I'm impressed by how quickly new versions are released. I feel like the software gets significantly better with each update. Thank you. 🙏

In my experience working on professional and personal applications and code (Python, Java, etc), these AI assistant models via ChatGPT/CoPilot/etc are great starting points and can help get you down the right track but are very prone to mistakes and gaps in functionality. You can keep iterating and refining but you often get into cycles of inconsistency and hallucinations, spending more time trying to contextually prompt it through the issues than you would in manually reviewing/coding a bit more to get it further along.
They'll get better and better over time, but models will only output as good as your prompts and context guide it to. And even then, they have boundaries/limits to their context capacity and can lose or ignore important aspects (without telling you so and despite you continually instructing it otherwise). Again, they are great at getting you started and helping you understand/troubleshoot/fix specific issues, but they aren't at a level yet where you can create deeply complex or heavily integrated applications in their entirety faster (or at all) through prompts alone. There is no doubt they'll help you fast track though, so I highly recommend adopting them with your coding!
Just my .02, they are great learning tools, I use them every single day whether it's in my professional projects, personal projects, or in my personal life.

Just a note... this happens to be on my task list for either 5.0.6 (hopefully) or 5.0.7.
Hang in there, you'll have it soon.

I know it's a little more work but using an application to create complex PHP widgets is a better option long term. Not only can you code these widgets in a proper IDE, you can use version control to rollback changes. In addition, the platform doesn't have to use eval to turn strings into PHP code on the fly which is fairly slow and not very secure.
It's a different way of working, but you can achieve the same outcome.

Can you clear your system caches first please? That should force a rebuild of all the last post data.

I can confirm this is a bug. Logging it internally.

Off the top of my head... you should have something in your template that says ipsData--table or ipsData--{$layout}. Change that to ipsData--minimal.

I'd consider this a bug. I've logged that in our internal tracker.

You can accomplish this by creating the widget in your ACP -> Pages -> Blocks. There you can modify the block template and enclose the entire thing in an {{if \IPS\Request::i()->id == 2}} or whatever the forum ID is.
You'd then use that custom widget on your page instead of the default topic feed.

Sorry. I had manually cleared that for you, started to reply, and apparently never hit submit. 😬

This is so transformative for Pages. Thank you to @Esther E. for taking the time with me to understand the use case for it. I can now build a News front page from stock IPS without having to build custom blocks.

must be Monday! 🙂 Hope no other issues show as my trial ends tomorrow.

Instead of custom locations, version 5 has an advertisement widget. You can create the widget and drop it anywhere you need.
If you need a shortcode, you can use {block="my_block_key"}
You would need to request them, only we can add them.

There is a fix for this issue already in the works for 5.0.4.
