once i am made aware of someone's passing move them in to a Group "Memoriam" and remove them from other groups, I also disable any email notifications for that users account. So as not to bother next of kin. Probably best to turn off their messages too.

I use the Announcement feature to make a post visible for a few days at the top of the site with link to a post. 🕯️

ooh thanks - guess ill wait till its 4.5 compatible.

Also a group blog doesn't have option to Edit Blog under Manage Blog on the front of site.

This isn't a bug, it's intentional.

I fail to see the reason for this;  as Site Admin I should not be restricted to edit anything - nor should i have to log in as user to edit the blog? 

Any setting made on front of site should be also editable on the ACP (like RSS feeds)

It would be most help with RSS Feeds to see sample of data received to confirm the thing is working vs waiting around for the task to run to find out the RSS is malformed.

Is there any guidance how to handle bounces

So if i have delete follows from 1000 days ago every day is a rolling set of new potential people who now qualify for Pruning. 

really anything that is time specific as time moves forward will scope a new set of users that qualify on actions.

Perhaps a s feature - future forward looking stats that today we prune 50 tomorrow 23 day after 32  next month 1224 etc. 

Haven't paid much attention to statistics that the ACP provides but I am curious about how the background tasks of auto Prune play a role in the percentages. And wonder if there is any option to delineate negative values based on auto prune or end user action?

I logged out and now it gives a network error trying to log back in. 

A badge or indicator should be present on apps already installed. Perhaps with status "Current" or "Upgrade Available"  

Yes many times you want to add a feed and you go to the website and thats all you get is feed:// when you paste you get an error then have to get back to the beginning of the field to change it - if they are both valid it should just be smart to accept both protocols.

The system should be smart enough to recognize feed:// or https:// 

In addition i see no ability in ACP to query who is or count of how many are using which login service.

And or if and who are ONLY using one or more social logins without a local user account.

Perhaps a feature to expose this information - and also when an admin disables a particular social login all members that are affected are automatically forced a reset password and email how to create a site password?

It would be really nice to have a built in Diff tool to compare database structure / tables & fields with known baseline to identify detritus so we can manually drop columns and or entire tables.

It would be nice if when looking at online users IPS had a library of known IP address ranges that belong to likes of Google / AWS or any such bots and include that other then 'Guest' 

or at the very least include the country flag and prephas the country where the "guests" are from.

curious why IPS stores data as bitoptons vs just a JSON object or array?

When you get a notification it may be by Email and Notification center however if you navigate thru email and read it or just go to the content directly and read it the notification still remains un-read. When you read content something should update notification as read.

Also if you get notifications for pending approval of content if another mod/admin has already address the action then it should update that original notification as READ and append  "Matt Approved Post"

I see.

What happens if a user say uses FB then joins movement and quits FB not realizing they no longer have access to it and then can't sign in to their account. They would have to submit a support ticket or create a new account then have an Admin merge them?

Just rambling thru the thought process to have a game plan if and when it happens. 

In 4.5 you can force a reset of password but there isn't an option to force reset users who happen to sign in using Twitter / FB / LinkedIn etc.

It's been a while since I looked at that but if you register and sign in with these services do you not still have local credentials?

When clicking create new topic and presented with list of forums - would be nice to have an toggle to open or close all categories. the light grey color of closed makes people think it's not selectable so they never open them ( self included )

Example: you would have to be a long time user to know that you can click the closed areas... Newbies can't figure this out.

I have been asking for many many years... i want a way to get a list/stream of of topics with NO replies, or list of topics with NO replies from a certain group - as a tool for moderators to help newbies and or make sure posts get attention. 

I think you can change default this by using

ACP > Member Settings (Profiles) > Profile Settings > Under Display Settings

what would your custom CSS look like to achieve this?

The root Category has no means to add Grid Card images. 

• Category (not allowed)
  • Category (allowable)
    • Forum (allowable)

If you have tons of forums grid view is a bit much but if you have a handful of root categories - they could be a grid and outline contents with image and perhaps.

Where would you put some conditional logic to suppress the listing of child forums on a particular category.

How do i determine which RSS import is failing for bad xml with out having to go thru each blog's rss feed?

1. Categories should be allowed to add a Grid Card Image.

2. If a category has a Grid card image then it should suppress the images for the child forums card.
