When using an app for fun, this kind of thing got me excited.
I use IPS for my business, so this means nothing but problems and tons of work coming soon. My community likes stability and hates change just for change sake. V5 sounds like a bunch of change, even for everyone who wants to maintain the same experience for their communities. 

I don't suffer from FOMO and I understand my community far better than anyone else. I don't jump on bandwagons or follow the herd. Only dead fish swim with the current. 
It's about having vision and content, not the new shiny object. 

Thank for the more reasonable reply. I hear you, but also am hesitant to buy into change when the only information available is sparse. There are some awesome communities full of information and interaction, still running terrible looking versions of software. For them, it's about getting and giving information fast and efficiently. This is the opposite of a site like YouTube where it's about dragging people along until you can show another commercial or sponsored segment or the site trying to get you to watch more videos until your eyes dry out. 
Perhaps I'm the only person without patience to weed through a mountain of garbage just to get the nugget of info I need. Much of the internet has become exhausting now days. 
I frequently think of this magazine cover compared to magazines of today and websites where there is so much going on it causes a headache. More isn't automatically better, and neither is less. There's a happy medium, and using technology to meet needs is always good.

Thank you guys for this.

As mentioned in the setting, it is actually possible for the IP to be spoofed when using that setting. Not always maliciously, I might add. When using that setting, its using the IP that is provided by the proxy, and therefore if that proxy is providing the wrong IP address, then the wrong IP will be shown

Is Cookie Management mandatory?  Is there an option to not show any cookie consent on the site?

You mean 4.7.9 🙂

Right, the next version of this will have the following added:

I have also developed the functionality for submitting reports to StopForumSpam, but I have concerns about making this available in the resource as they are very picky about reporting being related to FORUM spam as opposed to email spam (here is the most recent discussion about it: https://www.stopforumspam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9305) What about the other APIs that the resource can check against? Well, I don't see any API method for submitting reports to mailcheck.ai, check-mail.org or neutrionapi.net, so I can't build the same functionality for them.  

I recently noticed the link to display a user’s images in the profile is now visible even though the user hasn’t uploaded any images. 

Is there a way to disable this link if there are no images?
 

I’d pay hundreds of dollars for a new app.  I’d also pay to have the old classifieds content moved into the new app. 

This is really troubling and will eventually put all of us in a really bad spot, if it isn’t resolved. 

Do people have exit plans to get out of Classifieds, but retain the content? That’s my worry now.

Coming soon...

I use SuperGrid and I'm on 4.7.8.  No issues noticed.

Hi @opentype
Have you discovered any specific issues with regards IPS 4.7.8 compatibility as yet? I noticed quite a few Pages templates got changed this time, but it’s only been out a few days.
Many thanks.

@Chris027 It's a bug in the 4.7.7 version:

This works for images, but not for other formats, so to make it easier we've added the URL to the left information sidebar where you'll be able to copy the URL.

 
 
And regarding the not shown image preview: This was a bug that I've also spotted while working on the URL enhancement. It will be fixed in the april release.

What I do is control-click the file and choose Copy Image Address. 
I can't use media embed because I'm coding my pages in HTML and that does not parse embeds. 

On a separate note, I do not see a preview of the image in the File Overview tab? 

One item holding me up from moving to the cloud hosted plan is the lack of SFTP access. Even if this was to a single folder in the uploads directory or something, it's all I need. My feature request is some type of uploading capability. Perhaps it's there and I don't know it.
I need this because I upload advertising banners to a nonstandard directory, then use custom code to call them. This way, no ad blockers block my ads. 
I also use SFTP to upload the audio MP3 of my articles, then put them into the articles with the code below. I would attach the MP3, but this displays how many times each article is listened to for some reason, and the accuracy of it is questionable, in addition to the fact that it's a stat that nobody needs to see.
