Having spoken with Mark privately as we run similar forums (both Football, not Soccer, Football!), he is speaking about guests viewing the forum not members.
On his setup, only guests are shown ads, his concern is that if guests are not shown up to date posts say during the game they will choose to follow the game elsewhere, say X for example.
This would obviously have a negative impact on his ad revenue which pays the bills.
I do share his concern somewhat and would be nice to reduce the time, I personally ran with 5 minutes when using Cloudflare on a Self Host setup prior to moving to IPS Cloud.
For me this was a nice balance between not annoying guests too much whilst encouraging them to also signup and login.
I guess the feedback here would be, it would be nice to control the cache time per site if possible rather than a blanket uncontrollable 15 minutes which maybe fine for say a gaming forum, just not for one that has live events.

If it was to change, I'd change it so the red bubble goes the second you click on the icon to see the notifications, but they would stay bold until you read the source item. However, we'd need to make a decision about what to do with pure notifications like "Rank X achieved!" which has no linked item.

Meanwhile, myself and fellow Cloud users watching all this pricing confusion unfold 😛

We’ve gone back and forth on it but I’m leaning towards the suggestion here to mark as read when read.

Was always a long shot this one, but if it triggers a discussion on alternative methods great.
Our forum and I would imagine most football sites rely heavily on the sharing of tweets by journalists and media outlets.
Frustrating but the way it is.

I think that is very low on their todo list, so it may be a year or more until we get a way to do that, and if Facebook is anything to go by, the number of hoops to jump through is ridiculous. 
I'm interested in the AP system too but want to see it implemented in Bluesky and/or threads before we invest time into it.

Or maybe these problems with Twitter and Meta show that iFrame embeds are not the way forward. 
I would be more interested in exploring the options to hooking into the ActivityPub system to connect with Threads, Mastodon and whatever comes next. This could be more reliable and more native (i.e. not requiring iFrames). 

The numbering of posts could be replaced with a more prominent way of linking to that post. Most of users are not well versed in forums in general, so they don't know that they need to click on the "three dots" and then on "Share" to get a link to a post. I belive a small "link" icon there could facilitate users learning how to link to individual posts.

This issue has been resolved in the latest 4.7.11 release. Please upgrade to resolve this, and let us know if you have any further problems.

Allow a meta image to be uploaded per topic. Currently it just uses the default share photo so every shared topic looks the same if shared on social media (means less clicks and interest).
This is something I’ve needed for years which I’ve not even been able to get a working mod for.

Thanks, was too excited to read the topic fully.

And they are working!
Only thing is, you don't have badges on the app icon, even though they are enabled?

Basically doesn't appear to be working, had one uploaded for a long time, figured I would remove and upload again. It threw this error:
2S119/1 The CSRF protection key did not match. This may indicate a plugin or theme is out of date. Please contact technical support for more information.
On returning to the manifest page the image was there so not sure what that's about.
When force closing the web app, re opening, still no launch image, just a white screen for a second or two before the forum loads in.
Not a major issue, but would be nice if it could be looked into as these little touches make me feel a tiny bit happier about things.
