I've never used Subscriptions or needed to, but I'm happy this is being added in case I decide to. Thank you.

I stand and applaud the efforts of everyone that contributed to this massive improvement, this is getting closer and closer to having a complete and fully customizable visual page builder.



Thank you!

Godspeed to all of the third party developers in the next couple of months.

Hopefully not sooner than need be, there are still some bugs to work out. I'm sure you wouldn't want to deal with members of your forum messaging you or posting how they are dealing with numerous issues. I say it gets released around the beginning of August.

i just noticed something...we are using 4.5 now in this community!! i think cause it looks different  😇

I think it is a waste of your resources for v5... but good to see you have taken this direction... I hope you consider a editor that is like Gutenberg into wordpress (it include tinycme editor and inline option and MORE support old bbcode into new blocks)

This reminds me of the Visual Composer/WPBakery days. Now it's Elementor all the way. Live preview would be nice for sure, but I'd opt for even MORE customizations over having live preview. Hopefully we will see more and more options added with each update after the release of 4.5!

We've been using Redis for all our cloud sites for a long while and we've not seen any issues.

We support ElasticSearch 7 in 4.5.

What Redis improvements do you need?

For the GIF usage.

Great work as always IPS. Love the focus on mobile, this is very important, as more and more people are visiting our forums on mobile these days.

This stands out to me: Is it possible to have the Follow text centered, even if the following count was in the thousands, there should still be enough room to keep the Follow text centered.

I was going to say also isn't possible to put the < Go To Topic Listing and the Next unread topic > on the same line? But would there be a circumstance where there would be more words for either, which I would then see how they both couldn't fit on the same line.

Very well said. 😊

I find that there is no sense to cut the image (avatar) by highlighting the member's badge icon. Why is that?
The badge is additional practical but not essential information on the identity of the member. The member defines himself and is quickly recognized above all by his image and not his badge.
Thank you for this gamification option by the very practical badge, but see the place rather than cutting the image in half!
We say in the comment that there is plenty of white space, you have enough space then I think.
I think on the signature side, it would be very good.

Oh dear god in the heavens above, yes, can we get it to look like the image on the right? This looks MUCH better and takes up less space, obviously. PLEASE IPS.... 

Thanks @Takohashi

Agreed - we avoid making large changes to the frontend on the whole (save for new features, which necessitate updates by their nature). The downside of that of course is running the risk of appearing outdated, or not being able to employ newer techniques/technologies. It's a balance between competing concerns as always. 4.3 and 4.4 didn't have any substantial changes, so we feel 4.5 is the right time for a moderate refresh, saving a much bigger update for a future (major) version.

Thanks Rikki. I love the IPS platform and get nervous whenever big changes happen. I only ask that they are well though out and necessary. 

Can you redesign the profile page so it looks like this.

I outlined the justification for moving links out of that top area in the entry - it allows us to display comment states much more effectively and simplifies the comment area.
No ad slots have disappeared, and our last substantial design improvement was ~3 years ago - it's well overdue.

Very "improved"...
