@Ehren the header layout picker is awesome. Would love to see a block for IPS advertisement so you can let’s say put an ad on desktop in the header or maybe just an html block. Just an idea for some additional custom header layouts.

Looks great. I’m always going to be on self hosted with my licenses because of cost, so will work with what you give us. Live community features for self hosted would be nice. Anything to keep members engaged.

Impressive if this is stock/out of the box in terms of pagespeed. Homepage: https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/ Topic page needs some optimization: https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/topic/2-welcome-to-the-invision-community-alpha-preview-site/ Not too shabby. Are JS and CSS being combined?

Looks good. Will iframe embedding work for whitelisted domains if you paste the url into the body of the editor (automatically) or do you have to click the link button every time?

Sounds good, thank you. The principle behind the second one is to encourage enagagement to maintain a subscription level, cost free or lower cost. I think someting similar can be achieved with account credit for activity. You set the amount of credit applied to each member based on logins, visits, achievements, etc. Something to encourage members to maintain their subscription level for reduced cost or free.

I'd also like to see subscriptions expanded to encourage activity

Glad to see coupons for subscriptions. There were other requests such as monthly/annual pricing layouts that would be nice to incorporate into V5.

IPS used to have a nice chat app a few years back. I do like this one and would agree, it would make a nice feature independent of live topics. Hopefully live topics doesn't see the same fate that IPS Chat did in terms of lack of usage.

Same thoughts. Looks great! Ads are a priority for me as well. I would love to see new and creative ways to monetize in v5. I don’t run any sites without monetization/ income, otherwise I would shut them all down.

Looks great and I'm happy to see that JS is reduced with CSS on some of the scrollers. What about advertisements, same positions? That's crucial or the bill isn't getting paid...🤣 I suppose we can use Google Auto Ads and let Google dictate our fortunes/misfortunes..🤪

Revisiting another year later...would be nice to reward active users with a subscription...😝

I can see that, if you are not really into monetizing your community. For me, it wouldn’t work. If I’m not earning from monetizing my sites, I’m not really interested.

I would be interested as well as we continue to watch features not available to self-hosted clients. I have multiple licenses and although not happy about the direction, I can understand business models changing. I don't fault IPS for evolving and differentiating services. At some point I will probably have to make some hard decisions myself, hopefully way down the road. Cloud pricing just does not compare to having multi-license self server/hosting. Plus, I can tweak and modify my environment as needed. I run my own cloud..lol. As far as non-IPS staff members jumping into topics like this to provide "answers", I have to agree...it can sometimes be a bit annoying as I read threads. I'm not trying to discourage discussion its just that we pay for answers that are sometimes expected from IPS Staff only, just saying.... However, maybe those individuals are "interviewing" for the next open IPS staff role...at least it seems like that. If that's the case, best of luck to those individuals! 👍

I watched the video and it's great to see that gallery video transcoding will be a cloud only feature... That's sarcasm...I hope they at least did something with the titles for SEO. It really would nice if you allowed self hosting customers to use AWS libraries on their own. Or give a developer the ability to create these features and support with a plugin or app. That goes for all the "cloud only" features. Your cloud pricing is just not comperable to self-hosting, especially multiple licences.

Best of luck to you @Jordan Miller, sounds like a great opportunity!

I like the simplicity. Is there a way to re-arrange the order or does that go by apps order? It would also be great if there was a custom search to add lets say a downloads category, specifically.

Facebook groups is the issue. Find a way to incorporate facebook groups into IPS forums, simultanious posts, zapier maybe, IDK... but figure that one out and you can really launch on the back of social media. People join facebook groups pretty fast and easy, they also engage because they are already on facebook.

Revisiting this a year later... would be nice to reward active users with a subscription. They stay active for a set amount of time or reach a milestone, they automatically get a subscription.

Sure, but the theme here lately is cloud, cloud, and now enterprise only… that’s the disconnect. As for where to begin and end…The difference is that normal users have the option to get Gallery and even on self hosted plans (currently), Gallery isn’t for “enterprise only” customers, which is just not affordable or realistic for the majority that frequent this forum.

Maybe make an enterprise only membership and forum then. Who really cares if you will never be an enterprise client? Why do I need to know about something I will never have available to me? I've wasted time reading someting thinking its a great new feature, that in turn, will not exist for me and many, many others.

Since video streaming is an enterprise option only, I would say it does not apply to the majority on these forums. I would not have posted this, it only points out what the majority will not get. Especially with a title like "video streaming coming soon"...click bait!

Is this really for cloud enterprise customers only? How many of them are in these forums? Maybe you should put a halo or some sort of identifier around their profile pics…they seem to be the gold standard around here..lol! Anyone can use AWS, it isn’t restricted to large users. Why can’t that vendor offer a plug-in/app?

Video streaming sounds great, although I'm self-hosted so I will wait to get excited. I would settle for 3rd party video conversion/streaming from cloudflare 😎

Talking about workflow, I would just be happy if this one feature introduced in 4.6.2 actually worked. I know its more involved, but what a nice idea to draw people back if you are moderating/approving content. As for new features? There are a bunch of suggestions that are awesome. Below are a few more. Promote to linkedin, is this possible? Is there any type of FB groups integration even possible? Cross content posting? Add Forum Index data-pagecontroller for each view, for CSS styling per forum view Edit Content within Moderator Approval Queue Imports via RSS to build content - RSS Import - add tags and RSS Enclosure Tag Other File Types like audio/mpeg Support more sources of podcasts as player url embeds and RSS import with embedding the actual players within posts from enclosure and other tags.
