Is it possible to upload a user's profile picture with the REST API? I don't see a field for it in this end point: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=core/members/POSTindex

There is another way to do this. You can upload a .url file that when opened downloads the real file. It's not a great solution but it does sort of work. [InternetShortcut] URL=https:www.google.com

It still takes several clicks and a scroll to the bottom of the page for one of the most frequently used controls. -

I really dislike having this setting hidden away under several layers. I usually view in table mode and then switch to fluid when I want a quick overview of all the new topics. Being able to quickly toggle between those options is important to me. Effectively, hiding the setting away is disabling the user's ability to select a view, since it takes so much effort to get there. -
Alternatively, you could put the text in a row below the image. The point is, if something is "featured" you want to show it off more.

Right now, the featured download block shows an icon the same size as all the others, and assaults the viewer with a wall of text. The featured downloads block would look a lot better if you used a big image and a small block of text. The text block should have a dark margin around it, but I could not easily do this with CSS. You get the idea.

What is the discussion area for version 5? The preview website? The beta testing forum?
-
Featured content should be eye-grabbing high-quality images. It makes no sense to compress the preview into a tiny image the same size as all other items and show a bunch of text. Big image is better.

A variation @Ehren:

I just changed a few CSS values and got a much better look for the featured downloads block.

Yes, I guess I am blind.

The only mention I can find in that page of fieldgroups is referring to user profile fields. The original question is about extra fields for Downloads files.
-
How? I do not see anything in the documentation about retrieving information from extra fields: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=downloads/files/GETitem I want to use this to display the license an item is released under in our application.

Thank you for the information. I did not know that!

I have been working with several web APIs lately, and they usually have a call to retrieve the available categories items are stored in, so you can display them and use them in subsequent calls. I do not see anything like this in the documentation? Is there a way to do this, or maybe it can be added in the future? It would be very useful because it would allow categories to be added or changed without having to update the external application each time.
