Happy Hump Day my Invision Community fam! 
 
Invision Community Achievements:
We wanted to kick off this special post with a preview of Achievements. It's Invision Community's take on gamification with our powerful platform. It's something we're really excited to rollout this year (which does not = December 31st lol). 
We don't want to give away too much about it yet, but feel free to weigh in/ask questions 🙂 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
Fix dump:
Here's what we accomplished in the past week (new changes since last Wednesday's Hump Day post):
- Fixed broken 3rd party ACP permissions on Cloud.
- Added a new Spam Defense option to allow registration but require moderator approval of all new posts.
- Fixed an issue where HTML logic of a page may be stored in the search index.
- Fixed chunk uploading when using Amazon S3 with some S3-compatible providers.
- Renewal invoice warning emails will now show tax included, if applicable.
- Fixed an issue with Member Filters happening when members where filtered by subscriptions and purchases.
- Fixed messenger link still displaying on profiles on mobile devices if the user does not have permission to access the messenger module.
- Fixed an issue converting some types of SMF profile photos.
- Fixed an issue where the width of the layout would stretch, caused by long strings of content.
- Fixed an issue where Member Sync onEmailChange may be called before validation when changing email via validating screen.
- Fixed a typo when flagging a member as a spammer.
- Fixed an issue where the DeleteImageProxyFiles task would never finish or not update its progress appropriately .
- Fixed an issue with the REST API where a GET request to records with a category parameter would result in a DB error.
Important Method Changes:
- Added a `$seperator` parameter to `\IPS\CustomField::displayValues` which can be used to define a custom seperator when displaying multiple values .
- Updated method signature for `\IPS\Node\Model::getLastCommentTime()`.
- Added a `$count` parameter to `\IPS\Content::definiteArticle/_definiteArticle()`. If an integer is passed, a pluralized phrase will be used, if available. You should add pluralized strings for any `__defart_*` strings you've already created. The key should be in the format `__defart_*_plural`.
 
Invision Community Live Streams
We've also been discussing doing some live Q&As and webinars for you all to participate in. It would give you the opportunity to ask questions in a live setting and visibly see us respond. Does that sound like something you'd be interested in? Before we dive too far into that rabbit hole, we wanted to gauge your reaction and see if you'd like that. Please reply and let us know what you think and also what times would be good for you! 🙏 
 
And in case you missed it...

In 4.5 we have the following security updates:
Improved password strength checks to detect password values set identically to the account username or email address and to consider them weak. Improved method of encrypting certain text. Improved AdminCP session handling, removing the session ID from URLs and introducing alternate CSRF protections. Improved email change process to invalidate any pending password reset requests. Fixed user not being prompted for two-factor authentication when signing in from a new device. Fixed an issue where it was possible to bypass the messenger recipient count limit. Fixed a niche issue where it was possible in certain configurations to view others profile field attachments on the registration page. Fixed a race condition issue where it was possible to artificially inflate or reduce a user's reputation score. Limited password inputs to 72 characters max to reduce the chance of a malicious user forcing unnecessary computationally expensive operations on the server. Fixed an issue where AdminCP sessions may be usable longer than expected if a community receives little activity. Fixes an XSS vulnerability when quoting posts and comments. This release also contains the patch from 4.5.4 that resolves a security issue with the Downloads REST API Then of course beyond security there are countless performance, usability, and capability improvements since 4.4.

4.6 has improvements to load time for emoji menu, particularly on mobile.

Actually yes I think that is something we overlooked 😊

4.6 has improvements to load time for emoji menu, particularly on mobile.

I would personally be wary to implement this. It is a security feature. I get those sorts of emails all the time from various sites I login to. Yes, they can be redundant but I would rather know the check is happening than not.
