bfarber got a reaction from Jordan Miller in Web push notifications, native sharing & offline support
The link should do as it says and stop all email notifications. Having said that, it's not a new feature; it's available in the current release.

bfarber reacted to infotech in Battling toxicity in communities with kindness and vulnerability
Hi Jordan & thank you for your post.
I am by profession, a psychotherapist, so I understand where you are coming from. I have seen many forums collapse, including a forum for clinical psychologists. John Suler points to something called, "the Disinhibition Effect", where anonymous users hide behind this anonymity & behave in ways they would never behave "in real life".
I don't want to turn this posts into an analysis of behaviours, but sometimes approaching someone can help. I am the Director of a support forum for people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus & I had one very angry person write a very angry post to something I said. It's often hard to read something unpleasant, but I made contact privately and I offered validation for her feelings. The response was favourable. I did not validate the behaviour but could understand, in her context, why she felt what she did. She responded by saying this was the first time someone had taken the time to try to understand.
There are people, however, who are enraged & want to destroy anything good, including a community. Not everyone is a therapist or wants to engage with very unpleasant people. It's also a matter of time, money & competency. Contacting someone may even make the situation worse & the end result may be that the Moderator will be left with difficult and unwanted feelings.
@Davycreferred to vulnerability & often this is a hidden component which we don't see or understand. The ferocity and rage is a cover for that vulnerability, which often has nothing to do with the current situation, but from the past, which gets triggered in the present. While I have a great deal of time for Mindfulness, when this rage and vulnerability is engrained, it is not possible for that person to stop, think & not react. Compulsion control is difficult for this type of person who has been damaged, usually from a very young age & this leads to an inability to monitor one's feelings. The world is split in good and bad, an either or without a middle way.
Nevertheless, there is merit in thinking about what to do in these situations. Thank you for a thoughtful post.

bfarber got a reaction from sobrenome in 4.4: Extend Invision Community with the REST API
The members REST API endpoint specifically (this does not apply to other endpoints), allows you to set undefined member properties through the rawProperties request parameter.
&rawProperties[member_points]=100

We have not implemented REST API Schema yet, however it was brought up in our internal suggestions tracker as a result of that topic.

bfarber got a reaction from sobrenome in 4.5: Invites and Referrals
This blog entry describes a new feature change in our upcoming 4.5 release.
If you need help using the referrals feature from Commerce in the current release, I would recommend submitting a ticket or posting in the peer assistance forums.

That's already the case:)
The ACP statistics have already a timeframe filter.

bfarber got a reaction from sobrenome in 4.5: Search Insights
For this release we have focused on the search logging (and the UI to inspect those logs). We share your excitement about future possibilities - knowing what users are searching for will open up a lot of possibilities. We could show "trending" content based on recent searches, implement more intelligent auto-complete options for searches, all sorts of things. Baby steps though.

There's some nice ideas here in the comments, and I'll try to take note of them for future releases, but please also remember if you have any requests for changes in the software you're always welcome to post in our feedback area as well (for those who may not have). 🙂

bfarber reacted to opentype in 4.5: Commerce Trials
Happy to report, it works. On one of my sites I rarely sell any VIP memberships. It can takes months to sell a single one. I turned on free trials this morning and got the first person signing up almost instantly. Within a few hours more the person moved over to a full paid membership.

bfarber got a reaction from sobrenome in 4.5: Improvements for theme designers
It is presently in an area Marketplace contributors have access to. Some of the pre-release developer/themer information has been posted there, but will likely be moved to our Guides in due course.

bfarber got a reaction from sobrenome in 4.5: User Interface Improvements
It wouldn't be hard to extend it to code blocks, but it should be noted that clients have requested doing this for quotes quite a bit, but I can't recall seeing any suggestions requesting we add this to code blocks. This is why we strongly encourage clients to post in our feedback area so we can gauge which features our community are most interested in.
(We take in input from other sources as well, just to be clear)

There isn't anything further to report on the suggestion at this time, no. Presently when the password is cleared out that's it, we have no record of what the previous password value was. We can take your suggestion into consideration for a future release.

bfarber got a reaction from Matt in Make working from home work for you
In contrast to Matt, I like going to a coffee shop sometimes (usually I'll go for several days in a row, then stop for a while). I don't live in a big city, so our coffee shops are never crowded, there's always space, and I simply lock my computer if I have to go to the restroom. If someone stole it, they wouldn't be able to do much with it anyways. I also use a VPN for additional wifi security.

There are no permissions for blog categories (at least at this time). They are for organizational purposes only.
