Agreed.  This has been an ongoing hassle for years.  No idea how much business I lost because of the people that didn't reach out to let us know there was an issue.

Thanks to @Ocean West and @Myr for their input, and to @All Astronauts for the solution!  There was a plugin which needed updating - I had checked it in the Marketplace, and the revisions said something about "errors >=4.6.10" but it said nothing about errors related to upgrading, so I left it.
I assumed it wouldn't make any difference because only the system files were being upgraded and hey, why would any other apps/plugins need to be interacted with anyway?  Oh, did I mention I'm not a developer?
Anyway, I upgraded the plugin in question and the upgrade ran fine.  Thanks!

I was able to get in a track down my issue to a javascript related third party plugin.  Once I disabled it, function resumed.
(It's a custom one, so other than saying they did something with javascript, I'm not sure it would affect your issues)

I couldn't agree more! This would be a HUGE plus for my website. 🙏🏼

ImageMagick is used by IPS to handle uploads of images, resizing them, compressing them and creating thumbnails.
Why not give the community admin the option to use ImageMagick to convert uploaded images by users to WebP?
As long as WebP is now accepted by IPS 4.6, I imagine that would be very simple to add this feature to the suite.
I am having a great experience converting the images that I post on my community to WebP. Same quality and much less bytes than JPG or PNG or GIF.

Would it be possible to get a option to set a time/date to send a Bulk Mail?  We use it to send out our newsletter and the lack of schedule options means we have to do it all live. And when I have time to get everything set for email never matches the optimum time to send that email.
 

Some, hopefully easy to implement blog suggestions:
Select existing blogs and assign them a new category. I would think that would be pretty straight forward to do.  I mean, I can feature, move, hide, etc. Why can't I set a category for selected blogs? Feature Blog Image. Before we had categories back, I was using the feature image to visually categorize. That means the same image gets uploaded dozens of times. It sure would be a great quality of life thing to set one per category as a default.  It would be a nice speed improvement too to cache a handful of images instead of all of them being unique. Being able to set Feature image on multiple blogs at once would be great too for modernizing older content. Or changing things if you want to refresh images.

Adding this would allow hyper targeted emails to user segments on the site.  This would certainly reduce "junk" mail flagging by increasing open and click through rates.

I like this, because lets say once you set up the following....
 
Signed in 1 day in a row Signed in 7 days in a row Signed in 31 days in a row Signed in 90 days in a row Signed in 180 days in a row Signed in 365 days in a row Once a member gets thru that, there is nothing more to gain, unless admins keep expanding it indefinitely.  Or to your point, you let them repeat.
This member has won "Signed in for 7 days" three times!
etc...

From what I've read it makes a lot of sense, the positives could see a large improvement for those that utilizes it - especially if .webp is used in conjunction.
Most people don't have overcomplicated graphics or logos.

Was there a technical reason why this has not been standardized? I am curious as to why SVG support has not already been added.
SVG has been around for 20 years (technically, 19 years, 20 this September). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics It became a browser standard 10 years ago (since 2011) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics#Native_browser_support I am surprised to learn even discontinued Internet Explorer 9 - 11 all supported SVG.
Or was this an oversight? 🤔
 
 
 

Thanks for the suggestion! Anything that improves speed is eye-catching. 
Curious what the rest of the community thinks about this 🙂 

We already know that in 4.6 we will be able to use the WebP format.
We need webp NOW (.webp) images support But will SVG support also be added? Why? Because SVG format is intended for logos and icons. Assets load in lightning speed, much faster than in PNG.
Please consider the suggestion 🙂

It would be nice to be able to upload icons for forum sections in SVG format. 🧒

At the moment, it's configured to just 1 colour for all user groups that have their posts highlighted. This can get a little messy and hard to distinguish in communities where multiple different groups have this enabled.

It has taken me ~3 months since upgrading to 4.5 (working with @Adlago) to recover my site speed, and eliminate the dozens of W3 html errors inherent in the standard version of IPB, and I won't be stopping until I'm in the 90% area for mobile (I'm currently at 97-98% for desktop). I'm just shocked that these issue continue in the latest versions, and in some ways were actually worse and harder to deal with in 4.5 than in 4.4.

 

Is there a way to filter for Club Forums when creating Achievement Point Rules? It lets us select regular forums.

I have allowed a couple of "chat" topics inside club forums and it has royally skewed the reputation, making it kind of pointless. I'd like to filter out those club forums without filtering out ALL club forums.
Otherwise it's looking good!

We're very much aware of CKEditor 5.

As mentioned above, the migration to v5 isn't a simple case of dropping in the new files. We'd need to re-code all of our custom plugins that handle many things including embedding, drag and drop uploading and much more.

CKEditor 4 is supported until 2023. While CKEditor 5 brings many useful new things, it's not urgent enough for us to "down tools" and focus a 6-12 week block on it.

It's on our roadmap along with other javascript improvements that we want to develop and deploy.

We are leaving a lot on the table without this.  IP Pages is ripe for being amp ready.  Blogs too.
