Just replied to your PM.
It's not a supported feature but I can provide a patch for the later if you have ftp access to your files?
My best estimate would be early 2018. I just don't have the time this close to the holidays but the first 1-2 months of the year is extremely likely.
Definitely take your point though and think a lot of it's quite fair. But I would say a few things in my defense. Firstly the whole IPB4 upgrade process took a lot more time then I expected, especially with IPB 4.1 and then 4.2 soon after requiring compatibility updates. My focus kinda has to be on bug fixes and continuous updates for IPB 4.x for the 40 odd plugins and apps I have before I start work on new points features. I needed to get that level of stability I had with the IPB 3 series before I could start on new features again.
Secondly, this app was always about long term support and not making a jammed pack points app like previous apps. I choose the name "Basic Points" and priced it lower then most of my apps for this reason. That's why it will be updated when IPB 4.3 breaks something and why it will be updated when IPB 5 comes along. And not a boom and bust approach where an app was built and then abandoned. But I do admit there are a few key features like Commerce support and a few other things that have been suggested that are crucial and should be part of that long term support ASAP.

Fosters Crew is pleased to present the newest version of Favorite Content Bookmarks v1.1.0, available immediately in the IPS Marketplace for download.  The newest version of Bookmarks takes community bookmarking to the next level with a major feature: Categories.  
Categories will help your community's users arrange and organize their personal list of bookmarks.  Before, all bookmarks were clumped together into a single, long list.  Now, users can define new categories to sort and categorize their bookmarks as needed.  Categories can be named anything your user's want, and can include a mixture of both public and private bookmarks.  Users will see the new bookmark categories on their "My Bookmarks" page.  

 Categories can be added in two different ways:
Add bookmark - As soon as a user bookmarks an item, options will appear to either save into an existing category or to create a new category.  This allows users to create categories 'on-the-fly' during the bookmarking process.   My Bookmarks - On the My Bookmarks page, users can manage their bookmark categories by adding new bookmark categories. This allows them to manage and add multiple categories from a single location to organize and view all of their bookmarks together. Categories can be edited and deleted:
My Bookmarks - On the My Bookmarks page, users can manage all of their bookmark categories to add, edit, and rename.  This centralized location allows users the ability to manage all of their categories together from a single location.  


Several other enhancements and bug fixes have been released in v1.1.0, so we encourage you to check out the latest version or pick up a copy in the IPS Marketplace!  The application is still a work-in-progress, so please share your feedback and bug reports in the Support Topic here and Tracker.  

Guys, C'mon...?!
Why don’t you guys build your own, or integrate with some of the top email marketing solutions?  We have all these “enhanced” features that integrate with other services, but the one that seems to be the most obvious is strangely missing. IPB community owners need a proper email marketing solution! 
With all due respect, because I love your platform other than this issue..., I don’t get how you can offer a COMMUNITY platform with, so many brilliant ways to monetize… without a proper email marketing solution available to your community owners to use.
For that matter, why are you guys not sending out regular newsletters to your customers? That would seem to be evidence that you are totally missing the necessity for email marketing for any online community system, be it yours, or your customers. Peculiarly strange?
 
The bulk mail system is NOT a proper email marketing system. It has limited design capabilities. It has no metrics/stats. It caps your emails out to about 200-400 a day, if you have thousands of subscribers, this is entirely impractical. It offers no ability to make forms to capture sign-ups.
 
Do an integration with:
- www.campaignmonitor.com
- www.getresponse.com
- www.mailchimp.com
- www.mailpoet.com
( this is a plugin for wordpress that is SUPER light and simple. But it does everything anyone needs. It covers the basics. Something like this would be perfect ). 
... or build your own.
 
Any email marketing system DOES NOT have to be fancy!... All we really need are the following features:
- A decent design interface.
- Metrics.
- The ability to send out thousands of emails in one send.
- Mailing Lists.
- The ability to make forms that can capture sign-ups in the HTML widgets that will then go straight into a mailing list.

One more question Adriano,
Are there any plans to add a share option to ads?
Many of my users want to be able to create an ad and then share directly from the ad to facebook. This will allow them to share to multiple groups on facebook without creating the ad multiple times.
It would work just the same as how sharing a topic currently works, by clicking the facebook icon at the bottom of the screen.
Thanks

I can't reproduce.
Confirmed. Images placed on 1 line.
Give me some time to fix this.
