Hello,
A couple of suggestions:
Couldn't these buttons be the same size? It gets pretty weird like that. It gets even weirder when there are only 2 buttons.
-----------
Another visual detail that could be better is the grid view of the Downloads categories:

 
No user photo. No date (submitted/updated).
Could be something like this but better:

Yes, either the ability to define a virtual location (such as "The Hangout") or the ability to disable location searching entirely.  

I actually like it. I hope they do it more... like a hundred times. 😄

It would be really cool if you could save a search as a stream, aka I could search for "hump day" 😉 then create a stream which I could subscribe to keeping up to date with the results either on the site, rss or email digest.
I understand this might possibly be a little heavy for mysql searching but it could be a feature that required elastic or at least disabled by default.

@Rikki quick question if you can help (or anyone for that matter).
It says you can't use Web Push and the homepage without the GMP PHP extension. I've also been told you can't have this on shared servers.
Is this correct because it means I feel like I am stuck??

"Let me know in the comments which feature you're looking forward to the most!"
It has to be Push Notifications, Optional add as a Homepage and Achievements by a mile for me. Whilst I'm desperate to start using these features now, I know it'll be well worth the wait 😄

About ETAs I want to throw in one aspect I am very content with IPS: It's done when it is done which has kept up quality builds. I am a client and am in the same boat as you. I want everything asap in high quality, done quickly and cost effective.
There is a lot of beta software out there and a lot of banana products and I don't want to use that.
If I need to chose I would chose quality over time:

Could you also re-design the gallery app to look modern and in time with this era..
I like that IPS is now focusing on modernising the look and feel of the suite to compete with what's already out there.
Please modernise the gallery app to look clean, professional and trendy with full exif support.
Thanks 
 

 

We are working on making sure they're crisp across all browsers/devices 🙂 🙏 

I agree with what many people here are asking for. I would really appreciate a way to surface what badges exist, how they are earned, and some explanation of the ranks and points system. I totally understand the sentiment of not wanting to surface this info but I think it needs to be an option.

I've been trying to emulate a kind of 'Gamerscore' for a few years now but its not quite worked out as I couldn't get it to work exactly how we wanted it to with some of the 3rd party resources here. I'm absolutely delighted this comes part of the core product now as we need more reasons to incentivise and create some buzz for members as they are giving up a part of their day, even if its for a few minutes, to spend time at your home. I'm really looking forward to things this could open up and maybe link to additional stuff as mentioned above such as MemberShop, etc.
I can see how you got there after the conversation you had about this so appreciate the transparency. Playing devil's advocate with this, no one wants to create the issue of people 'breaking the system' however, a part of Gamification is that in itself. Even if you don't publish it, people will then push to find ways to understand how it is being done and then you can end up with unintended consequences on your website. I think its down to each individual Admin/Owner to work out how they utilise this with their members. If you have the right types of people at your website already then they'll adopt how you want it to work. I certainly want to be transparent and honest with people on how they 'Level Up' - otherwise potentially the adoption rate won't be as successful as how people want it to be.
And @Jordan Invision, great little video! 😄

I won't argue with that. I'm just trying to show the potential other side of the coin we may have to consider - and any improvements here should always be seen as a positive opportunity to shout home about rather than just keep hidden.
After all, some badges can be 'hidden rewards/surprises' alongside well-known ones. That's what makes achievements a great addition with a great potential.

It uses the operating system methods so it varies by OS. Generally they look like all the other notifications you get in the course of a day 🙂

Yes, once the beta process has finished, we are looking to bring this to downloadable/on-premises licenses.

Customize your language strings.  It's easy!
Most people only think about it for second languages, but I think it's one of the easiest and most powerful methods for crafting a unique 'lingo' for your site.  

We have an amazing trophy app in the marketplace ? 
 
 

That's great to hear! Really can't wait to use some of the features i've been reading about.
