Better display of file attachments
Ahh, I see what you mean now. Yes, I totally agree with you on this.

Better display of file attachments
Generally, a more structured āGalleryā button in the post editor (where you can line up columns of thumbnailed images in an organised fashion) has been something Iāve asked for, for many months (years?) now. I hope itās something the team can work on for a near-future V5 update (maybe 5.1?) because itās probably the biggest missing piece of the puzzle in an otherwise incredible post editor UX experience. A good gallery/image grid option is the one thing Iām truly missing from Wordpress since moving over fully to Invision Community, if Iām being totally honest: ^ Letās implement this into V5ās post editor!

Need the point function
That was always a third-party function and hasnāt really been a part of the core Invision Community offering; I wouldnāt expect something like this for 5.0, but it might be a good suggestion to make for later versions down the line.

Removal of the top '+ add' new content menu
I recall Matt saying on the official Invision site once that the ā+ā menu is indeed planned to disappear in favour of more contextual placements of buttons (i.e. āNew Topicā in the forum app, āNew articleā in pages app etc), but canāt say for certain if thatās still the plan. I guess not enough people were using that feature enough (although I wasā¦ but then again Iām lazy lol)

[Google Chrome] V5 Design Craziness
Not sure whatās happening here, but I just checked my V5 instance on Google Chrome (macOS) and itās looking a bit crazy in there. Hereās how it looks on desktop Safari (Version 18.0 (20619.1.26.31.6)), as it should look: Hereās the same page on Google Chrome (Version 129.0.6668.59 (Official Build) (arm64)): Hereās a different set of blocks on the same page in Safari, as it should look: And hereās the same set of blocks on latest version of Google Chrome: Iāve tried resetting caches, hard-resetting the page, even updating and closing/re-opening the browser. But it still looks the same broken mess on Google Chrome. :( EDIT: Also getting some crazy design issues on this instance too:

Tag Pages - Remove 'Recent Content' Tab Time Limit?
Just checking a few of the Tag pages I have on my Alpha 13 instance, and noticed that a lot of the ārecent contentā items on a few of them have disappeared, leaving only one or two items left on the page: Iām assuming itās because thereās a ātime limitā in place for the platform to assess what is considered ārecentā content, and removes any items past a certain time frame (when is that? Two weeks? A month?). Is there a way we can have a setting to override that? I can imagine having many Tag pages on my community that would have a certain āshelf lifeā (i.e. a tag page dedicated to a movie release, or a specific event), and would prefer to have āarchiveā tag pages populated with content by default, in case a user decides to check it out months/years after it stops being relevant. Also as a side note; that image above lists only one item under āRecent Contentā, but the date is months agoā¦ so if there is a ātime limitā on these, I wonder what it keeping that particular content item from July 14th on that Tag pageā¦? Unless itās a bug?

[A13] Widget Does Not Disappear in Tablet View
I have this image widget on the Page Editor. I have its visibility settings saved so that it should only appear in Desktop view. But it still appears when sizing the browser window down to ātabletā resolution. And when viewing the site in Theme Editor, the block is still visible when setting the view to āTabletā. ^ The block appears in āLarge (desktop)ā view - this is correct. ^ The block still appears in āMedium (tablet)ā view - this is incorrect. The block disappears when Mobile view is activated, as expected. Itās just Tablet view where the block ignores the command and still appears.

Copy To Database: Configuration Error
I think I had a similar issue in a past alpha, but upon taking screenshots for an entire different topic for the Suggestions forum I came across this whopper. Steps to replicate (for me, anyway): Create Topic Post Topic Actions > Copy to Database > Create Article from topic (Fields changed: Title, Content, Allow Comments [from unchecked to checked], Copy Posts [from unchecked to checked], Show Item Message? [from checked to unchecked], Use Original Author [from checked to unchecked], Image added, Tags added) See the following error: OutOfRangeException: (0) #0 /var/www/html/5000021/applications/cms/modules/front/database/topic.php(322): IPS\Patterns\ActiveRecord::load(23) #1 /var/www/html/5000021/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(128): IPS\cms\modules\front\database\topic->form() #2 /var/www/html/5000021/applications/cms/modules/front/database/topic.php(84): IPS\Dispatcher\Controller->execute() #3 /var/www/html/5000021/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(169): IPS\cms\modules\front\database\topic->execute() #4 /var/www/html/5000021/index.php(16): IPS\Dispatcher->run() #5 {main} Backtrace: #0 /var/www/html/5000021/init.php(859): IPS\Log::log('OutOfRangeExcep...', 'uncaught_except...') #1 [internal function]: IPS\IPS::exceptionHandler(Object(OutOfRangeException)) #2 {main}

Why doesn't the Home have a flow layout like X?
Community admins can choose what specific page/app in the suite is set as āHomeā, on this instance it directs to the front page of the Forumsā¦ but one could just as easily make it the āActivity Streamā instead which works a bit more like a social media frontpage. :)

Thank You IC Team
Agreed! I think V5 is going to be a massive step up, and I canāt wait to road-test it in beta and adapt all of my V4 stuff so I can refresh and turbo-charge my community! I think users will really dig the changes, and some of the new features like tagging, post editor UI and side-panel is going to be a game-changer! Thank you all for working so hard on such an amazing-looking product!

