It seems to depend on the "Cache sidebar, header and footer blocks" option now. I am using the value "1 minute". If earlier the widget displayed actual information with each page refresh, now I need to wait 1 minute to see myself in the list of online users.
In fact, the latest versions have very big problems with caching.

You can hide the "Quote" button for all posts using CSS:

.cPost li[data-ipsquote-editor="topic_comment"]{display:none;}

 

I don't need to hide the button in all posts. I am using this code to hide the quote button in the last post on the page:

article:last-of-type li[data-ipsquote-editor="topic_comment"] {
  display: none;
}

This is not a bad solution, but I want to hide the button in the last post of the topic.

Is there some kind of plugin for this? 🤔

There shouldn't be quote button in last post. Quote last post in topic uselessness.

How do I allow guests to choose the type of forum view (Table / Grid / Fluid)? I want guests to have this option, but this button is only shown to authorized users.

I just upgraded yesterday from 4.4.10 to 4.6.2. I really liked the new version 🤩 Good job 👍

Hi! I actually think it's important to show the pagination so someone seeing the topic for the first time can grasp the magnitude of what they're about to walk into.

You can show a button with a number to the last page. Or to the first and last page. But the buttons "2", "3", "4" make no sense at all.

I agree. But the mobile view needs additional changes.

1. There is no need to display pagination, and buttons "2", "3" and "4" make no sense at all. Seriously, who will click these buttons and why? 🤦🏻‍♂️

2. The words "replies", "view" and "updated" take up a lot of space and don't fit on one line in many localizations. They should be replaced with icons so as not to interfere with viewing and to save space.

it's pretty much a 'set it and forget it' plugin.

'set it and forget it' and remember 12 months later to pay $10 again.

Will this be fixed in the next versions of Invision Community or do I need to buy a plugin for $ 10.00 / 12 months for this primitive feature?

My use case was I was replying to a thread and intended to lock it as well.

You need this feature once a year and therefore you want to add extra buttons to the editor window? Brilliant solution! (No)

Your personal preference may be getting in the way of what your community really thinks. As an example I redone my themes post profiles and even made them larger in accordance to where they were. One of the biggest compliments and most feedback I've gotten is how the post profiles stand out.

No wonder. Most people are stupid and lack an understanding of good design.

OMG 😱🤣😭

We've tried to keep everyone informed as much as possible with blogs like this.

"The lack of a consistent spacing scale has led to some arbitrary values being used in any given situation, which again has had a negative impact on the visual harmony of our design. We've therefore implemented a 4px spacing scale (using CSS variables rather than theme settings this time) and applied across almost all padding/margin values. In time, we anticipate fully switching all measurement values to the scale."

We also have to design for a wide variety of screen sizes, so the layout has to be consistent and modular.

But this is precisely why there is a responsive layout - so that the page looks equally good on different devices and different screen sizes.

I don't feel that there's much space to save here without cramming it into two lines and accepting some buttons will overflow.

But I feel there is a lot of space here that can be saved.

1. Why are all the elements so huge? This is not a touch screen.
2. Why do you pay so much attention to secondary elements there (highlighted in red), dropping the main content to the bottom of the page?
   • Author / date creation. I wrote about the author and the date of creation here.
   • Follow. Forums with thousands of members and millions of posts, but several people subscribe to topics. It looks something like this:
   • Promote. Who sees this button? Only admins and moderators? So it only looks good to a few people on the forum, but thousands of other members see a huge empty space?
   • Share. Do you have statistics on the use of this button? This button is almost never used by anyone, but you have given it a central place on the page. Seriously?
   • Moderation Actions. Again — so it only looks good to a few people on the forum, but thousands of other members see a huge empty space?
   • Start new topic / Reply. I wrote about it here.

One more example on a smartphone:

It looks ugly, it duplicates the same action, it interferes with clicking the "Submit" button.

maybe Flarum can be an example, not have to do same, but learn the good of others and improve mine is part of a success...

Wow, I love this minimalistic quoting that doesn't take up space:

Invision is so dated 😞

Maybe a toggle button to enable compact view in all categories / topics of the forum?

It's Full HD. The main content is marked in green. More than half of the screen at the top is occupied by secondary useless information.

And if we use a logo with a large header, then the main content will generally be at the very bottom of the page.

Just compare this:

In 4.5 we've tried to keep headers consistent, so that buttons are where you expect them to be, there's space for additional buttons as each page/app might require

On a smartphone, the follow button is located... at the bottom of the page.

 Takohashi, even sadder I have been doing this for over 25 years 😂

Whatever the reasons, I do not appreciate having the topic list on my forum home page relegated to the bottom of the page so close to the fold.

I contacted Invision support before I discovered this topic but they said it's not something they can help me with.

Which is a shame because I think if you are going to reserve so much space at the top of a page you should at least have some kind of control over it, such as repositioning or disabling.

Is there a converter for Ikonboard? I might go back to using that if this is the way things are going.

 

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about 👍🏻

I wrote about this and showed it on screenshots many times before the release of 4.5. I hope that at least after this discussion, the developers will pay attention to the problem of huge empty space, which worries not only me.

Yes, it’s my assessment that this layout is well-thought-out.

Once again. It is enough to compare screenshot 4.4 and 4.5. The main content (list of topics / posts) should be displayed as high as possible on the page. This was the case in 4.4. Now, I open a forum and half of the screen is taken up by useless elements and empty space.

Lol!

Why did they move the follow button to a separate line, which takes up a HUGE white space??? Previously, this button was in the title bar and did not take up extra space. Read "Web Design For Dummies" before commenting here.

@LoPoSt The "free space" that you speak of has stuff that shows up in it. The top box that you indicate is where the description goes when/if you have one for the category/section.

No! The follow button is on a separate line, taking up a huge white space!
