Please can you provide a dark mode for your documentation and help guides? It's not a pleasant experience switching from other dark tabs to your stark bright white documentation or trying to study it at night particularly when you have vision difficulties. Get with the times!

While we are improving the Gallery, maybe there is still time to squeeze these in:
Option to use the FIRST image as album cover
Currently images are shown in reverse in feeds and the last image is used as cover by default. That is very counter-intuitive and handled differently by any modern social media or image sharing site. A “cover” is by definition the “front” image and that should usually be the image people upload first, not last. I have a use case where I upload old copyright-free books and showing the backside of the book as cover by default makes no sense at all, but I would expect this request applies to pretty much every gallery. Even on a car or dog community, I would expect an album to always show in the order of the files being uploaded (not in reverse) by default and to use the FIRST image being uploaded as the cover. 
Option to change the cover image by the creator of the album
For some reason, this is currently a mod feature, but I do not see why. It’s the user’s albums. They should be able to pick which image best represents the album—at least as an admin-option to give users that permission. 

Since you've added the FA code in the navBarItems template. You can designated different icons by using CSS.

When you inspect in google chrome, firefox, or whatever browser you use. A little tedious work, add these in your custom.css 
[data-navitem-id="87"] .fa-comment:before { content: "\f206"; } For each icon inserted, change the ID of the navitem-id and change the content: "\f206" to your prefer icon number.

Wouldn't it be preferable if this setting could just be applied to selected primary forums rather than all of them?

Example: 

I never really understood why one would display 0 replies at all. This goes for any places, even in the forum lists. Why display anything, if nothing is there yet? I doubt that a "0" will motivate anybody to be the first one interacting. I think the look would be much cleaner, if any text that informs about "0 anything" was hidden and then it starts with the number 1, if a first reply/view/vote/download/whatever has happened.

Just to show, that this is needed:

Mailchimp JS header code to display the native Mailchimp "Subscribe" block. Add an ad network code. Add custom fonts and so on All these people would and do mess globalTemplate to just add their custom JS scripts. Later on they are probably going to run into issues while updating. They cannot just disable the scripts for a test without editing HTML and CSS again and again.
Please consider this suggestion for the head code. It would be user-friendly for non-code customers and would allow debugging issues much easier.
It is not a big deal at all. I still use this https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/7631-custom-head-and-body/ and it works like a charm. Unfortunately, not updated and not usable for Cloud starter package.
 

{{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}} {expression="\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name"} {{else}} Guest {{endif}} So, this bit of code is basically saying. If a user is currently logged in, it will show their username but if they aren't logged in. It will get replaced with the word guest.

I don't know if this is a feature or not, but it would be nice. I noticed that the Bulk Email feature for Admins allows you to customize the email with special {tags} (or system variables like {member_name}) to personalize the message to the recipient. It would be nice to have these {tags} available to moderators for Announcements also. This would help grab the member's attention a little more and customize the Announcement experience.

So in the ACP there are a few settings that require you to download and then ftp SFTP your constants file to the server.
Could there ever be a way that the ACP could do this automatically? Since upgrading the site we never really have to download and upload any more?!
 

I can't agree more that we need this to be added. 

I am wondering if we could expand the following to include database as well. When you have 10+ (9) categories, it is tedious to follow every category just to follow the database. 
If we can add the follow in the Category Index > Index; that would be great 👍

There were many many times when I was writing and sending PM messages when the member has left the chat long since. And you dont get a notification, you dont get a clear message that you're the only man left in the room so to speak. You have to scroll to the top and check the status in member is still participating. So what if you make this inside the PM conversation window to indicate changes to the conversation, like new member added, a member left and so on. Just like in topics.

Thanks @SUBRTX - that's at least a step in the right direction, which is great news.
However, as I've just posted over in the comments on that link, I don't think it's been thought through very well.

