling point for me (and I'll bet some others here).
    If I'm creating a distinction where none exists and the gamification we're talking about includes what I've mentioned, I'll just shut up 😄 .

    And this is especially true because there have been developers here who have simply abandoned customers and in doing so have done their part to erode trust.  I can't speak for everyone, but I know I'm consciously scaling back third-party app investments until they prove themselves...learned by experience.
    This is why simply saying that "at the end of the day it's the dev's choice" to do what they want, while true, sidelines the very important issue of customer confidence.

    LiquidFractal got a reaction from Grafidea in IPB native Points System (IP.Subeconomies? IP.Points?)   
    Perhaps this is a pipe dream, but as sub-economies have proven to be a very effective way of hijacking goal-oriented psychology I would love to see a native points system in IPB.
    In such an application one could develop different "banks" for different types of points systems depending on the nature of your website.  Examples:
    "credits" (for purchasing services, Store products, exchanging for cash donations to relevant charities) tokens (for gambling, buying bling for their online personae) hours (if you're like me, you sell hours of tuition and/or consultation) How might these points be accumulated/awarded?  Examples:
    buying blocks of tokens/credits/hours in the Store buying Store products: buy product X and get Y amount of credits in points system Z having the highest-rated answers in a Q/A Support forum having the highest reputation in a given forum Awarding points to people who invite new members to your community completing courses or other certifications Other ideas:
    Targeted emails to certain groups, or certain individuals when credits/tokens/hours are at X or 0 - time to get more!) Targeted emails to people indicating they've been awarded free tokens/credits/etc. Promotions where points are awarded under special circumstances from dates X to Y Toss tokens into a (virtual) fight pit and watch your community fight for them.  Cue the oldschool Star Trek fight music.  Dance, puppets, daaaaance! mwuahahaha) Hijacking goal-oriented psych--err, offering points could be a great way to spur development and participation in one's community.  They could also obviously be integrated into other apps (or other apps could make use of points) as part of competitions, e.g., submitting the highest-rated photos, articles, blog posts, etc.  The possibilities go on and on!
    As some know there have been a couple of third-party devs who have made Points systems, but I have come to think that if one is going to embed something like this into a community (let alone a business) I wouldn't want to trust it to anyone but the core developers for updates and stability.
    I obviously can't speak for others, but I for one would be happy to pay for this as an additional (optional) IPS module, similar to the way IP.Downloads is offered.

    OK, but nobody's debating or criticising your life choices (I'm certainly not) - but they are your choices.  If you choose to have all this stuff going on in your life, fine - but that doesn't mean paying customers don't have the right to wonder what's going on when we hear nothing for a month (which could be simply a "hold on, it's on its way" email).  I think the issue here is the radio silence - not your choice to update renewal apps first or your choice not to wait until IPS approves apps before moving on (both of which are perfectly reasonable choices to me).

    @TheJackal84 You've ended up creating a number of apps that are extremely well received by your customers and their community members, as such their continued availability and timely updates to be compatible with each new IPS update takes on an increased level of importance in their minds. The price of success.  Try to be of good cheer during these trying times.
    I agree with @liquidfractalthat the occasional Hi Folks, here's where things stand every week or so would be appreciated by your customer base.

    I agree...this would make the application a lot more customisable and powerful.
    I also notice that when you create a Notice which is, say, fixed position on a screen that you aren't able to edit it to be a floating or transparent Notice - you have to re-create the Notice.  Was this intended?  It would be nice to be able to make those edits instead of copying the Notice into a new Notice.
