Thx @shiobi, let me check.

I've not upgraded yet, but want to report a possible bug in Pages 4.4.10. If you have an article with two pages of comments, and you land directly on page two with a link like this:
https://www.celiac.com/articles.html/study-shows-worrisome-gut-changes-in-seemingly-healthy-gluten-free-celiac-patients-r5315/?&page=2#comments
or like this:
https://www.celiac.com/articles.html/study-shows-worrisome-gut-changes-in-seemingly-healthy-gluten-free-celiac-patients-r5315/page/2/
using the pagination page 1 button, or the previous of first page buttons do not refresh the visible comments to the page 1 comments. 
This same issue does not affect pages when there are more than 2 pages of comments, for example the pagination works for this:

Since I have so many custom plugins and and skin updates, I am just posting this to see if anyone else can verify this as a bug. I have tried turning off all plugins and used the default skin on my site, and this was a bug.

The net result of this is that people switch off their email notifications so as not to get the notifications they don't want. Bundling together replies, mentions and reactions is a real backward step, and is going to actually end up reducing people's engagement over time. I assume that's not what you had planned @Matt - please look into changing it and allowing people more control, other than stopping their notifications entirely.

We're getting complaints from users that although they want notifications for things like replies and mentions, they don't want or need them for reactions to posts. It would be useful to be able to give them that option. 

There are services like Transifex or Crowdin. IPS could organise a group of collaborators that help translating to their communities languages.

We have released a patch for this issue, you can get it in your admin CP by going to Support and selecting "something isn't working"

We're aware of the issue, we're working on a solution.

I’m having the same issue, is this a global issue? Or is there something we need to do to fix it?

Probably better to post this as a bug report, but yes, I can confirm it on all my sites, both running 4.4 and 4.5. 

I have a user who asked for their username to be changed as their registration name gave away too much personal info. I did so, but I understand there is an issue whereby the old name still shows up in previous threads where that user was quoted and cannot be directly edited. 
Is there any way to rebuild a topic so that the quotes use the newer updated username?

To expand upon your original question, if you needed to manually convert hex color code to rgb, there's a template plugin (which works in CSS files) for that.
{hextorgb="$variable" opacity="1"} {hextorgb="#fff" opacity="0.1"}  

FA4 was rather amazingly last updated in 2016 and almost 3 years since FA5 was released, but despite multiple requests from clients, IPS didn't/wouldn't support it. Somewhat frustrated, but fortunately not in a sexual way, we chuckled cheekily that FA6 would be out by the time FA5 was integrated, but more seriously it is IMHO still a missed opportunity as there were a lot of really good features like Pro, Duotone and Light icons and of course the super useful themed Icon Packs.
So I personally think, respectfully and sadly, that IPS 'dropped the ball' by not utilising a team member to update the outdated FA4 integration. If IPS had launched an integrated proprietary awards and badges feature (er, hello?) for members after adding the automated rule logic of member promotions, it could really have shined by supporting FA5's theme packs and new styles like the multi colour Duo Tone icons.
Some time ago FA launched kits for FA5 with the ability to upgrade to FA5 on the fly, but the FA4 to FA5 shim although super useful, meant accepting a performance hit, especially if you use more than one style of icon. 
So here's hoping that Font Awesome 6 once released later this year will be integrated into IPS a lot sooner.
If you have a Pro licence for FA5, look out for the limited time discounted FA6 Pro upgrade offer.

If you haven't already seen it, enjoy the crazy video (that probably should have been shorter!) 🤔

Yes, I think justification for upgrading outdated third party libraries extends far beyond just the oranges vs lemons design scenario of the icons, it's also about performance and efficiency as well. Bells aside (!), to take perhaps another analogy since the early 20th century the humble car has still had wheels, a motor, seats and lights but mankind didn't stick with the Ford Model T or the 4th era of vehicles because it was essentially the same thing. People upgraded their for cars for aesthetics, safety, security, performance, availability and efficiency when the designers and manufactures improved them. FA4 is slow and inefficient, not desirable qualities end users appreciate.

The reason is essentially that it'd be a big undertaking for us to update to FA5 for relatively little benefit for most customers. Some people (like yourself) would obviously have more need for it, but on the whole the cost/benefit of upgrading is minimal. They do have a migration script but again I'm not convinced it's worthwhile to include that on every site.

I need to add "og:image" to all posts. How can I do it?

Thanks!! 😄

had the same problem
none of the fixes given worked for me
resolved it myself as per the below
of course this may not work for anyone else and you do need to know what you are doing editing wise
and it only works for artist and songs for me not playlists - which appears to be a spotify issue
but if desperate and can't wait for 4.5 ....
 

Will 4.5 include support for hCaptcha?
CloudFlare just switched to it due to growing privacy concerns with Google.

Yes, I am facing the same issue!

For some reason when I try to include a Spotify link (to embed), I get this error:
Anyone else experiencing that?
