Discord has its place.
It's a great tool if you're just starting a community and want to see if there's a need, or you want a semi-asynchronous chat that focuses on a 24-48 hour time window.

However, we have a mature support community so it's less useful. We want to encourage thoughtful posts that have a life beyond a few days. We want others to find these topics from search engines and we want to build a crowdsourced knowledgeable for Invision Community.
If we were to create an official Discord, it would create a brain drain and instead of us being able to look back and look at feature request trends, or customers being able to search for answers to their questions we have a 'here and now' relatively informal chat room.

Hi Andreas,
you should switch from submenus to dropdowns. When the submenu bar is empty it's hidden automatically.
And this is how to create dropdowns...


This is what IPS is using, it's all build in.

There is a bit of mess with ratings and reviews in databases and sorting by Highest rated.
We have 5 fields in tables cms_custom_database_X related to reviews and rating:
rating_real rating_hits rating_value rating_reviews record_rating Depending on what we allow on database, they are filled or not.
Case 1: Database allows stars rating (no reviews)
rating_real -> not used rating_hits -> number of votes rating_value -> total stars (e. g. 1x4+2x5 = 14) rating_reviews -> not used record_rating -> average number of stars Case 2: Database allows reviews (no star rating)
rating_real -> not used rating_hits -> not used rating_value  -> not used rating_reviews -> number of reviews record_rating -> average number of stars This is a database column mapping from applications/cms/Application.php:
'rating' => 'record_rating', 'rating_hits' => 'rating_hits', 'rating_average' => 'record_rating', 'rating_total' => 'rating_value', 'num_reviews' => 'record_reviews', It seems you use the value mapped into rating_average to sort for Highest Rating, that's why you have odd results like this. Rating_average does not consider the number of votes/reviews.
Possible solutions
Solution #1 can be to use both columns record_average AND num_reviews or rating_hits. This would result in more accurate rating like:
3x5 stars (average 5 with 3 votes)  2x5 stars (average 5 with 2 votes) 5x4+6x5 (average 4 with 11 votes) 10x4 stars (average 4 with 10 votes) 1x4+2x5 (average 4 with 3 votes) 1x4 stars (average 4 with 1 vote) Solution #2 can be to calculate ratings based on total stars and votes https://calculator.academy/average-rating-calculator-star-rating/ You already calculate the total rating by star ratings in rating_value. Just do the same for reviews. Then divide the total number of stars by 5 or 10 (depending on how the rating system is configured in AdminCP). Save the result in rating_real (the unused column) and sort by it. The example from above would be different.
5x4+6x5 (50/5) = 10 10x4 stars (40/5) = 8 3x5 stars (15/5) = 3  1x4+2x5 (14/5) = 2,8 2x5 stars (10/5) = 2 1x4 stars (4/5) = 0,8 Can you please look into it? It would really help to have a more sophisticated logic in sorting by rating. 
Thank you!

I would upgrade to 3.x first, then to 4.X. 😉

Great @Darth Vortex, it worked on https://www.duken.nl/forums/nieuws/ 🙂

I guess it's more about the budget then the content. Developers and designers are expensive and a good theme isn't build in 1 or 2 hrs.
The best would be to customize an already existing theme from the Marketplace.

The higher prices will have a big impact on the Marketplace too.
- Many ppl will leave IPS -> less sales in the MP.
- The ones that don't leave won't invest as much as before in addons.
- Less addon sales will make devs switch to other platforms.
- Less and bad supported addons will frighten new customers
(that and the high prices for the basic backage of course).

I can upload an installable version of the newsgrid and the article itself this weekend.
The big headers with the tabs and the overlay are something different because I think they will break most Marketplace themes.

That's just a custom pages template.

If you like dark themes, maybe check out Strikeforce. I'm sure you'll like the easter egg 

There is no online system per app. There is a list of online users https://invisioncommunity.com/online/ You wrote "fake members will appear to read random topics". If Forums is not installed, there cannot be any random topics. I assume that your app assumes Forum exists and enabled. You can add a check: 
if (!array_key_exists('forums', \IPS\Application::applications() or !\IPS\Application::applications()['forums']->enabled)) { \\ do not pick anything to read or check other apps to pick random items (like articles or products) }

What do you use to identify the account? Display name or email address?
I just tried and I can actually replicate the problem of not being able to login with the username there, even though it says usernames are accepted. It does work with the email address though.

Maybe for most people, but that doesn't change the fact that if you want to have more than the limited basic features you have to pay.
PS: I'm a gamer and use it every day, so I know what I'm talking about too.

A downloads button for the Marketplace would be great too.
Now we have to open the menu first but we have an own button for a single club.

Thanks, is working just like described.
