Visual cues upon logging in for the first time
Tagging @Daniel F, he's talked about a 'tour' before. The difficulty with these kinds of systems is that every community is different. You may launch with the forums, but another community may launch with a custom homepage. I think the best thing you can do within the ecosystem are things like a slider, profile completion, or info boxes that only show to new registrants.

Shared profile pics wordpress/invision board?
The oAuth 2 integration in Invision Community doesn't include syncing of any sort. You could potentially check out wordPress SSO by @stoo2000 in the IPS Marketplace to see if he can sync profile pictures.

The Mysterious Our Picks Page

Split Record in more Pages with a Table of Content
Hi, this is unfortunately not possible in Pages but it's been requested a couple of times before. Tagging @opentype to see if he has any suggestions.

Naming Linked Files in Downloads
Hi @ghinton Can you verify the name of the file at the source location? When I tested, it was pulling in the source location filename. If it's still not working, then please send in a support ticket.

Wrap text around video in Blog
Unfortunately the text wrap only works for images. You are welcome to request in Feedback Forum for future consideration.

Notifications for all articles within a Pages database?
Yes, there should be an option to 'Follow' the category or individual articles within the category. There's also a Marketplace file to force all new members to auto-follow certain content. You'll need to do your own investigation to see if it's appropriate for you.

Prevent Download from Database Article if Not Logged In
If you don't have any categories in Downloads, then the Downloads index will be the list view. Please submit a support ticket. Also, check that your Module Permission allows guests (ACP > System > Applications, then click on the 'lock' icon for permissions for the entire module) Do you have a screenshot that you can share?

Duplicates
What version of IPS are you using? If you're able to reliably reproduce the issue, then please submit a ticket that can duplicate the double posting.

Who's Online cut off time
One trick to not look like a ghost town: Instead of using the block for Online Users, use the Members block. Show the last X users, sorted by Last Activity. Then simply name the block as Online Users or Recent Members or whatever you want.

hCaptcha support
@rebraf is as close as you will get to a Tier 3 IPS developer in the IPS Marketplace, so you can consider his files to be on par with core development.

xf2 Member Search
IPS already contains a Member Overview via the Leaderboard > Top Members. (The Leaderboard - and all of its sub-sections - is probably not talked about enough as it's a very powerful source of information and trends across multiple aspects of the community: time, content, and members). You can link to the Top Members tab via https://invisioncommunity.com/topmembers/

Soft Delete or Hard Delete Topics/Posts
You have a couple of approaches: Many communities simply create a "Trash Bin" board with restricted permissions, and let their moderators move topics into the board. That would be the strongest method of ensuring you still retain the content. You would simply setup permissions so only you and your moderators have access to that board. You can configure Delayed Delete. This is related to the permission 'Can Manage All Deleted Content', which is a tab in the ModeratorCP. Read more about the feature here: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/product-updates/new-delayed-deletes-r1001/

Pages question
As @Fosters stated above, you can keep the Forums as your default homepage. Many clients keep Forums as their main application with Page databases as a reference database.

Prevent Download from Database Article if Not Logged In
Attachments are considered part of the content, so there's no separate permission. You can request a plugin in Customization Request. You can also see if this Marketplace file might be appropriate for you by @Adriano Faria:

Newbie help setting up clone for testing
Hi @Ford Focus Owners Club congrats on becoming the new forum owner! 1. Do you have IPS Cloud or your own cloud? If IPS cloud, then send in a support ticket and they can assist. 2. You may want to reach out to some users on the Providers page who can help you migrate over. They're not affiliated with IPS but many of them have years of experience with the software and server migrations. You can check out users like @ASTRAPI @Makoto or @Spanner who can help you not only move over, but also upgrade to 4.4.

Files - Third Party Hosted?
Yes, absolutely it can. IPS supports Amazon Web Services (AWS) for storage and delivery. Keep in mind that you will incur incidental costs for storage, bandwidth, and potentially CDN delivery.

How about opening ALL links in posts in a new tab?
As far as I'm aware, no Marketplace plugin. You can request in Customization Requests. Just curious, can you explain what's the benefit of opening all links in a topic? Are you using topics as a reference list of some sort?

Home Page with basic information
There are enhancements coming in Invision Community 4.5 that can help you design a homepage. You will need the Pages application:

"buying" trophies from my members
Please ask in the support topic of the Marketplace app. This is definitely not core, any trophies or awards are going to be a third-party app.
