Since I am using Pages databases a lot, I always run into the same problems. Here are two related to filters. (I could probably add more, but I was dealing with these recently.)
Checkbox as a filter.
This option is unfortunately missing. I often need to give optional filter choices, e.g. as here on Amazon:

With Pages, there is no option to do this. The Yes/No field isn’t optional. Using it would only ever allow one choice in the filter set (Yes or No). Filtering across all records without a choice for this field would become impossible. So it’s almost unusable. The Checkbox Set for some reason can be used as expected, but it only makes sense for multiple choices per field. For one field, it would still create the “select all/none” interface. 
Solution: Allow checkbox field to be a filter, where no selection doesn’t do anything and a selection show all records with this checkbox checked.
Pages relationship fields as filter.
I always struggle with this one as well. This field makes Pages database so powerful and gives us a competitive advantage over other software. 
Filters per radio, select box and so on are fine when there is a fixed set of options the admin can set up in advance. But what if that is not the case? What if the list of options needs to grow and needs their own database entries as well? For example, the publishers and authors of a book database. If they are set up as related databases, it’s impossible to filter the book records, because the relationship field cannot be used as a filter. But it is something users would expect. 
Solution: Allow the relationship field to be used as filter with one or multiple options. 

I have created a ticket for you on this, and someone will be in contact

Appreciate that 🫠 and thank you!

Congrats Jordan! Thanks for all your updates you've brought to us over the years and good luck for the future 😄

Happy Hump Day! Sort of… 
I have a bit of news to share with you: this will be my last Hump Day as I am stepping down from Invision Community. 😢 
I am transitioning to a new role at Amazon. I’ll be creating content and engagement solutions for AWS. 
I’d like to take a moment to thank this community for welcoming me with open arms. When I first started my journey as an Invision Community team member, I focused on community advocacy and connecting clients with the team. We quickly realized my, um... exuberance was better suited in marketing and sales. 
Creating content around Invision Community opened my eyes even further to how brilliantly crafted this platform is and the team behind it.
I've also genuinely enjoyed communicating with industry professionals every day who showed interest in adding a community component to their business.
So many incredible Achievements (😏) happened along the way; I’m grateful I was a part of Invision Community’s success as we blazed through the 20-year anniversary. 🎉 
Now, you won’t be rid of me entirely. My own community, BreatheHeavy, will still remain on the Invision Community platform. I look forward to staying connected with all of you here!
Thank you for engaging and interacting with me these last few years. 
Please feel free to PM me here if you have any feedback, questions or well wishes. 😃 
I want to give a special thanks to @Charles for being my mentor and seeing potential in me (even when I didn't). 
And before I go, here’s a list of updates and changes made to the platform in the last seven days:
 

Thank you, 🙏

Here's some errors logs after update on last IPS version. Running PHP 8.1
BDI version : 1.0.17.1
Regards.
A class in an app extends the class \IPS\brilliantdiscord\Singleton for which no file /applications/brilliantdiscord/sources/Singleton/Singleton.php exists! The method scanner skipped comparing that file to any of its subclasses A class in an app extends the class \IPS\brilliantdiscord\ActiveRecord for which no file /applications/brilliantdiscord/sources/ActiveRecord/ActiveRecord.php exists! The method scanner skipped comparing that file to any of its subclasses The class \IPS\brilliantdiscord\RateLimit\RateLimitedException extends \LogicException, but the parent class couldn't be loaded. The class \IPS\brilliantdiscord\Util\UnhandledDiscordException extends \RuntimeException, but the parent class couldn't be loaded.

Just to note, the above is not instead of disabling all 3rd party items. 

It shouldn't be an issue as the app is disable. Something wrong in the framework.

If it is disabled, it shouldn’t point an error. New version is pending. let me know if you have FTP access to your server. 10 seconds fix.

See the content of the log in your ACP.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
 

I just upgraded to Mac OS 13 with Safari 16.1. As far as I understand it, this setup now supports web push, but the notification settings in Invision Community don’t reflect that. 
Am I missing something? Does Invision need to change something to support Safari now?

 

Currently it looks bad if we want to award ranks for e.g. a round number of posts, likes or years since registrating on the forum. If a user gets a badge for getting 100 likes then there should be an option to automatically hide it when the user gets another badge of the same type, e.g. for 1000 likes. It makes no sense to display these "smaller" badges in the profile.

@Daniel F, what happened to the pending version? 
Yes, there was, uploaded on October, 17, unless I'm crazy.
Anyway, uploaded again:

Hello, @GazzaGarratt!
The application uses a core poll table, so most likely Achievement rules should work correctly, but this has not been tested.
I think i will update it next week!

Hi @Matt and @Jordan Miller, this suggestion seems to have picked up some fantastic traction! Any thoughts on whether this could be part of the core in a soon-ish release at all? I'll obviously believe the 'Who Was Online' functionality is one which definitely would add significant value/enhancements to your block thats currently available out of the box.
Thanks in advance! 🙂

This was fixed for an upcoming release.

New version of this resource will add the ability to choose type of event to be used in Calendar:
Both Online Events Physical Events
 
- Online:

 
- Physical:

 
If you choose EITHER in the settings, form won't change as the user will be able to choose ONLINE or PHYSICAL.

While you are still tweaking the Events app, please add settings for the various new sections. I’m sure they make perfect sense for Lego’s international community, but they will not work for many other communities. For example, a community for a local organization might never ever need the “events near you“ feature or location search. 
Search section: show/hide In your area: show/hide Also: mode (overview/monthly/weekly/daily) could be a choice of options just like we can choose the view modes for forums. 

Some of us may be interested in offering only online events, so I would also add: 
Type (Online Events / Physical Events😞 show/hide

Invision Community is growing! We are excited to welcome a new team member to our Customer Service team so we can better serve you!
Please help me welcome …🥁… @Gary!

Gary has been a long-time fan and user of Invision Community. We are excited to have his experience and fresh perspective on our team. 
 
This is what he had to say…
 
Share with us why you wanted to join the Invision Community team.
I have been a huge fan of forum software and creating websites in general for so many years and stumbled upon Invision Power Board whilst I was still in high school (circa 2004-2005). The first forum I created was on Invisionfree (that brings back so many good memories!) and I remember creating so many different types of communities. I registered an account at Invision Community in 2007 and always dreamed of creating a successful community, but finding a niche proved to be very difficult. Last year there were positions advertised at Invision Community, and whilst I was not successful then, I decided to apply again for the more recent ad and was pleasantly surprised when I heard back from the team: persistence is key! Personally, forums have always been a passion and hobby of mine, and to be able to spend time on them in an official capacity is such an amazing opportunity and I thought I could bring something new and fresh to the Invision Community family.
 
What excites you about this role?
Aside from having a passion for customer service and helping the community in whatever capacity I can, I am most excited about the freshness I can bring to the community. I am an advocate of working collaboratively internally and externally and I am really excited to see what Invision Community has in store for us all to maintain its standing at the forefront of modern community software.

Gary, we are so excited to have you! Welcome to the team! 🎉
