Me? No. I want exactly the opposite: create polls without tie them to topics, blog entries or whatever. 
It’s pretty weird the need to create a topic to ask questions in a poll!

You shouldn‘t think about polls only in threads. We need polls in Pages, in articles, too.

@Stuart Silvester In our case,the reviews are only enabled in two databases in Pages: books (which lists our books) and courses (which lists our online courses). Maybe an option in Pages to select the kind of property, i.e. a setting that we can select the proper property (e.g., Book https://schema.org/Book or Product https://schema.org/Product), depending on the kind of database we have. I believe this would fix the issue. Just an idea. Because right now the platform lists everything as Article.

Sometimes I'd like to allow guests to vote (perhaps using ip checking to prevent people voting multiple times). 
Sure, I understand that poll results wouldn't be as trustworthy, but sometimes the whole point of a poll is to encourage people to participate. Also, it is very frustrating for a guest to click on a poll topic only to be told "sorry, you can't read the results...". Yes, this might encourage some to register, but it'd be nice to have the choice of having the option to make polls where we let everyone vote or just registered members.

One frequent complaint that I see is that every question is mandatory, which forces members to add a "not applicable" option when they have multiple questions. The poll title is a waste of time, given that there's already a topic title and poll question title I think it would be really neat if polls were attached to posts rather than to topics - that would force people to actually read the first post before answering the poll, and would allow for people to add polls in replies (and other places such as status updates) too

This database includes TOC as well 
You can install it and just apply JS and CSS to your database.  
Here is an example https://invisionify.com/fxdocs_demo/introduction/create-toc-on-the-fly-r2/

Right now, RSS import is rather clunky and you get the imports in the content as one blob.
I would like to be able to select one of XML nodes as source into a custom field when creating the import.
Maybe for example I have a custom field called "Author", then I want to match that with the XML node that hold that information. In some cases it will not be available, then I will leave that blank, or enter a default value just like you can today.
So for this to be useful I need the following:
Be able to choose to use an XML node, or set a default value. If I choose XML node, then I need to get a list of the nodes in a dropdown so I can select it For extra credit, it would also be nice to see the XML so I can see what information it contains, in case the naming of the XML nodes are confusing.
 
Anyone thinks they have a solution for this, then toss me a PM to discuss or post a reply here if you are not shy 🙂

Imagine this:
you add a whole bunch of website news RSS feeds to import to Pages app which are relevant to your niche and in english language. IPS automatically pulls the feed image and text and imports to pages database and then runs the text translation automatically lets say thru the translation service of www.deepL.com (much better than google translate from what I noticed) and leaves the entry for approval. staff member looks at the text, makes minimal corrections and hits publish  

QFT – This is a serious point.
I can handle the price increases (10 years is a long time without one, absolutely) but the way they were communicated and implemented has been... poor.
Que Sera
One other note, as mentioned above, more recent PR and community management has come across as rather shallow and insincere.
We are not children.
Some of us have dealt with death on a daily basis and are not 'funky teenagers'. If you are a business, with business prices, please endeavour to keep it business-like, with a business-like respect for your customers' intelligence.
Thank you.

I knew the prices would rise with this site relaunch, but I expected more a generous correction for inflation for new orders (not renewals). But the changes are far from slight. And for people like me who have many licenses, it actually threatens my entire business, because the price change is multiplied by the number of licenses. And the new terms make it all even worse. For my oldest license, I had an upcoming renewal of $85 as the last payment in this financial year. Now that jumped to $310—well over 300%! Yes, it’s for 12 months, but I still need to pay it NOW without having earned this money through the site or even planned for it. And even if would manage with this one site, I certainly can’t manage it for 5 self-hosted licenses and their upcoming renewals. 
And it didn’t had to be this way. There is the established system of grandfathering existing prices while only charging more for new customers for example. Or it could be a slow transition that is announced a year or two in advance, so we could have prepared for it someone. Dropping these drastic price and terms changes on us like a bomb, effective and possibly charged immediately, was a bad move. 
 
