A good idea! The change will appear in beta 2.

I'd like the option for signing up via a phone number for my members, but preventing email registration based spam isn't the reason why, it's more for the convenience since a good majority of the population that actively uses the internet own some sort of smart phone.
I've seen the documentaries that show warehouses full of workers that have about 100+ smart phones for each person with different phone numbers.  They are paid to automatically sign up for websites to spam and/or boost engagement, depending on what you paid for.  There are a lot of prepaid plans you can get for a little bit of nothing these days, too.  Even if we pretend that they wouldn't shell out money on phone plans, there are SEVERAL accessible free apps, including Google, that will give you a phone number for free (and allow you to change or sign up for new numbers for free with other emails) that can be used via Wifi, something you can get for free or pay for and share with several other people.  I don't have high hopes for anything argued for preventing spam's sake.
Interesting.  I've never signed up for a website that required my phone number, not even Facebook.  🤔  The only app that has my phone number is DoorDash, but that's because I'm a lazy millennial and don't cook my own food.  😂

I don't recommend a company currently in a lawsuit for illegally selling user's data and supporting CPC propaganda by suppressing activists against the inhumane treatment under the current Communist regime.
That being said, Arrowchat is compatible with IPS and just had a major update to its software.

Hello
Can possibly Registration verifcation by Mobile Number , means members register at forum put mobile number at registration form and code send to register member mobile , and many features with this like one mobile number use for one member ,any other member use this system error with already registered etc
Login 2fa code send at Mobile 
Password recovery with mobile number etc
like this idea ? 
 

I only found an issue when I went back to read an old topic and noticed side scrolling going on. After nailing the post and grammarly user which caused it, went back through the members post history to find multiple pages effected by it. 
Was an easy fix in the end, I told him I would ban him if he didn’t stop using it. He stopped. 😄

So so tricky and hard work that I have to
1. open invoice,
2. click View Shipments,
3. click View Packing Sheet,
4. print the sheet,
5. close the windows tab,
6. click Invoice again to enlist again all invoice,
7, you have to recorded which invoice number that already opened and print,
8. Then choose another invoice and start again the process from 1 to 7.......
****Please add Print Packing Sheet and Print Label buttons diretly into the invoice template,
****Please add Prev and Next buttons into the invoice page.

Fairly few people know about the cookie thing, and we've had had a cookie-based tool on our previous platform and it worked very well.

Then you have people that live in the same house, you have people that do share devices because they can't have a computer per person in their house or utilize public locations (like libraries) to register/view a site.
No other service gives a flying pig's butt about it, why should you? If the new account isn't causing issues, why does it matter that they have re-registered?

I don't know enough about it to give input, I just know that my members have been begging for an app for mobile push notifications and I support whatever can get us there soon.

Thanks! I used the search function and that topic didn't come up.

With FA6's release on the horizon (a little over a month), does Invision plan on updating the FA version anytime soon?  I've seen so many topics/posts from members asking for an update to FA5, but IPB 4.5 looks to still be using a version of FA4.

Here there is a plugin for TOPICS only; I'll try to make it suite wide somewhere this week:
 

So when you submit something to downloads you can’t rate (or last I checked) your own file. This should be either an option or the same for pages, forums etc. I think it’s silly to have an article rated by the person that made it. Unfortunately save for hiding or deleting it I can’t prevent it.

We have talked about hashtags a lot internally over the years.

The core issue is that we're just not sure how useful they are on a forum. They work on Twitter because it's the only way to create a 'channel' of similar discussions. There is no other way to separate out conversations. So adding the tag makes it clear you're talking about that topic.

Obviously, with a forum you have categories, forums and topics. Adding a hashtag would be largely superfluous.

We have a tagging system for content already, and I would say that 98% of Invision Communities do not use it, and of the 2%, a small handful use it in a meaningful way that aids content discovery.

