We do not show roadmaps at the present time. Any information related to changes on the product will be shown in blogs, or indeed in release notes. However I do have comments on some of those
This is already possible. You can manually add badges from the admin CP. Go to any member, and on the badges section, click on manage
Other than the method above for admin, this is not Something in which is likely ever to be added, as it simply goes against the intention of the system
This is already available. If you go to any users profile, you will see badges at the top in the "Your achievements" section. You can also click into that which will give you a full list and count
 

I have a small list of requests specific to this feature. Can you let me know if any of this is on the roadmap, or in general will/may be implemented, or if there exists a solution to any of them?
Ability to award Badges to an individual without needing to tie it to a specific post, and/or the ability to award multiple Badges at once. My community is a group of video game collectors. As such we've based a bunch of manually-awarded badges around stuff like "Has collected X games for System Y". We've implemented a "Badge request" thread, wherein users make a post and provide proof, e.g. a photo, so we know who to award what Badges. In the current system we need to go get random posts from each user whenever they request more than one Badge, and/or request that they do 1 post per request. This is quite cumbersome as-is. Descriptions per Badge. Right now all we can do is a title and icon. It'd be great if we could also have a description on each Badge so people know why they were granted the Badge (ignoring the "message" option - sometimes people will see a Badge on a user profile and be curious of how to earn it themselves. I see that there's a roundabout what to do this with the message, but that's a lot of clicks which aren't necessarily obvious to a user. Ability to award Badges to oneself. Staff members for instance could save me personally a lot of time by handing out their own badges to themselves. Similarly, I as an admin should be able to add the "Has a gaming tattoo" to myself, without having to ask another member of staff to do it for me. Ability to see a number of earned Badges on posts (if perhaps even only on desktop).  The old trophy system which I had to purchase to use had this, and it's a missed feature. Right now people have to dig into a user profile who happens to have badges to see that they exist at all. They're intended to be a bit of bling on a user but I see no way to actually feature that they have them to show off. If there's a PHP template or block I can use to make this happen myself I'd love to know. Ability to list all Badges on a page via a template or block or similar. I have a page where I did this quasi-manually by exporting the XML list, translating to JSON, then translating that to static HTML: User Ranks & Badges - Video Game Sage Perhaps there's some PHP code which lists them all. Even if I could literally lift this off the Admin CP as it exists there it would be sufficient. Any way to automate a public facing list of all Badges (and User Ranks!) that can be earned would be a huge help. Right now the thought of adding new ones is a cumbersome idea. Sort/filter the dropdown when awarding Badges. I have almost 400 badges in the system. They sort according to the order they were entered into the AdminCP, which means that categorizing, sorting, etc. them is currently impossible and as-is any new ones added will be at the bottom of the list rather than sitting with their peers. The ability to categorize/place in folders within the system could help a lot.

This would require a customization of some kind as we do not outline this on a page. Otherwise, you're more than welcome to post this as a suggestion in our Feedback forum

Please see my thread here: 
 
 
I'd love the ability to change it so that editing a blog doesn't bump it to the top of Latest Activity. It's a relatively abusable feature once someone realizes that this happens as they can continue to edit the blog post over and over, keeping it at the top. I'd prefer not to have to make some arbitrary rule that would punish users for editing their blogs, as it's not black and white - they'll always easily just say "well it's a living document" or similar.

I'm afraid, this is intended to happen when content is edited. If you do not wish for this to happen, I would advise creating a topic in our Feature Suggestion forum to change this.

Invision itself has deactivated the application, making it entirely unusable:

You can use the ban filters for this. ( ACP => Members => Ban Settings )

I just installed the latest update and the tool has disappeared from all posts, despite still being enabled. For some reason, when I DISABLE it, the button comes back, however the page itself with the posts is gone. 
Any idea why this might be happening?
EDIT: Turning it off/on/off/on looks to have resolved the issue. Perhaps it was caching. Carry on!

If you click on one reaction and then quickly click another the reaction bar gets all messed up. The ability to remove your reaction disappears, the wrong reaction applies, and reactions clone on top of other reactions. Really gets jumbled. It SEEMS that even on a refresh, things kinda stay weird (note the order of them after my page refresh).
Video of it:
 

@RoleplayUK Seems like $this->_item is null, because the trophy or medal the app's trying to load can't be found. As a temporary fix, you can try wrapping the offending call in an if statement to check if the trophy or medal is loaded properly.
On line ~245 of applications / trophies / sources / Trophy / MemberTrophy.php, try replacing:
public function getItemImage($class = '', $sizeForFa = 2, $addTitle = FALSE, $menu = TRUE ) { return $this->_item->getItemImage($class, $sizeForFa, $addTitle, $menu); } with:
public function getItemImage($class = '', $sizeForFa = 2, $addTitle = FALSE, $menu = TRUE ) { if ($this->_item) { return $this->_item->getItemImage($class, $sizeForFa, $addTitle, $menu); } } Hopefully that'll stop the errors from appearing. Keep in mind the trophy or medal that can't be loaded won't appear on postbits.
@Douglas Glover That functionality already exists in the app. Can be found at example.com/trophies or example.com/index.php?app=trophies&module=items&controller=index , unless I'm misunderstanding.

Hi @Adriano Faria, I just installed this plugin, but doesn't seem to be doing anything (I can't see the buttons or anything on the site). Is this plugin still working/compatible with the forum software? Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it by disabling and then re-enabling it!

You could also use

Some other examples:
Unfortunately it's not THAT easy to understand the expression code yet, that's why we're working on a better documentation, but hopefully there's also going to be an UI in a future version.
 
 

Thanks! I checked there but see no difference from a diff check. THAT SAID! 
I cleared the cache as suggested and boom - there it is!
Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks for bearing with me, working great now!