 

If we are honest, Pages is not very nice after installation. It looks like just forum sections on another way. Without photos, not inviting. But if you don't look after installing Pages and immediately install a template from @opentype or another developer right away, it's actually fine. 😉 
Seriously and @all: Where are the examples of good, beautiful pages made with Pages, to convince people like @Angel Costa or @403 - Forbiddeen?
Of course, opentype's pages https://typography.guru/ and https://www.typografie.info/ come to my mind, and Jimi Wikman's https://jimiwikman.se/. Or https://www.aspergerexperts.com/. Or https://www.npnparents.org/parenting/travel.
Which ones do you know?

It’s easy for you but not for your users.
We don’t make our website for ourselves or so that it is as easy as possible for us. We have to think from a user perspective. And there the separation is wrong in my eyes. It starts with the different UI and ends with the search function at the latest. No matter how great your articles in WordPress are - they won't be found in IPS. No matter how exciting your users content is in your community, the readers of your WordPress site will never get to know them.
If your community is really important to you and the contributions of your community users are just as important as your WordPress contributions, then they should also be found in a single search function.
Yes, Pages is very brittle. And yes, it takes some effort to change from the fancy WordPress editor or pagebuilder. But as I said - it can't be about what *we* like, it has to be about what makes the site the easiest for users to use.
Exactly my question.

Not to mention that many WordPress installations don’t stay free. If you need anything more than the core functionality, you probably will need to install plugins. So you find one, but you will soon discover, that one feature you need is only in the paid version, which you need to buy from the developer’s website as a subscription. Add a couple of third-party resources and then it will not only cost a lot of money, but also be nightmare to maintain. 

Because the standard implementation does not allow you to map fields, which I feel is crucial for this to work with databases 🙂

Two things I really would like to see are:
Pagination for database relations. As I plan to map stories to companies and articles, there will be a lot of them. Not having a pagination will make this a bit....messy. So please add 🙂 Map RSS fields to custom fields. Importing RSS into a Pages database could benefit greatly from allowing me to map the available fields in the RSS to custom fields. Right now I have to manually update all entries to map image and url, which is a tad bit annoying. That is all.

Hi @Jordan Invision
we use Pages a lot I think. On my wishlist are still
more possibilities for interaction with our community in articles - polls, surveys, forms etc. Schema.org markers as FAQ or How-to SEO features – more than meta keywords and meta description as now, but also SEO title, settings for no-follow etc. per article or Pages database entry a "Table of content" by default, which can be switched off per article additional fields for images (alt text, title, caption, credit, license, image source as URL and so on) better management and SEO options for images background images for categories as for forums grid viewtext area for category descriptions (and not only one text field) an option to show category descriptions only on category sites and not in categories overview. widgets per category and not for all categories together (yes, there's an app for that) the option to set multiple authors for one article snippet preview at least in ACP better options in menu manager to include a single entry from a Pages database (an article for example). So many menu entries are "external links" but actually "things" in Pages. Before we switched from WordPress to Pages, our pain point was for a long time the ugly standard template. I think you give away a lot of potential with the developer driven, more technocratic template. If you want to convince people about Pages, you need a nice article template out of the box. (You should hire @opentype completely 🙂) Once Pages is understood, the many possibilities become more accessible.

I use this thread for the extension of my older wishlist for Pages.
Pages should have 
background images for categories as for forums grid view polls in Pages entries text area for category descriptions (and not only one text field) an option to show category descriptions only on category sites and not in categories overview. widgets per category and not for all categories together (yes, there's an app for that) the option to set multiple authors for one article field for meta title on Pages database entries snippet preview on Meta Tags at least in ACP more schema tag options as described in this thread from @Gabriel Torres in menu manager the option to include a single entry from a Pages database (an article for example). So many menu entries are "external links" but actually "things" in Pages.

Import, export database including records, categories, page, CSS and JS, blocks and so on. Include CSS/JS templates and database page into application like HTML templates. Field Button with custom PHP actions on pre-save, post-save or display (alternatively bind fields to hooks) IPS classes from CSS framework in CKEditor, like warnings, section header, blocks, any kind of typography. Custom areas in template where the fields are placed (above or below the content is not enough).  More control for the forms, like selecting tabs, adding AJAX, toggle on/off, generally all options we have in Field class. Field keys and record data available in the form - this is really essential Include custom CKEditor plugins into applications.  Rework filter block to use and/or logic, filtering by Address field Language (my personal pain). Just 5 options in language tab are not enough for the most languages out there.
