Well done! Looking great so far 🙂

Is there a copyright showing on this app and if so where. Not sure if the examples I have seen have copyright removed.

I see that Facebook are trialling paid groups - where members pay a subscription to Facebook which then goes to the site owners less a percentage.

Both. IPS upgraded for me, then I am upgrading the apps. Some are fine, others are failing big time and some have the odd issues. Incidentally when I ticked and unticked various people, whilst the number of items being selected didn't alter, the number to confirm that I wanted to delete was much higher.

I am going to say 3.4.6 - it was 5 years old that is all I know! Just ran the upgrade . I'll delete from there. Thanks 🙂

Show twice in browse markers. So I assume I am safe to delete from the Browse Markers section?

Just upgraded to the latest version. All looks fine, except all the pins are doubled. I have two of each slightly apart. Any suggestions?

You will need IP.Commerce - you can purchase this from your client area.

None of this is new. I've been running forums for well over 20 years (before @Matt was born 😉 ) and so I've seen this debated multiple times over the years. I am also an admin and moderator on some quite large facebook groups - despite some of them having 25,000 plus members they are slowing down big time. I now use them purely for business purposes & holiday snaps and nothing more. There is no organisation with social media - Facebook is trying it with tags, but very few people use them. What is harder is for new forums to break ground and be a large success. I've seen forums attempted to draw in people off the back of very large facebook groups and they have failed. Maybe it works better in some fields, but at the end of the day the forum will only work well if it has a good website behind it, not as a stand alone. Of course there will always be exceptions. But content is always king. What is needed is good interaction so that it is easy to use all of the social media platforms in conjunction with a forum. Post on a forum and be able to instantly have your posts show up on all the social media for example. Forums will never die - sure brands might come and go, and I've seen a few over the years, but they will be there for as long as the internet is. As long as they can keep up with modern technology, there is a future. They will outlast me, that is for sure.

Takes me seconds - but then I am a member of Nominet (UK domains) and a registrar for other domains. So I guess I shortcut most of the restrictions made. Problem is it means I buy too many domains - mainly property related these days.

Maybe I posted this in the wrong forum 🙂

Regarding old licences..... A couple of questions Is it correct that renewals are now compulsory for any purchases (if you want to use V4.x) or if you wish to not renew and therefore not use them you must purchase them again if you change your mind? What about old community suite renewals? How do they work? What about premium support - if this is not renewed is this lost for ever and has to be repurchased?

Would be nice to have the ability to have repeating events on say the first Tuesday of each month which is how most regular events happen.

Great, but without repeating events on say every 3rd Monday the calendar is not used to the full.

Looking forward to when the calendar gets a bit of love.
