Custom Notifications is amazing!!! I use Group mention only for my staff to mention other staff teams because I recommend my staff follow staff relevant forums so my users don't need the ability to do that.
I know custom notifications will never be implemented as core, its been said before but I can't recall the post. Its basically seen as intrusive to a users experience.
For me I use it to remind people of stuff.

It'd be great if there were an option for announcements to be pushed out as notifications to specific user groups (as in the little bell notifications, rather than a box above the forum/sidebar as it currently is).
Not sure if there is a reason this isn't included, but I'm sure many people would have uses for this.  🙂

A very belated response - but thanks for pointing me in the right direction for those plugins.
I'll certainly take a look at both, but I still feel in the future it would be great to see more announcement options within core IPS.
For example:
Announcements via notifications Announcements via private messages Announcements as popup window Announcement where something must be agreed to / clicked / acknowledged before proceeding to use site (similar to when rules/terms change, but customisable for other uses) I realise different paid plugins can do some of these, but I am sure I can't be alone in hoping that IPS consider adding more ways to directly reach users in future versions. 

There’s a bug with the rebuild. I’m working on it and then will rebuild here. 

We have been using filesystem for sometime and just updated to 4.5 and wondering with new description under data storage tab, which one is more advisable for faster, yet stable performance.
Filesystem MySQL Redis We are on 64 gb dedicated server for single site with regular peak traffic during certain hours of the day.

Is there a way to embed the Google Forms form inside a forum topic?
Or is there a plugin that creates forms to be filled out inside the topic and only administrators receive the answer? 🤔
 
Thanks!

Hello,
Is there a way to set available reactions per user group? (Group A can use Reactions 1-4 and Group B can use Reactions 1-10).

Ahh another addition of Hump Day! A lot has changed since last week's HD. 🤠

One other thing we haven't spoken about is that you can allow your moderators to deduct points from a user when they are warned.

 
I have a feeling you guys have lots of comments / questions / concerns (and props of course) to submit, so please feel free to sound off in the replies below.

Can hide "buy now" button after purchase file? 

I noticed this here also, in the marketplace. Not sure what the logic is on that.

Hi All.  Hopefully this is a simple fix or a missed setting that I'm not seeing.
When a member buys a file, and they go back to the file page and it shows 2 buttons "Download This file" and a "Buy Now" button (screenshot below).  But since they bought it once, I don't want them to buy it again.  Is there a setting that I'm missing that hides the "Buy Now" button once the file has been purchased?  It has caused a lot of confusion with my members, several of which have bought the file several times.
I've reset my theme just in case there was something altered, but the problem remains.  I'm on v4.4.9.1.
Thanks for the help.
 
 

Thanks for the response.  I see it does the same thing here, never noticed that before.  Wish this was an option -- this just looks confusing to me, and is not the sort of thing I expected to see after buying the file.  I am absolutely going to be asked, "Why does it still show the purchase button after I already bought the file?"  I can see the case for someone wanting to purchase multiple licenses for a file, but I'd rather see a "Gift" option where you can purchase a license for another member of the forum.  Many digital stores offer this, and it's something I've used numerous times in the past when purchasing licenses.  And it's definitely something that would get used by people on my site.
Let me think about this before I take any action.

You can't. It only checks if it's a purchasable file and show it again.
It can be "removed" with a plugin. Send a PM if you want me to take a look on it.

How can I prevent this?  Settings for this are all over the place, so it's a bit confusing to setup.
Thanks,

Because the user can purchase a second licence of the file. I understand that this should be optional by file but it's global.

Greetings,
I'm working on setting up paid downloads on my site.  After setting up the payment options and permissions, I uploaded a new file, set the price to $15, and purchased it using a credit card.  After doing so, I see the "Download this file" button, but I also see the, "Buy Now - $15.00" button, even though I've already purchased the file.  Why is this button still visible?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

4.6 has improvements to load time for emoji menu, particularly on mobile.

This topic inspired me to make tagging mandatory when a user creates a new topic (they could add tags previously, but it wasn't required). I'd like to see in a few months what the tags functionality looks like so I can begin explaining to my community how to follow certain tags in a custom Activity Stream. It's an effort to begin really utilizing the Activity Streams and ideally shift our homepage from the top news stories, to a page where they're seeing content they chose. 
A tag cloud would be cool 👍 

Awesome. I was just trying to figure out why my block that pulls a feed of randomized featured images from the gallery wasn't displaying random images, but the same ones over and over.  Hoping this fix will resolve that for us!

Understood @Jordan Invision.
This could be interpreted many different ways.
"I disabled the poop emoji, but my members are still posting it! BUG! HELP!!!!! I PAID MONEY FOR THIS!!!!! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??!?!??!?1!?!1111one one one 💩"

hi, it would be nice to make it so that custom added emoticons show up after lets say animals and nature category instead of being at the very end?
what I'm trying to suggest is to let us order the emoji categories however we like. not only the newly created emoji categories but all of the  categories.
