Everything is currently done from that rebuild. However, there were changes made afterwards which wouldn't reflect without another rebuild. I have moved this to a ticket to investigate why that message is still being shown.

One potentially large gap is the validation and approval process done by IPS to guarantee the Marketplace developer's app/plugin aligned with IPS standards before it was approved for client download.  How will this be managed moving forward?

This was fixed for the upcoming release. 

We cannot guarantee v4 will be supported quite as long as Classic. One of the core advantages of cloud is that we are able to leverage the latest technologies to deliver a better experience than what can be had via the average self-hosted environment. There will likely be a time that updates to the cloud infrastructure will necessitate upgrading from v4, but there is nothing on the immediate horizon and we expect we'll be able to continue v4 support on cloud for some time. 
Please reach out to sales@invisionpower.com to see if there's anything we can do for you. 🙂 

Too bored to call the Legal Department too, apparently.

So, good luck to Elon with the USPTO. But given his lack of diligence in even just getting a permit for the building sign change, it's probably not going to go well.

A new UI, hopefully from @Ehren. Cleaned up code (if needed). More SEO (if needed). Faster rendering time (if needed). Maybe some fun new features like when Ranks were introduced. 

My wishes centre on internationalisation and localisation because I run a site which must give equal standing to two languages.
Allow admins to provide a FURL for every aspect of a URL. In 4.x the app names are fixed because they come from /applications/[app]/data/furl.json, meaning that non-English sites are condemned to have English words such as files and store in their URLs. Allow admins to create and match equivalent pages depending on the language with their own slugs. For example, you have invisioncommunity.com/features/clubs/ on this site. If it were necessary for you to have a multilingual site, you would be able to create an associated page (very likely with the same content aside from text) with its own slug, such as invisioncommunity.com/trajtoj/kluboj/. When a link is created in the Menu Manager or written within content, the site would know that on click it is to load the language-dependent associated page; is somebody manually types <a href="invisioncommunity.com/features/clubs/"> within a post, the site would redirect to an associated language-dependent associated page. Please move away from the approach of concatenating different language strings as a short-cut. What works in English often doesn't in other languages, and I'm forced to present grammatical mistakes in some parts of my site because words which are plugged in interchangeably in English strings take different forms depending on their grammatical role. My word for a post will have different forms in the superficially similar: {!#[?:%s liked]} %s and %s reacted to %s:, for example. A long shot but please consider providing occasional context of how a language string is used. Translators need to know, for example, whether Report is a noun or a verb. (Incidentially, because of the previous point, I have instructions in an email notification inviting moderators to "Click to see this To report" because if I change to our equivalent noun, then the instruction "Report" on the content containers is the wrong word.)  It might be possible already for people more knowledgable than me but it would often be useful to be able to change the user's language setting via something in the URL. We're a UK-based charity so have English as our default language but our activity is worldwide using another. It'd be great for me if the language could be set as the second one for a visitor following a link such as invisioncommunity.com/cy for Welsh, for example.

It is. In the group settings:

What do you mean by “managing”? On my site there are 1500+ Blogs, but I don't have to manage a lot. I have set up categories for the blogs and move new blogs to the right one, if the blogger does not do that himself correctly. The blog owners can moderate their blog comments etc. themselves. 
More of an issue are the categories of an individual blog, as many users create a new one for every entry. 
And I like it that one user can have more than one blog. 

☀️ Welcome to this week's Invision Community Insight! ☀️
Thank you for checking out this weekly update. I hope you have had a lovely, productive week.
This week's updates from the Invision Community team are below. 🙂 
 
Current Happenings
New Version
Our latest July beta is ready! Upgrade to the official July release next week. 
As with all beta releases, upgrading your community is at your own risk. Please make sure you backup before upgrading! 
Here is what is slated for the July release, version 4.7.12. https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/
 
On Deck

Release Chat
Our July release chat will be happening at the end of the month. Join us live if you can or catch the video and discussion in the converted topic after the event. 
 
Finally, for those that like to see what we are up to line by line, here is the changelog for the week for version 4. Changes are limited for now as we focus attention on version 5. More information will be shared about version 5 at a future date. 
Changelog
 

Users would need to use the Forgot Password function to set a password and would need to know the email address they used with the linked login method. So you could or should explain that somewhere and inform your users before making the switch. 

Would it make more sense to have this section unlocked for banned users so they can request PII or account deletion? That seems to be the primary audience for these services.

Admins won't see it - use a non-admin account.

In that case you would want to put those services in your third-party list if you are concerned.
We are looking into opt-in third party loading in a future improvement to privacy controls though. It's an ongoing project 😀

For now, we'll keep it so administrators must approve until we get a little more comfortable with the features. We wouldn't want large parts of an established community destroyed by content being de-attributed or removed without a final admin check.

You can choose to delete, or anonymise the posts (the IP addresses are removed, and the content presented as if it was from a Guest). When a member requests to be forgotten, it will anonymise their content.
Cleaning embedded quoted content is something we're working on for a future version.

I have moved this for you 🙂 I would ask, have you told your users they could simply sign up to the RSS feed?

There is no export of these in order to move elsewhere, for backup or otherwise

When approving an account deletion request, the message says:
"Please confirm that you want to delete %s. The member's content will be left in the database, but flagged as Guest content."
What does this mean exactly? Will the content show up under an anonymous guest post, a post under the original username with an added "(Guest)" to it? And why is there no option to delete the user's content?
When deleting an account manually, we get all sorts of options. If that is really missing here, then I suggest you add this to account deletion requests.

@Stuart Silvester Thanks for the info.
Can you then please move this to your feedback forum? Because I think when deleting an account based on an account deletion request, the admin should get the same options like manually deleting a member, which is:
delete the user's posts hide the user's posts (with options to either keep the user's name or make it anonymous) keep the user's posts (also with options to either keep the user's name or make it anonymous)

Okay, done that, thanks Marc.
 

It still shows the cookie link at the bottom though which if a visitor clicks takes them to the IPS cookie page. It would be good to be able to easily disable that or alter its destination.
Also can you include the duration of the cookies on the IPS cookie page, please?
Thank you!

Dear IPS,
Thank you for adding a Reject button to the cookie banner.
Please can improve the new cookie compliance functionality further to include the duration of the cookies, so that it is clearly stated in order to obtain valid consent?
Reasoning behind this:

Example Reference: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-electronic-communications/guide-to-pecr/guidance-on-the-use-of-cookies-and-similar-technologies/how-do-we-comply-with-the-cookie-rules/#comply4

Example reference: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-electronic-communications/guide-to-pecr/guidance-on-the-use-of-cookies-and-similar-technologies/what-are-the-rules-on-cookies-and-similar-technologies/#rules4

Secondly for users using a separate service such as CookieYes, the cookie link still shows and takes users to the IPS cookie page even though it’s being used. This is confusing to site users.
Thank you.

ok I posted this too 
just in case there is someone here, 
 and I will go and check this out too! thank you!
