I clicked into this very excited, thinking you'd be showing off an AI-generated 'executive summary' of topics. Genuinely curious: why not feed those posts with high impact signals into an LLM to summarize? Not long ago your approach would have been great, but now I think will be in danger of feeling pretty clunky, manual and old fashioned. This seemed like it'd be the perfect opportunity to use a modern tool to solve the problem.

Hello,
If I remember well, you should be able to edit questions and answers but not delete them, as people already played.
Isn't the EDIT link showing up?
 
----------------------
EDIT: Just tested and it doesn't show. I'll update the file with a fix.

The "Geolocation based registration filtering" sounds good, but maybe you could also provide an option to flip it to a whitelist? So you can choose a global setting that'll apply when a geolocation filter entry for the country is not present, and then you'll add the countries that should be treated differently/whitelisted instead.

I second this.
This would make it more clear to the user, why they've got this badge and what it means.

Badges awarded automatically may include a brief description explaining what the badge was awarded for. The same field would be useful for badges added manually.

I would like to divide badges into thematic categories (e.g., for activity on the forum, for participation in contests, for numbers of posts, for numbers of likes) so that they display in the profile view in a batter way. It's not a big deal - just a category name, under it a list of badges (as it is now), another category name and another list of badges.

So in recent weeks my forum has had a wave of spammers who have been able to freely post blatantly obvious spam on the site. Word filtering is absolutely ineffective to preempt them, and in the most recent case, isn't stopping them at all despite the terms being added to the post filter. In the support thread I filed, it was made clear your current anti-spam system only deals with user accounts, NOT with the content of the things they're posting. I'd say that's proven to be more or less useless. What IPS needs is preemptive/proactive spam defense, not reactive flagging and content deletion.
To that end, I'd like to very strongly suggest that IPB set up a partnership with the Akismet anti-spam service that's widely used by Wordpress blogs and a number of other sites and applications. Their system works by analyzing the actual content being posted and will return a yes/no type of response as to whether they think it's spam or not. From my own experience, they're rarely wrong about that. I'm using it on a bug tracking site I wrote myself, along with an obsolete forum package I still keep online for an old MUD.
A properly implemented Akismet setup will flag spam and store it in a temporary place for moderator review. From there, the content can be checked. If it's not spam, the moderators can click a button to indicate this, and a false positive is sent to Akismet for the system to learn from it. If it is spam, you can either delete it on the spot or let it sit in the pool until a specified expiry time (on my other 2 sites, I use the suggested 30 days). If a post actually does manage to hit the forum, the moderators can click a button there to have it reported as spam and their system learns from that as well. So it's very adaptable. What's even cooler, is the content scanning is done in real time so there's no having things sitting in some queue for days before it's evaluated by their servers.
There's a great deal more useful information to be found at https://akismet.com/ such as developer support and API documentation etc. I'm sure they could explain the gory details a lot better than I can. In the end though, this would be a wildly more effective way of dealing with spam than what we currently have.

Hi Charles, could you please release your Course addon also for us on the self-hosting? I don't mind not having the features which are dependent on the tech that's for the cloud. I really need an app that members can use to sell courses on my site. Similar to the downloads app, where the site owners receive a percentage from the sale. My site is very young and small, and I just can't afford your cloud package that has all the applications I need. 

Working on an integration currently.

Maybe in a future version.

Please update your site to the latest release of the software. There have been bug fixes with emojis 

He's posting a screenshot from this site @Marc Stridgen - so I think the bugs may still be there in this version. 

Hello,
I've discovered a bug in how IPS' lazyloading works on dynamic elements.
in ./dev/js/library/app.js, line 61, you define a hook/override for $.fn.html. This makes sure that if dynamically loaded HTML contains lazyload elgible content, you instate the lazyload handler on it.
The problem seems to be instead of looping each lazyload element, ips.utils.lazyLoad.observe is called on the entire element. This then registers the IntersectionObserver on the entire element, causing each lazyloading element to be loaded straight away, defeating the point of the lazyload.
The fix is to instead call ips.utils.lazyLoad.observe on each lazyload capable element, like it's done elsewhere in the suite. I have patched this locally, but thought it would be useful to share to the IPS developers.
Happy new year!

IPS does not make old versions of the software available.  If you did not download it before 4.7.4 was available, you would need to wait until your host installs PHP8.  Also...  many hosting providers enable the ability to run multiple versions of PHP.  Check with them to see if they can allow you to choose which version of PHP you run on your site.  Once they install PHP8, you'll then be able to switch to it at your convenience.  

CKEditor 4 is reaching the end of life (source). Instead of jumping onto the CKEditor 5 bandwagon, I propose Invision consider an alternative editor. There are many well-established modern editors such as, for example, TinyMCE, Froala, Quill, and Redactor, to name a few. Any of these would make satisfactory alternatives.
 
CKEditor may be 'old school,' but it has become bloated, larger in file size and load time.  Most of the issues it encounters often have to do with responsive layouts on a mobile device and excessive load time. As mobile continues to dominate the landscape, I feel it may be prudent to focus on an editor development that has kept up successfully with the times with the least issues.
 
Changing the editor should not be expected in the next release. But a roadmap should be considered for a future transition.  Thank you for your time and consideration. 😀

Currently it looks bad if we want to award ranks for e.g. a round number of posts, likes or years since registrating on the forum. If a user gets a badge for getting 100 likes then there should be an option to automatically hide it when the user gets another badge of the same type, e.g. for 1000 likes. It makes no sense to display these "smaller" badges in the profile.
