  1. Mix/max override and tag cloud, sweet! Will be using this soon, thanks for the min/max override, I suggested that awhile back. One problem I have is tags are not shown in the topic listings (forum view) on mobile, could this possibly add them, or, can we add the tag cloud there? I will be using the closed system as a category list of sorts, so need members to be able to click the defined tags there. Thanks!

  3. I'd like to add it is a pain to use different streams on mobile. Too many menu clicks (4 clicks to My Activity Streams). Filtering or a stream menu in the streams (like stated above) would be great for full site and mobile both. Or some solution to click between streams. Thanks
  4. @Lindy I like streams a lot especially the ability to stream all content in one list instead of just forums etc. My Blogs are pretty much dead but when I upgrade to 4 finally I am going to jump start them, and then members will realize that the discovery is much better and hopefully they will start using them instead of making "bloggy" type forum posts. Same for status updates, and all content. The method of discovery is much better when I felt like in 3.4 it was hidden (except for forums, which made everyone only want to use forums). This, overall, makes for better social engagement. What I think can be improved is filtering the stream you are in instead of creating a new stream. We can set defaults and rely on member creation, and yes, there is edit/update, but 3.4 had the pane on the left where you could filter on the fly. If you can't do live filters, maybe there is some middlegound here. Like, a menu could actually contain member or site defaults (saved by member). Say, top 5. So instead of having the filtering abilty on the left, you have your top 5 presets (streams) readily clickable in the stream. I'm not sure where this would fit layout-wise, perhaps horizontal is best so at the top. But it would save clicks from going to the menu, and also, for perception's sake, creates "filters." Most members will have a few streams they bounce between, and having those right there would be great. Otherwise, streams are are great tool and I am looking forward to getting my members to actually use other apps! And as @tekguru mentioned, yes, the first bug he posted needs attention, as well as this bug, and the first unread setting which I believe is coming soon. Wish list: I would like to reorder streams in menu. I would like to set AA as site default (can't, not sure if bug). I would like to be able to add the "Likes" etc. to another stream to clone AA but customize. Thanks!
  5. Really need this. With an expansive database this could fill up with not only malicious info but erroneous info you do not approve of. We have editors for such approvals that will research the changes, this is really needed for a clean and professional database or records.
  6. This person is thinking video, it is not incorrect to take a portrait! That's why it is called portrait vs. landscape. But with cameras you are physically holding the camera sideways, so the way to fix is edit. Newer technology fixes this for you as many go from phone to site—tag is set with camera, destination must detect it. No, the phone knows how you held it so sets an orientation tag. This site does not pick up the tag and uses the default setting. Hopefully soon because that is awkard and not keeping up with technology, everyone uses their phones.
  7. See my link in post #2. Many sites recognize orientation tags like FB and photo upload sites that's why users say elsewhere it is fine. If IPS adds this ability, problem solved. Rotate and crop functions would be nice as well.
  8. iPhone etc. users get frustrated when they pay for the upload permission and everything is sideways. They tell me they are going back to Photobucket. Ugh.
  9. Agreed, and/or recognize orientation tags of images. http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/digitalphotography/f/sideways-pictures.htm
  10. I haven't done a test upgrade yet so maybe someone can answer as I am just wondering... In 3.4 when you upload an image you can put in the post or leave as thumb. In 4.0 you have to put in post or it does it for you (but there was a bug once where they stayed hidden if you didn't do it). So I am wondering if the "thumbs" in 3.4 correctly get inserted in the post or are hidden only seen with edit or discarded. I could test myself but not at the point yet but had a feeling they might not be inserting since there was a bug even in 4.0 not that long ago. Thanks if you know.

    Videobox

    Would it be possible for members to pick a video to be featured on their member page? So when you visit a member page you can view and rate the video right from there. Would be a great function, or some sort of showcase widget that rotated their videos, on their member page. Thanks!
  12. Have you considered this yet? For example, in Blogs, I could set closed system, and 1 tag maximum and use it like categories, and members could click the tags to find all the blogs on the pre-defined subject. But I would want to use more then 1 tag in other areas. Would be great in Forums, per forum. And is there any development in the special forum settings being available in the other apps? Can Blogs have a mandatory tag or prefix? Thanks!
  13. Are Likes enabled? In the screenshot I only see "Like This" next to one reply. Is that your own reply? Shouldn't it not show there, but on all the other statuses and replies? Basically just wondering if this is enabled, that would be great if so, thanks!
  14. I hadn't realized that I suggested it here:
  15. Weird there's only Lock Hide Delete. I thought we could edit especially now that we had the full editor and it's easy to post a mistake.
  16. Also maybe Edit for all members, that's the main complaint I have in 3.4. Yes in 4.0 you can finally edit from the member page but members may not know that from the feed so that would be nice if possible.
  17. That app is so powerful it will be the 1st I get when upgrading!
  18. But instead of trying to get IPS to have those two separate functions work together, a new setting could be: Topic Publish Date (is not visible until date) Topic Open Date (is visible upon saving) Topic Close Date
  19. The Rules app may be able to help here. @Kevin Carwile?
  20. Excellent! Now I am one step closer to upgrading to 4. Will get when I do, great work!
  21. This is a good example of why I'd like to be able to highlight/mark posts, not just follow topics! Like marking as "Favorite." For now, I will just quote it for later, thanks.
  22. Does this show status updates?
  23. Thanks! Looks like I'll be getting this unless IPS does it first. Not on 4 yet, but will get this when I upgrade. I like that it works with the tag system in place. If we ever need to remove it, what would happen? Existing tags/prefixes would still be in place but would follow the global settings of IPS, correct?