Here's what I posted over there.
========================
I just had a closer read of it and and whilst it is a step in the right direction, I still don't think it's amazing.
Most people that use these notifications will still want to be notified when one of their posts is quoted by someone else.
But no-one wants to be notified when their post get a like/reaction.
So, keeping "quoted" and "reactions" bundled into a single option is a mistake in my opinion.
I feel like "quotes" should either be bundled with "replies / mentions" or setup as it's own option.
To be honest - for the best granularity - IMHO all 4 options should be separate.
I.e.
- REPLIES         [ON / OFF]
- MENTIONS   [ON / OFF]
- QUOTES        [ON / OFF]
- REACTIPONS [ON / OFF]

Its been a while, I know, but I want to bring us back around to pages databases and organization. Its still a mess and annoying.
I've been asking for ages for ways to better order things when it comes to Pages Databases. At the moment things are listed in one of two ways:
Alphabetically or by Database ID this is both in the ACP and on the front end.
I don't think this is good for anyone and I really am hoping to get an ordering system for Pages Databases this will reorder things similar to how I suggest it here:
 
The ordering is just atrocious if you look at them each. Here is how they are listed when you are clicked on databases:

 
This is the ACP sidebar: (Edit: I just remembered that the sidebar you can manually reorder in the ACP sidebar, the annoying part here is new databases pop to the top instead of the bottom and so you have to re-order these all the time)

Hopefully you can see the discrepancy here already.
This is the create menu:
.
 
This is my profile which is only consistent with the Mod CP (Not screenshotting as they are identical)

 
As you can see there is no consistency (save for profile to ModCP which list them in Database ID order where no where else does). It also doesn't leave anything for you to put the most important and what you want to be prevalent content closer to the top where less important information is further down on any of these lists. I would like for my order to be Directory, Guides, Reviews, Resources toward the top as these are user submitted content items where News I don't want my Newsletter posts in my profile, the comments make sense since all of my users can comment but I'm one of the only ones that can create Newsletters.
I want better control of my menus and my databases.
 
For now I will continue to use the magic of CSS but I still think that a better solution needs to be provided for at least some of this.

Editing the forum you don't want users not see other people's topic by unclicking the "Users can see topics posted by other users?"
Now, if you want other groups to see other people topic in that forum. 
You can add "verified" group in the staff > moderator, give it restricted access, uncheck all then going under forums, select the forum you want them to see all and finally check i believe can see all hidden topics

<form id="form{$row->primary_id_field}" class="ipsForm ipsForm_horizontal accept-charst="utf-8" action="{$row->url()}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" data-ipsform> On the recordRow, you're missing a " after ipsForm_horizontal but otherwise looks amazing 🙂
 

The design of the IPB Marketplace in the admin panel looks fantastic. I would like the interface for IP.Downloads in the default theme to look like this.

Come on guys, Invision is never going to please us all. And even if they adopted granular ACP theme adjustment tools same as Xenforo has, we'd still need to sit back and adjust dozens and dozens of margin, padding, line height and similar parameters to suit all of our individual tastes. And then you have the menu, which in my view should be docked in an object that can be bound to the DOM either on the server or in a CSOM. But, even if Invision did that, we'd still need to position it ourselves, and move it around depending on the app currently in use. So I say, be careful what you wish for as even though I'd like to see pages that are rendered a little more tightly and menus that break from the current paradigm, you can bet if Invision did that, we'd still be back with another set of demands next month.
So how about we get together, put our hands in our pockets and see if we can find a designer come dev to create a configurable theme for us - and I mean a theme, not a (wanit in green, blue, red?) skinning exercise. It could include all sorts of presets including spacing, fonts, menu positions and so on, including specifics for desktop and mobile. Won't be cheap, but at least at the end of it we will have something we can use to give us what we want, rather than assuming Invision can pull a theme styling rabbit out of the hat which is going to miraculously please us all. I just don't see it.
Of course, Invision are more than capable of doing this themselves. But a bit a string only goes so far, and if they do this, then all the other stuff we need like video transcoding (ok I need that 🙂 ) will get pushed to the back of the queue.
So how how about it? Put our energies into something creative?
