The Old Man

Congratulations Team IPS! You've had a big influence on my life and that of my various community members since the days of Ikonboard.
Imagine what your software will look like and feature in 16 years time when you will be announcing V8.2.
"When is the release date?"
"When it's ready, youngster. When it's ready."

https://invisioncommunity.com/43dev/ they have it working here and the links work.

Currently links within the announcement are not clickable (in the announcement box) both on the front page and when clicked. Is this something that can or will be added. If I have a short message with the URL within it, I would find it convenient that users are able to click it.

I know you can click a link when view the whole message.

It should be fine, we've added it without making any changes to the global template, so it'll work out of the box for customers that are using custom/modified themes.

You don't need to seek Facebook approval if you do the following.
1) You create the app in Facebook
2) You link up the ACP to your Facebook app
As you are an admin on the Facebook app, you don't need to approve the app within Facebook.

I can't get through the complicated Facebook app setup process successfully so until someone creates a step by step process for us non-programmers the "sharing" and "promoting" are out of reach for me. I suppose I'm just a dummy but surely I can't be the only one having issues. IMHO this feature is one of the best methods of fighting the Facebook challenge to keep our forums active so its importance can't be understated.

I'll do just that.

Am I the only one that hopes your experts have created or will create detailed instructions on how to successfully set up Facebook to take advantage of the sharing features?

Great start to 2018, Team IPS! 

Great start to 2018, Team IPS! 

Nice job Mark and Team! Really clever use of space, nice design. 
I spent an hour deleting spam-flagged, banned members last night, one at a time from 280 members, down to 17 real member accounts. Will the bulk management checkboxes return in 4.3? Would have been nice to check all spam members and hit delete once!

What a great update! Nice work, Team IPS!

You absolutely can. <3 Thank you.

Sometimes a muse comes, and words become poems ...
Many years ago I wrote this / tried a very close translation /
"Love - this is autumn gold,
painted by a blind artist
Love - it's a gentle song,
without a voice a singer sings"
Now it sounds to me again.
Poetry, hardware, software, and rhyme of so many bytes interwoven into the speed of dreams ..

Our Invision community is ProjectGuitar.com; I have been building guitars and basses for a couple of decades now. Mostly we teach and exchange skills and advice. It's not a hidden talent. Met some absolutely stellar people through our community, seen people go from beginners to industry names and generally find you can never stop learning.
My hidden talent is Aspergers. Not sure if that counts? It totally should. 

I've built that engine, and I'm about to tear down another one to put on some "not road legal or not for use in California" parts.
 

Cool outfit Jennifer....

We have some impressive talents in the group.  
1.  I nominate that we use @Daniel F street art as the new default profile and blog headers.  
2.  Nominating @opentype for Eurovision Winner 2018.  
3.  We need to have a Guitar Hero Rockstar competition between @Ryan Ashbrook and @Adriano Faria
 

My hidden talent is hidden for a reason. 
Also, I am not Batman.

Nice to see the UI getting more and more colourful  

Could you clarify this? There are no new form field types in 4.3.

Literally everything on this page is built via extensions ( 4.3 will have 2 new extension types which are used to build the ACP member profile)
@Mark did an amazing job here.