Hashtags are often mistyped further diluting the usefulness. Using your example, on twitter I've seen:

#blacklivematter
#blacklivesmatters
#blm
#blackouttuesday

Twitter actually is smart enough to know these are largely the same topic, so you will often see something like:

Trending
#Blacklivesmatter
Also talking about: #blm, #blackouttuesday

That's a great system but takes a lot of AI/human collating and computing power.

So our current position is simply that adding hashtags won't really increase content discovery in any meaningful way.

Facebook has hashtags but almost no one uses them.

Most hashtags are added for irony, like:

We're not going to add hashtags into 4.5

#sorryNotSorry

This creates a bunch of records and consumes a chunk of computing power and database size for almost no purpose at all.

I understand this viewpoint, but at the same time I also understand why so many people want features that exist on more mainstream social platforms due to the popularity and to have more of seamless transition.  People who are used to the way Twitter works would be more inclined to stick around on other websites that function like Twitter because people hate change and learning new things. 😛
But I also agree that a lot of features people borderline harass the staff to add are things that could be done in a quick plugin or app to satisfy the needs of about ~50-100 communities and leave the rest of us that don't want it alone.
Morrigan is correct.  We already have the tagging system that helps with content organization, I would much rather IPB improve upon this feature instead of adding something new or changing its function completely.  I wanted to compare how this test app functioned differently than tags just out of curiosity's sake.

Besides all functions the top one missings are the application and the notifications. I believe if it was available we would seek less functions among the ones available in othe social media applications 😉

I want to throw out there that hashtags (pound signs for us old people) mean something different on different media platforms. So making an educated and good decision on this is, and should be difficult.
For example you use a hashtag in discord and other chat programs to link to separate rooms. Whereas they are used to link other content on social media streams. Its not quite the same thing to assume that a hashtag is just one thing.
When you have a limited space to type content I can see how a hashtag is super important but you don't have a limited space on a forum. TO ME, I think that the better recommendation here is to make the tag section more prevalent as a hashtag center. Call it "Hashtags" call it something more media-centric. Allow people to #callit and then utilize them more for similar content.
I don't think the problem is that we "need" hashtags but more that we need to make our tagging system work as if we already have them.

250 cookies this was enough to make me run away from that site.
I believe that here people want to have a board full of functions, make it weigh down a lot without thinking that those applications are better as external addons to avoid having an IP.Board really heavy. Hashtags, stories, tiktak embeed does a board really need these things?
I think IP.Board has many big shortcomings, but these are just the last on the list. one thing that comes to mind all of a sudden is link cleaning ie, convert a link:
https://www.amazon.com/LG-OLED55CXPUA-Alexa-Built-Ultra/dp/B0829RYP8V?pf_rd_r=ASVJVSMFM2Q6R0VW4JJ8&pf_rd_p=76f54966-688a-4b94-8474-c7a8ff47e986&pd_rd_r=8b6dd349-94a1-4d86-ac13-216375283b45&pd_rd_w=0hjH4&pd_rd_wg=MAanm&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d to
Amazon.com: LG OLED55CXPUA Alexa Built-In CX Series 55" 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV (2020): Electronics I think it's pointless to propose infinite things and it would be better to think of, “Would this be useful for everyone or just me?” and then think about whether to fund the addons or propose it to the staff. So many councils are trying to make IP.board become a "facebook clone".
I hope the IP.Board staff will keep the board as light as possible.
 

It’s on the topic you linked above.  I haven’t tried reading anything else.  I just wanted to see how the hashtags worked. 

Nah, I haven’t renewed since early 2019 and have bought/renewed many marketplace purchases since then. 
 
I’ll contact support then!

Thanks for the input. I wouldn't want to run it as a classifieds thing, but as a proper online store for the members where they can upload product photos, deal with pricing and shipping and get their notifications of sales, reports, etc. 
Hopefully we might see this in future versions of the product. 

Ahhhhhh why am I being spammed non stop???

@Matt I’m sorry if this isn’t your area but you’re the only staff member I know off the top of my head.  I had to delete the app to stop the notifications from coming one after another!!
@Fosters Thank you for the link. I’m a little hesitant to buy something that hasn’t been updated in almost two releases though.
