UncrownedGuard

It could be a feature that can be turned on or off in admin? The hover preview would grab the first image (if there is one) of the article or record and some intro text from the first paragraph?
I know ya all know wikipedia, if you hover over a link at their website you'll see a handsome preview popup, I really love those. Just a wish added to your long long long list of wishes from us all 🙂

We already have previews on hover for our Forums. Can we extend that capability to hover article previews when an inline text link is provide for an article?
For example: I really love this helpful article on Spam Prevention, it is very helpful.
So, when you hover your cursor over "Spam Prevention" we'd have an article popup preview appear. Thanks for your consideration.

The ticket was converted to a bug for our developers to resolve. It is estimated for the next release but that is not written in stone yet.

If we could just take that little catcha box and place it in the site offline wrapper, it would likely be an acceptable integration for most sites.  Give us the site name and a style of box that matches IPS's layout and it would improve multitudes times better.

@Marc Stridgen yes, the change seems to fix some problems.  But even as the admin I had to sit and wonder if I had some sort of malware when it popped up.  A solution that can pull the page wrapper or at least some branding/formatting would be a huge step to improve this.

Ya, it does not appear to have a memory or anything of who is using it as I need to enter it multiple times in the same session now.

I have gotten it on my sites and here, so I would assume that it has been deployed to everyone.  I have no news or information to share about it, but the design looks like a Google spam ad and that is pretty bad IMO.
Hopefully, it is just temporary due to a DDOS attack, but we never get that kind of information.

Please check this again now. We have made some changed. Any issues, please let us know

I just got an update from my monitors that my sites are reporting degraded service and long response times in numerous areas.  I'd guess IPS is having server instability at this time and likely a DDOS given the catcha prompts.
But of course, this is just with information I can pull from my own sites and no official notice from IPS.  This is probably an automated system they have on play, but a automated notice for us would be an amazing feature.

On a side note, if it is a DDOS attack or something, they are doing a good job of keeping the sites up compared to the last few DDOS issues, but we really need communication or a notice system as just guessing is not a great experience for anyone.
I'm okay with a system like this if it helps (granted, it really needs a redesign), but we need info as customers to when things are being turned on and turned off.

As we are on AWS, I suspect that Amazon has put this in place, rather than IPS.

Would love a chat box like the one used in Live Topics, but just as an independent block we can place on a page.   Otherwise is looks like a lot of nice changes!

Ya, I remember IPS.Chat.  I loved it, but the per-user plan thing was kind of strange.  I do feel like being able to pull features from live topics to use in other ways would greatly improve the product as I personally have little use for the package as is.

Ya, I can second that today has been a poor day for the servers.

Everything looks awesome so far!  One thing that I would love to see addressed with the notifications in IC5 is a better link between the actual notification menu (the red bubble where you can see a quick list of your notifications) and the little popup on the screen you get a notification while viewing the site.  Currently, if you click that popup box, you get taken to the item in question (great feature), but it does not clear out the notification in the menu bar.  
A minor issue, but it does lead to some redundancy in the user experience.  E.G., if Matt was on when I quoted this post of his and he clicked that pop-up box on the bottom of the screen to see the quoted message, the notification tray would still show him that he has an unread quoted post even though that would no longer be true.

I would also get behind the share topic button having the topic link without needing to click the more button.  Just like the share comment button includes the comment link with the share icons. I doubt it would make much of a long-term difference, but I don't really see a reason not to support it.
Mostly due to the action being the same for mobile layouts and an easy-to-copy link starts to become a bit more important with mobile users and terrible mobile browsers.

Question about that gif animation: while Olivia is typing her answer, we're not seeing "Olivia is typing" in the top window, is that because her post is too short to trigger the Real time Who's Typing feature? 
I suppose that ideally, if I'm watching a thread, I should see that someone is typing something, wait, and when the answer is submitted, I end up seeing the answer pop up without having to refresh.
