It's not a bad idea, but I think it's better to let users choose pronouns from a list, instead of typing them by hand.
Unfortunately, IC does not have a drop-down list in the profile fields. We can only use a checkbox or a select box fields, which are not 100% adapted to this.

So I decided to have a go at upgrading the main site on my MAMP install and I thought I would choose to NOT run the new achievements. Upgrade literally took 2 minutes and was very smooth (as it should be on a local install).
Now in ACP I can see that the rank system is still the same as if the achievements was enabled. The only difference being that the points and badges are not shown on the front end. But, I can still customise all the points and badges and the rules? If I'm using the old ranking system, why is it still displayed as points in ACP?
I cannot see a way to enable the full experience so I guess you must be sure on what you choose before upgrading?

And where have the pips gone if I'm using ranks? 🙄
I'm a little confused, and I'm finding it that I am getting confused a lot this week. 🙁

Very, very impressed with achievements. 
Two things I love.
1/ The ability to reward activity by location. This will allow me to award, for example, VFX Expert status to members who post best answer n times in a VFX Q/A forum.
2/ And the following I can see being incredibly popular. My wife was thrilled with it.

 
One small request for future updates:
Please would you consider grouping achievements by named group (same way as you do with custom block authoring) and rendering them to the front end in separate containers identifiable by user nominated class or group name. This will allow us to, optionally, visually separate loyalty type rewards (for example logs in 10 times) from proficiency awards such as receiving an expert award in a video editing Q/A forum.
Either way, very happy with what I have seen so far. Installed on a test server without a hitch and so far I have only seen one small issue with VideoBox custom fields which has been reported to the author.
 

Recently, Instagram has implemented a new self-expression feature. They added a "Pronouns". LinkedIn added the same field a little earlier.
More and more users feel the need to inform which gender they identify with. Transgender people in particular do this for understandable reasons. Pronouns are not obligatory and Instagram users can decide whether the pronoun will be visible to all visitors to its profile or to those who follow it.
In the UK, for example, Instagrammers can choose between his, he, him, she, her, hers, hir, e, ey, em, eir, they, them, theirs, thon, thons, per, pers, fae, faer , ze, zir, zie, xe, xem, xyr, co, cos, ve, ver, vis, vi, vir, ne, nir, nirs, nee, ner, ners, mer and mers.

Of course, we can use our own built-in profile fields, but they are not translatable and will not be displayed at the top.

The "Topics to Follow" widget could be based on topics that are already followed by more than (x) people, or are currently popular.

The "Who to Follow" or "You might like" widget could be added in the profile and be based on people who follow the same person as us, or people who are popular, eg have a large number of posts or reputation.

We're using here a custom template which doesn't have the id included, but I've noticed few issues with the current approach.
I've posted an internal bug report for this

I would also see this possibility in the future.

 

Hey team, it's been 84 years (if you know you know), but...
We're excited to announce that Invision Community 4.6.0 Beta 1 is officially live! 🎉 
@Matt has a blog post on the way detailing all of the amazing additions, including how many commits and lines of code that were changed. A lot. The answer is a lot. 
Just to refresh your memories, some of the biggest changes/additions include:
Achievements (Points!) Web app and Push notifications Anonymous Posting when posting as a member Highlight Topics with replies from specific Groups Spam Improvements (And more!) It's available per request for Cloud customers or, if you're self-hosted, by manually downloading it.
Self-hosted: please make the necessary backups before upgrading. Because this is a Beta, please understand there is an inherent risk when upgrading.
The more information/feedback we get, the better we can optimize and improve things 🙂
If you find something and would like to submit a bug, please do so here.
Looking forward to hearing what you think! Sound off in the replies below. 

Just to follow up on this, we worked with SJ77 and there was an issue with their Twitter app configuration on Twitter's developer website. 
If anyone runs into this, I would recommend reviewing your app configuration with our Guide, as things (unfortunately) change frequently:

It seems to me that IcoMoon is now only used for installation / update and in development mode.

A small feature, but it makes me want to click on the tab.

I was supposed to write about it 🙂
The logo on the mobile version is slightly blurry, a few versions would solve the case, I think.

I think there are two different use cases:
Editor for user-generated content. Should be simple, not too many options, clear and foolproof. I think that the actual IPS editor fulfills the requirement. Editor for articles wrote by admin. Should be powerful, have many options (text positioning, blocks, columns, grids, custom code pieces, custom styles, extendable with SEO and other plugins, have additional extensions via Marketplace etc.) For this case, the actual IPS editor is not enough. 

Update // September 14, 2021: WE MADE IT! 
After months of hard work behind-the-scenes, we launched our newly-refreshed website and community theme. We have a formal blog post about it on the way, but we wanted to share this soft launch with you first 🤫. Feel free to share your feedback in the comments; we're here for you and are chatting!

Hey all, Happy Hump Day!
@Charles and I joined forces here in Las Vegas this week because we're planning something super exciting. 🤐😎 
After 4.6 rolls out, we're focusing on freshening up our homepage/subsequent pages and match that branding with this community. That may or may not be an understatement, but if there's anything to take away from this teaser it's that there some slick visual changes on the way!  
If you guys have any websites/homepages which are clean & minimal that inspire you, we'd love for you to drop some links in the comments. We already do have a firm idea/concept planned out, but your opinions matter to us! We'd like to hear from you. 

A Mobile Hamburger Menu with a gesture would make it much easier to use. What do you think about it?
 
Examples:
https://codepen.io/adam2326/pen/YwOqqB
https://slideout.js.org/

ipsButton_split
/* Child */ html[dir='ltr'] .ipsButton_split > :first-child, html[dir='rtl'] .ipsButton_split > :last-child { border-top-left-radius: inherit; border-bottom-left-radius: inherit; overflow: hidden; } /* Child */ html[dir='ltr'] .ipsButton_split > :not(:first-child), html[dir='rtl'] .ipsButton_split > :not(:last-child) { margin-left: -1px; overflow: hidden; } Before

After

ipsToolList_primaryAction
@media screen and (max-width: 767px) { .ipsToolList_horizontal > *:not(:last-child) { margin-bottom: var(--sp-2); white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; } } Before

After

ipsMenu_headerBar
.ipsMenu_headerBar a{ overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; } Before

After

I miss the "Cancel" button. Can we expect the button in the future?

For me, it is not important which editor to use, but how exactly it will be customized by IPS.

The main thing I hope for is that IPS won't carry over all the same bugs that they added to the current editor and haven't been fixing for years. Such as the complete inability to delete mentions in mobile Chrome, for example:

1620649541089.mp4
As well as get rid of additional overcomplications, such as replacing existing editor functions. For example, fast and easy URL embedding on clumsy and slow:

I just moved the members' titles to the custom field.
Just create a new text field with a maximum length of 65 characters.

My field has the ID 7. In the query, change the field ID to yours.
Additionally, add a prefix before the tables, if you have one.
Make an SQL query
UPDATE core_pfields_content t1 INNER JOIN core_members t2 ON t1.member_id = t2.member_id SET t1.field_7 = t2.member_title; Caution.
You do everything on your own accountability.
Before executing the SQL query, make a backup copy of the database just in case.
