Why not offer the new features as an option for self hosted instances? I'm sure for those of us with dedicated servers it would not be an issue.
It sounds more like a way to push people to your cloud. Can't imagine which features would be so resource intensive to prevent them from being offered to self hosted clients.

This sounds like marketing BS. Cloud is nothing but a bunch of servers. Which technology would be so advanced to prevent simple features from being offered to self hosted clients?
If these features were so resource intensive, it would mean higher costs for you too to host all these websites needing so many system resources. I don't buy this excuse.
Just say that sooner or later your cloud will be the only option and this is the first step in that direcrion. It's like the saying about boiling a frog. If you do it slowly, it doesn't notice the water getting hot and doesn't jump out of the pot and only realizes what is happening when it's already too late.
Be honest and tell us that the self hosted option will at one point be a thing of the past and only cloud will be available since Invision will become SaaS.
You are a business and that is your decision to make but at least be honest about it. This way it just seems you need the self hosted clients to keep paying until you finish the transition period and make the announcement that only cloud remains as an option.

This would definitely be a good use for reaction -1.

Very nice. I wish the activity list had received an overhaul as well. I like the idea of activity list but I never quite got used to it.
Have you ever considered grouping/showing new posts from the same topic together? It would make more sense to have those posts displayed together than scattered all over the activity list.
To keep the list shorter, a new topic could be displayed with 1st post and view more button for replies while new replies in existing topic could be displayed with oldest unread reply first and view more button to show the rest.

I don't like current behaviour of highlighting because it works for every posts, does not matter if this post important or not (i.e. "official staff answer" or "staff member's comment on kittens photo"). I'd prefer to have an option below editor. Posted this also as suggestion in feedback and ideas section. Please support(reaction/comment - any activity) this topic if you need it too.

@bfarber, a common request is add a RANDOM option to the image widgets. Will this be added in 4.2?

Had this in vBulletin years ago. Nothing ground breaking but a useful feature.
I'm still waiting for some news about improvements like viewing images on mobile devices, lightbox behavior in Gallery (going to next/prev image straight from the lightbox), image upload being more user friendly etc. 
Are those even planned for 4.2?

I totally agree with you and have suggested this before but good luck getting someone from IPS to even acknowledge your idea.
BTW, activity stream on this site is acting strange (filters don't work, results missing etc). Has the upgrade process to 4.1.18 been completed?

Please finally add drag-and-drop and copy-paste image insertion in CKE! It's easy, there is even special fron-end interface plugin for that in CKE repository. It's 2017 already, guys

That would also be great. Also having an option to let the reporter know how the report was resolved.

I wish moderation improvements included ability to notify user via personal message when you hide their post. This has been suggested before.

Any plans to improve breadcrumbs in Pages so the folder hierarchy is visible and all pages aren't simply listed in root of the website?
