Disappointed that the store was not built with Commerce....
Why do you guys not use your own products? Support with Commerce is ceased, now brand shop with Shopify. What next? Moving community blog to WordPress? Gallery to Instagram? Clubs to Facebook groups and Calendar to Google? Then "just" connect everything with Zapier. 

Are you bored there or something? 

With around 2000+ user contributed articles now in Pages this would really help us.
 
➡️ SEO Titles
SEO needs a real look at, the fact that we create categories there should be a way to manage the SEO Title and structure within each category. Right now there's a lot of pointless words being added to the Record Title so it comes up in the Page Title for SEO results.
IE: [Record Title] [Custom Field A-Z] [Category SEO Title] [Database SEO Title]
The ability to customise SEO Titles for a whole database, with the ability to include Custom Fields in to the Title would be brilliant.  We use a lot of pre-defined select lists which would be useful to have those words in to the SEO title.
 
➡️ Table of Contents
Similar to the way Atlassian Confluence achieves this, just an insertable Table of Contents either within writing the article via a Tag or pre-defined through pages.  Either way, we have some long entries that would really benefit from a Table of Contents.
 
➡️ Dependent Custom Fields
Lack of a better way to describe this, however this really is a bit if a pain in some way so the best example I can give is Mobile Phones for example:
Select Box: User Chooses their Manufacturer (ie: Apple)
This brings up a Second Select Box: User chooses their Model: (ie: 12 Pro)
This brings up a Third Select Box: User chooses their Size: (ie: Standard or Max)
This brings up a Fourth Select Box: User chooses their Capacity: (ie: 256GB)
The benefit of having all these select boxes pre-defined and dependent on each other is to be able to achieve the same in the Sort Filters and gradually filter the results from the frontend.

New suggestion 
Add show rules for database and categories like in forums display settings. It's really annoying if you want to add rules through WYSIWYG editor because it will show everywhere. Moreover, if you have different rules for each category you won't be able to do anything. 
 

New in this release.

Thank you everyone for your patience. That was more painful than it should have been. 😞

Shout-out to @Jimi Wikman for his post about a tickets system using Pages. Internally, we're brainstorming new ideas for the future of Pages. It's down the road, but we'd like to up our game. The more ideas you all have and share... the better!

Hi @Jordan Invision
we use Pages a lot I think. On my wishlist are still
more possibilities for interaction with our community in articles - polls, surveys, forms etc. Schema.org markers as FAQ or How-to SEO features – more than meta keywords and meta description as now, but also SEO title, settings for no-follow etc. per article or Pages database entry a "Table of content" by default, which can be switched off per article additional fields for images (alt text, title, caption, credit, license, image source as URL and so on) better management and SEO options for images background images for categories as for forums grid viewtext area for category descriptions (and not only one text field) an option to show category descriptions only on category sites and not in categories overview. widgets per category and not for all categories together (yes, there's an app for that) the option to set multiple authors for one article snippet preview at least in ACP better options in menu manager to include a single entry from a Pages database (an article for example). So many menu entries are "external links" but actually "things" in Pages. Before we switched from WordPress to Pages, our pain point was for a long time the ugly standard template. I think you give away a lot of potential with the developer driven, more technocratic template. If you want to convince people about Pages, you need a nice article template out of the box. (You should hire @opentype completely 🙂) Once Pages is understood, the many possibilities become more accessible.

It's been resubmitted....

Hi,
Audio notifications were removed from the 4.6 series. My suggestion is to add it back, as our users are missing this feature. Maybe adding an option in the user's account so they can enable/disable it on an individual basis?
Cheers.

The expanded view is a great teaser-feed to get people in, however people wanting to open the discussion now have too many other variables available for them to open. 
Who liked, who followed, last reply.  The actual action of opening the thread is is now harder as that 1 link is moved in amongst all other available links and content.  Making the entire post area clickable would make it easier to open the discussion.  I've just highlighted in blue the area I'm suggesting, or that entire <div> block.

I've been from Ikonboard pre 1, through to when @Matt & co switched away from Perl to PHP and so fourth over to Invision Board then the transition from free to paid etc.  Over the 20 or so years there's been a small handful of decisions I look at and just wonder WTF were they thinking, this is one of them.  To tie an entire customer base to quite literally a junk rated service (just ask the receiving mail servers what they think about SendGrid's reputation! They'll quite literally share their opinion with a bounce back message 😉 ) is one of those WTF moments over the past two decades.  
Not implementing SES is so many levels of stupid it's beyond even trying to understand. Essentially here's something that could make a significant difference to many communities as email is Invision's default outbound communication method, instead of improving that experience for the end user it is actively ignored/avoided.  Don't get upset, some things in the world  need to be so ridiculous they're unbelievable just to create intrigue.

I was flip flopping between postfix and amazon SES but after using SES, screw postfix! 

SendGrid is hardly a stellar alternative https://www.facebook.com/SendGrid/ just look at the complaints all similar, no response from support.
Here's the status of 1 SendGrid account linked to a community with around 4,000 members.  1 day to go and still unable to upgrade an account, stellar service 🙂  /s

 
@bfarber it really is time to reassess SendGrid as being the sole API integrated mail platform for Invision. 
Here's something that's now affecting the experience with the core Invision product. 🙂 

60K Emails/Month on SendGrid $359.40 annually
60K Emails/Month on SES $72 annually
@Charles @Lindy there's a business case here for you to get it done 🙂 
 Undoubtedly a percentage of those savings for smaller communities on a tighter budget would lead to more plugins and community enhancement purchases. 
 So come on, which one of you is mates or shares a yacht with someone at SendGrid that you chose it over SES? 🤣

Just keep your fingers crossed that one of the enterprise customers will request this, thats the way to get this implemented.
A bit tongue in cheek, but lately I believe this is the main driver of IPS roadmap.
