Spot on, Rikki. I'm working on an educational project at the minute and the team has an idea that "we can create a Facebook group!" as a way of setting up a support community. Little do they know what I have in store ...

I don't think you have to be an oldie to think that, @Mark H

There is a benefit to having a separate license for testing things, that being that you can use your primary license to test out stuff before adding it to your live site, while using the other license to have a 'live' and 'test' installs for testing out other things that you may not want to introduce to your main community, or that you may want to test with different settings, etc.  Of course, if you ever open a second community, you'll already have the license and be locked in at the current renewal price for your suite.

And from now on invisionpower.com is running on 4.2  Great job

I'm working on a plugin to give more power to the club owner on front-end:

1 - You can add a specific or all members from a group as MEMBERS in the club:

 
2 - You can change the club ownership:

 
3 - Change the club type:

 
@Morrigan, I'll try to add this:
 
Any other suggestion?

I thought 1st record was 
A question
Why blocks have different settings?
Featured Downloads. Show and Number. Where is a Categories?
What's New. Show and Categories. Where is a Number?
Highest Rated. Show and Categories. Where is a Number?
Most Downloaded. Show and Categories. Where is a Number?

This is the first blog entry by @Daniel F and he was a bit nervous writing it. I am sure he'll hate me saying that
But I think he did a great job and the feature will be really useful for those who heavily use our Downloads app.

The concept of these social groups has been around for ages, e.g. in vBulletin and people asked for a native IPS implementation for ages. IPS is just fulfilling that wish, not copying what this third party app “invented”. 
Personally, I have been waiting for a native social groups feature. I would hate if IPS would not implement such a feature just because something similar is available from a third party vendor already. That shouldn’t be their concern. 
 
It’s a core feature, so you don’t pay extra for it. What is available within the clubs (gallery, forums, blogs …) depends on whether you have these apps installed. 

I knew there would be new developments in 4.2, but I never anticipated that something like this would come about which fits so precisely - PRECISELY with what I have wanted for tutoring clients - spaces which constellate all the other apps and that can be custom-tailored for my clients with complete control over visibility and privacy.
Obviously the product of a lot of work and consideration, and I am truly looking forward to using this on my site.  Awesome!
 

As Charles said, once we gauge interest, we can look at other social networks. I wrote the system to allow you to drop in a new class and it can then be used.
Great feature suggestion. Right now it's locked to one Facebook page and one Twitter account, but I like this idea for the future.

This is ... astounding. I can't imagine what you'll come up with next to trump these last two announcements!

You can indeed assume this, your assumption would also be correct!

I have no idea, but judging by the responses here, most people would like to set up micro communities on their site.

We debated this, but the current implementation is just pins. For this, and a few other things related to the map (like how to choose what displays by default) we thought we'd wait to hear what feedback we get from you in the beta, once people get a feel for how they'll use Clubs 
Yes, Club Leaders can ban a member from the club which will remove them and they will not be able to rejoin.
The homepage is a feed of all activity in the club including topics, gallery images, etc (including content from third party apps if they add support). It will also show when people have joined the club. We haven't done status updates.

This is ... astounding. I can't imagine what you'll come up with next to trump these last two announcements!

Sometimes development isn't about creating something nobody has ever seen, but rather improving on existing concepts and providing a robust, built-in solution.

We've still got some great stuff to announce, but Clubs is definitely my favourite 4.2 feature - glad you like it too

Monosnap to record/edit the video, and then a simple MP4 -> Gif converter Monosnap does support saving as gif too but doesn't have any options to optimize/resize, so I use a different tool.

Alright, a slight modification to what @Rikki has above will allow you to use multiple feeds in to your individual forums.  I needed this as I have multiple Pages Databases that we use on one of our websites, and I wanted to pull information from more than 1 location.
{{if request.app == 'forums' && request.module == 'forums'}} {{$id = \IPS\Request::i()->id;}} {{if $id == '5'}} {block="forum_5a"} {block="forum_5b"} {block="forum_5c"} {{endif}} {{endif}} Now my ForumID is 5.  So when loading Forum5 in the sidebar it will now load 3 Custom Blocks.
You can extend on this easily enough to have a complete different set of feeds in each forum.
