    Oh. My. God.  
    I thought I was fairly proficient in my ACP but apparently I'm peon-level.
    Copy settings - When did you invent this?? Where is this magic and wonder coming from?? Why have I never used this before?? I had no idea what this was until I watched your video.  Ive clicked in the button before but honestly thought this was some trivial dev tool that I never needed.  Do you know how many categories and boards in ALL of my apps where I've gone and manually copy-and-paste a setting?? There were times where all I did in one afternoon was go through hundreds of category settings to change a value.  This is blowing my mind.  I don't have any settings to change right now but who cares.  I'm now gonna change all settings in all my boards.

    I can look at using the "zoom" function on Camtasia? Did you go full screen? There was some compression (was around 500mb) on the video but it looked watchable.

    Great to see these videos being done, thank you. 
    For info, I needed one of these to see it, even at 1080p in the YouTube app...

    "Awesome tutorial, so THOSE were the settings Matt was talking about!"

    @Matt
    You know I love IPS but as powerful as Pages is, your article templates are still so few, so limited and I'm sorry, but so outdated! Back in IP Content v2.whateveritwas, I was told you'd be releasing more article templates, but years later and there are still no new templates for rapid deployment. The problem is that almost all Pages websites seem to either look pretty much the same, or just awful. 
    Thank God for the Supergrid templates by @opentype and his very fair pricing policy, they offer a quick and attractive second option to the default template.
    Please release some more varied designs or perhaps consider partnering up with a good design company to get some more created.
    Many thanks!

    Some great, long overdue improvements to Gallery, thank you!
    Touch enabled carousels, awesome!
    For me the ultimate test for Gallery has been watching someone not technical or familiar with the software try to navigate through 20 or even 50 images! So frustrating for dear Mum!
    I really like all the improvements but some feedback...
    Re the UI - I'm honestly not convinced but appreciate things can be styled to choice. The large, stark white square in screenshot 1 and the UI short (2) sure are pretty hard on the eyes, as is the Instagram style comments sidebar on the right of the light box. Perhaps some transparency or less white space would help. I'm really surprised about the ad placement idea too, I can't see many crying out for that, especially with the gathering preference for less intrusive ads.
    Great to see bulk tags when importing, but can you extend that to a tool for editing, adding, removing tags on exiting images?
    re: drag/drop Image reordering, will that resolve the difficulty with chronological ordered images, so for instance the photos of an event, parade, recipe etc can be displayed from start to finish in the correct order after being uploaded in the correct order, something I've been hoping for for years?
    Lastly, the eternal question...
    Will the Bulk Upload tool (from internal storage) finally return in 4.3? 
    Thanks again for the hard work.

    Good stuff, Matt. When I started using Pages it took me a while to get to grips with it. A video like this will come in very handy for other new users, I'm sure.
    My main site's still under development and has quite a bit of Pages powering it. I don't want to link to it whilst it's still not ready but here's an example: a pronunciation database for language learners, powered by Pages:

    The Old Man reacted to Lindy in GDPR updates for Invision Community 4.3.3   
    @DReffects2 - I appreciate you've done extensive research as applicable to your situation jurisdiction. We have expended an enormous amount of time and resources aiding our EU clients with GDPR compliance to the best of our abilities and it's our understanding, we've actually done more than most similar platforms. A temporary line has to be drawn somewhere or we're going to end up with, as Matt said, a barrage of half-baked features and checkboxes everywhere. We have consulted with the ICO, our largest EU clients and perused legal resources and are confident that our implementation as of 4.3.3 will help satisfy your compulsory requirements under the GDPR. I know you don't like the "let's wait and see" approach on your remaining potential concerns, but that is in fact a key purpose of the judicial system -- interpreting and providing subsequent guidance on existing regulation.
    We are committed to adapting and accommodating as needed, I assure you. We aren't, however, able to go crazy and toss things in based on armchair interpretations. From a layman perspective, a simple checkbox here and there seems easy. From a development perspective - you need to do something with that checkbox. As the contact form, when configured such, is merely an email form, there's nothing to do in the same way there's nothing to do when you actively send someone a traditional email -- you're sending the email because you want to initiate contact. If you wanted a "simple" checkbox on the contact form that's simply sending an email, you then need to provide a mechanism for obtaining consent, store the email address, store the consent, provide a mechanism to withdraw the consent to store the email, etc. None of that is necessary based on reasonable interpretations of the GDPR, so as developers with finite resources, we need to weigh out these requests that amount to a fair amount of development time with limited basis and simply say, if you're super concerned about untested, unchallenged, extreme interpretations for things like this, it's likely best, for your own peace of mind, to simply not use the feature.
    I say with confidence that although ultimate compliance with any local, national or international law or regulation is the responsibility of the community owner; 4.3.3 is GDPR friendly. If you feel you need to be more restrictive based on additional member state requirements, interpretations or even personal peace of mind - you can of course disable embeds, disable the contact form, disable spam mitigation, disallow tech support and/or peruse third party solutions. It's my opinion, however, the EU authorities are not intending to cripple the Internet or make it cumbersome, inconvenient and unenjoyable to use; only to hold providers, controllers and processors to task for safeguarding data... and in that regard, it's only a good thing. 
    There's a lot of information, opinions and suggestions floating through the comments here and it's difficult to keep track of. We welcome you to engage us via a support ticket for software and corporate specific information and, of course, you may use the client forums to discuss various scenarios, share opinions, tips, etc. 
    We appreciate the feedback and participation. Let us know if we can be of further help.
  20. Thanks

    We will. Which is why we're watching GDPR closely but not knee-jerking a bunch of half baked features into life that may never be needed or used.

    These improvements and tools are excellent and well considered, just what we needed, thank you. 
    I'd also urge some general caution and due diligence especially with any non-member requests for bulk personal data export, admins should put some procedures in place and make sure co-admins and staff are aware, to recognise a request and to reasonably check proof of identity before handing over bulk export data  to ex-members, banned or disgruntled ex-members who potentially have a grievance, or ex-members requesting deleting accounts. 
    It may be useful for current registered members to have a convenient option in their Account Settings to be able to request an export, so export could be performed automatically and recorded in the member history audit trail.
    I'd also urge caution in transmitting that XML data to the requester especially by email, be sure to provide some security such as sending it in a passworded and/or encrypted zip file. Double, triple check you're sending it to the correct person, email address!
