From what I gather, it's not quite the direction we're taking IPS into at the moment. There's some other major things that we need to focus on for the time-being,  however I do personally see a lot of value with it 🙂 
It'll def stay on my mind and hopefully I can inspire some change 🙏 

This would be amazing! 
Members Shop application looks like it does most (if not all) of this, but for something this major it would be great to have it natively built and integrated into IPS, as I can see some mixed reviews on the third party integration.   

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.

There's so much to unpack here, but I love where your head is at. I put your feedback into our system and will have some eyes take a look. I'd imagine this would be a huge undertaking, but I do think it'd elevate Invision in a pretty profound way. @liquidfractal

I looked into this myself before.
 
There is a pretty awesome ckeditor plugin to make tables more powerful (and beautiful), I'm not sure if it does responsiveness as well, but unfortunately it doesn't work with IPS as doesn't support a required CKEditor plugin. 
Perhaps allowing HTML posting by yourself and just using code is the better solution? Different path, but that's what I think i'll be doing. Not sure if Headstand's plugin supports that...

They were not approved because they didn't follow the marketplace guidelines  (The last submission was still altering IPS core database tables)

It's a good idea when the website is in multiple languages or deals with different themes, having the possibility to create categories for clubs would simplify the life of the members.

We've had this on our internal roadmap for a while, there isn't a set release or date, but it's something we do want to do.

This deserves a bump.  I'd love to see a native Categories functionality for Clubs.  The very fact that they can be used for so many different things begs for this functionality!  All respect to thejackal's work (I have purchased several of his apps and am happy with them), IMO this is essential to have baked in to the native framework without having to pay a subscription/renewal fee (especially since according to one of thejackal's own posts the new framework seems to be creating issues for the third-party creation of categories).

Apps updated again to 2.3.3 hopefully I ain't missed nothing on this one, Once IPS check it if all good then everything should all be OK, Just to let everyone know, With all my applications and plugins when there is not one without a renewal it is basically your buying as is, i,e it works for the current version it states, there is no guarantee that there will be updates etc when IPS release major versions, sometimes there are reasons where they can't get updated like a couple I have already as it can only work using the IPS database and IPS no longer allow that, there are reasons where it is no longer feesable to keep updating them, there are hundreds of reasons why it might not get updated but you are buying it as is, but I personally like this application and will probably update it regardless, If anyone remembers the first version is was shocking lol a plugin what showed like 3 notes but like I say I like this app and use it myself, if anyone has any questions etc let me know

If the developer wants to changes pricing structure for the future – then that's fair enough and of course existing customers will have to make a choice.
However, if there is going to be a change which will affect existing customers then I think that they should be told about it and also given sufficient notice – for instance, at least six months – the period of a typical renewal.
Once again, it's all about information and transparency.

Until then, it seems to me rather unfair to effectively de-prioritise existing customers because there is a pricing decision made by the developer when he first came up with the idea of the third-party add-on and made his decisions about how he was going to price it.
Existing customers went along with the add-on and also with the pricing scheme in good faith and I think it requires a certain amount of reciprocal good faith from the developer.
So, for instance, the developer could upgrade to 4.5 and announce to existing customers that in six months time the app would not be supported any more and that the next upgrade would only be available to people who signed onto the new pricing structure – but as a gesture of loyalty to existing customers, they would not have to make the initial purchase, they would simply sign up for the renewal fees – which are generally speaking less than the initial payment.

That is something which I think is fair all round and takes into account changing circumstances for the developer, the customer, and market conditions generally.

 

In the end of the day, it’s the dev decision that will take place. But a few things are quite obvious. I have my own plan when I have to upgrade a lot of things like from 4.4 to 4.5, in this very specific order:
- Most purchased with renews
- Most purchased without renews
- Free most downloaded
It’s totally acceptable that a dev prioritize things like this. Example: you wouldn’t accept if you had paid $50 for a resource then already renewed twice ($20 each) and the dev were wasting time updating $10 resources. 

I can only speak for myself, but this is what I wanted to hear - just a basic update as to what's going on, given the length of time it's taken.  I also understand that the holiday season will slow things up on top of that.  Thanks for letting us know!

@TheJackal84, as mentioned above, there seems to be a 4.5 compatible version on your website.  As I have an account there (but did not buy it on your site), would it be possible for you to fix me up with download privileges there so I can get the most recent version (you can see in your records that I've already purchased the app)?
I'm sure this would be useful for other members who have been waiting to update Sticky Notes as well.

Charles, thank you for clearing this up! 😁

Sticky note 2.3.2  for IPS4.5    is available on personnal website : 
https://flashmodding.com/index.php?/files/file/24-sticky-notes/

@TheJackal84 - Hey bro, any update on this?

Yep...checked the file and it's still rated for 4.4.  I assume that once it's cleared for the 4.5 version those of us who have enabled version updates will get an email?

Yeah, quite honestly I'm beginning to wonder what's going on with this.  @TheJackal84, do you have an update from either you or IPS as to when the 4.5.x revision of this is coming?