Sticky Offset CSS No Longer Working
As of Alpha 12. Ehren shared the following code in order to allow any main-content elements to adjust their positions to the size of my sticky headers: :root{ --i-scroll-padding: calc(var(--i-headerPrimary--he) + 10px); --i-sticky-offset: calc(var(--i-headerPrimary--he) + 10px); }But this seems to no longer work in the latest version. Has the CSS logic changed? In inspector, I can see some new variables: The first two seem new, not sure what the difference between those are, and the third doesnāt seem to be listening to my override CSS code at the top there. Any ideas?

Advertisment Block
Iām curious, what are the use cases for having an advertisement only appear when block manager is open?

Page Editor: Block Options Bar & Dialog Boxes All Over The Place
Dialog boxes that float when using Page Editor stretch off to the side of the browser window, and clicking a block will show its options menu taking up the entire height of the browser. Chrome Version 127.0.6533.100 (Official Build) (arm64) on macOS 14.5

Tags Missing From Content For Guest Users
Not sure whatās going on here, maybe itās part of the ongoing (and still happening, sadly) issue where tags are not appearing in content items (despite being added and visible in listing pages)ā¦ but Iāve noticed that nothing appears in the Tag area of a Page record when viewing as a guest. Guest User: Logged in User: Note the Tag section underneath the headline/featured badge. Appears for logged in users (but only prefix tag, it seems) but nothing at all for Guest. If the concept for IC5 is to use tagging as as the backbone for content discovery, itās important for Guests to be able to view and access tags the same way as logged-in users.

Embedded Local Content Design Issues
Not sure if this is a bug or not but thought I'd flag it. I embedded a local content link elsewhere on this site, and the embed looks kinda strange. Thereās a quote box within the embed wrapper that basically duplicates the same content as the embed box itself. There isnāt any need for the quote box (or its contents) to be there, really.

Post Editor: Text Marker in Wrong Position After Inserting Image
I swear I have logged this somewhere before (maybe on the Alpha Club on the main IPS site) so apologies for bringing it up in a new topic rather than bumping an existing oneā¦ But this is still an issue in the current alpha version. See below;

Mobile Menu Tweaks
Upon opening the mobile drawer, all submenus are collapsed (see image below). Can we get an option for a submenu item to be open by default without requiring the user to click it open (on a per-menu item basisā¦ it might not be appropriate to have every single submenu expanded by default) Can we have icons visible in submenus in the mobile menu? Itās not very easy for users to scan this menu (see image below) without allowing the display of the awesome font iconsā¦

No Default Cover Photo for Pages Records
If a Page record has not been given an associated image when created, the āCover Photoā options still appear but is not clickable. There is no default cover photo area displayed like in other areas of the suite (tag pages, profiles, etc).

Copy to Database Creating Separate New Topic, Not Integrating With Existing Topic [A9]
It seems that posting a topic and then copying to database will create a duplicate topic in the forum, rather than integrate the page record into the existing topic. The top forum topic item there is the original, which I copied to make the article (which created the bottom forum item in the image above there). My AdminCP options are exactly the same as in V4, so there shouldnāt be anything weird going on from that side of things: I actually just tried to replicate the steps in order to full screenshot every step, but when I copy-to-databaseād a brand new original topic and hit āSaveā on the post editor, I received this error message instead: Not sure whatās going on there, but the duplication of topics is definitely not expected behaviour.

Cover Images Extending Out of Bounds [Alpha 9]
Seems to happen on profile hovercards and on Tag pages which donāt have a cover image set. ^ This one extends a fair distance outside of the boundaries of the covercard. ^ This one goes a little crazy and goes waaaaay off the page! :) EDIT: Just saw it on profile page too, when checking reputation (it doesnāt go OOB when checking the profile page in general): And again on a Tag page, this time with an uploaded cover image, on a mobile view (note: this screenshot was made on a desktop browser with the browser window narrowed to mobile width, not on an actual mobile device, if that helps):
