A lot of communities are more active than they look. Members visit. They browse. They read. They come back. But unless someone is posting right now, that presence is invisible. Active Members makes that activity visible - quietly and visually. It adds a simple Active Members widget that shows real members who’ve been around recently, helping your forum feel alive without turning it into a status board. Presence That Matches the Page Active Members adapts to where it’s shown. On a topic, it shows members who’ve been active in that discussion On a forum, it shows members who’ve been active in that forum On pages that don’t track individual activity, it gracefully falls back to a global community view Every placement feels relevant, not recycled. This makes the widget feel contextual and intentional - not like the same block repeated everywhere. Clean, Adaptive Layout The avatar display automatically adjusts to available space: Shows as many avatars as fit Neatly collapses extras into a “+X” indicator Looks good on desktop, tablet, and mobile You don’t need to design around it. It adapts on its own. Presence Controls who counts as “active”. Presence time window Numeric value (e.g. 24) Time unit Minutes, hours, days, weeks, or year Together, these define which members are considered active and eligible to appear in the widget. Example: “Members who visited in the past 24 hours” or “past year”. Display Controls how the widget looks and behaves.

Every community remembers this moment. A new member signs up. They post for the first time. And then… nothing happens. No replies. No acknowledgement. No reason to come back. First Post Spotlight fixes that. It gently highlights new members’ first-ever topics so they don’t go unnoticed - encouraging regular members to jump in, reply, and make newcomers feel welcome from day one. Simple idea. Big impact.
Introducing: First Post Spotlight First Post Spotlight helps your community give new members a better first experience by drawing attention to their very first topics. When a new member posts for the first time, their topic is clearly marked in forum listings - making it easy for others to spot and respond.

First Posts That Don’t Get Lost New topics can easily get buried - especially in busy forums. First Post Spotlight makes sure first-time posts stand out by adding a subtle First Post indicator on the topic title. You stay in control: Show the indicator only for recent topics Enable or disable it per forum Choose how it looks - badge only or a gentle background highlight And importantly: New members don’t see the indicator on their own topics (so it never feels awkward or self-focused)
New Member Topics Widget First Post Spotlight also includes an optional widget that highlights topics created by new members. The widget: Shows only first-ever topics Respects forum permissions Automatically hides topics that no longer qualify Stays out of the way when there’s nothing to show It’s a simple way to encourage replies where they matter most.
Why Your Community Should Use First Topic Spotlight New members get replies faster Fewer first posts go unanswered Communities feel more welcoming Better chances new members stick around You don’t need more rules or reminders - just better visibility at the right moment.

Every community has the same quiet problem. Good topics don’t get replies. Members come back after a break… and don’t know where to start.

Editor Styles allows you to create custom formatting buttons for the editor that apply your own CSS-based styles to content. Each style adds a toolbar button that wraps selected text in an HTML element (such as a <span> or <div>) using a CSS class you define. This makes it easy for users to apply consistent typography, highlights, captions, or branded formatting without touching HTML. All styling is controlled by your theme. You simply define the CSS classes in your theme’s custom CSS, and Editor Styles handles the editor integration. The result is a flexible, theme-aware styling system that brings back the simplicity of editor assistants while remaining fully compatible with Invision Community 5. You can add as many as you like, and as crazy as you want to go.

Credits & Shop adds a full credit economy to your Invision Community, allowing members to earn credits naturally through participation and spend them on perks, rewards, and upgrades - all while staying fully under your control. No pressure. No forced engagement. Just a system that rewards people for being part of your community.
Earning credits feels natural Members earn credits simply by doing what they already do: Creating topics and replies Receiving reactions Having solutions accepted Daily visits and login bonuses Unlocking achievements and milestones Uploading images, files, blogs, or events Referrals and general participation You control everything: How much each action earns Per-forum or per-area values Daily caps and cooldowns Group-based rules and exclusions
Credits are earned because members are active - not because they’re chasing points. A real, transparent credit system Members can: View a full transaction history Transfer credits to other members Donate credits Store items for later use Apply temporary earning boosts Optionally purchase credits Optionally withdraw credits to account credit Admins can: Adjust balances Reverse transactions Set limits, fees, and permissions See exactly where credits come from and where they go Every change is logged. Nothing happens silently. The Members Shop Credits can be spent in a built-in Members Shop Example shop items: Username or profile changes Badges and cosmetic perks Password protected forum unlocks Temporary or permanent group upgrades Mystery boxes and random rewards Credit boosts Games and chance-based items Unlocks and special abilities Custom items Digital downloads allows you to sell downloads for credits. Members can: Buy and use items instantly Store items in their inventory Gift items to other members Admins stay in full control: Pricing per group Stock limits Cooldowns Permissions Manual or automatic rewards Use as much or as little of the shop as you like. Games, bonuses & optional extras When it fits your community, you can enable fun extras like: Lottery system Spin the wheel Scratch cards Rock / Paper / Scissors Number guessing games Daily, weekly, or monthly bonus credits These are entirely optional. Turn them on for engagement - or leave them off for a more serious setup. Optional: Sell credits directly to members If you want, you can also sell credits directly to your members. Create credit packages Set prices and amounts Let members buy credits instantly Automatically deliver credits after successful payment This works perfectly alongside earned credits, giving members two paths: earn credits through activity or buy credits when they want something now You decide if selling credits makes sense for your community - it’s completely optional. Optional: Convert credits into real account credit For communities using Commerce, Credits & Shop can turn engagement into something tangible. Members can optionally convert their earned credits into Commerce account credit, which they can then use to: Purchase products from your IPS store Pay for subscriptions or upgrades Or, if you choose, request an actual payout This creates a strong incentive to stay active - without turning your community into a grind. How withdrawals work You stay fully in control. Members request a withdrawal You can approve or decline each request Set a conversion rate (credits → account credit) Apply a withdrawal fee (or none at all) Define minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts Restrict withdrawals by user group Nothing is automatic unless you want it to be. Why this matters for engagement This feature bridges the gap between: activity → rewards → real value Members aren’t just earning points “for fun”. They’re earning something that can be used across your Commerce ecosystem - or even withdrawn. That means: More participation More motivation More reasons to stick around And because it’s optional and controlled, it works just as well for: hobby communities creator communities support forums marketplaces

Earning credits feels natural Members earn credits simply by doing what they already do: Creating topics and replies Receiving reactions Having solutions accepted Daily visits and login bonuses Unlocking achievements and milestones Uploading images, files, blogs, or events Referrals and general participation You control everything: How much each action earns Per-forum or per-area values Daily caps and cooldowns Group-based rules and exclusions
Credits are earned because members are active - not because they’re chasing points. A real, transparent credit system Members can: View a full transaction history Transfer credits to other members Donate credits Store items for later use Apply temporary earning boosts Optionally purchase credits Optionally withdraw credits to account credit Admins can: Adjust balances Reverse transactions Set limits, fees, and permissions See exactly where credits come from and where they go Every change is logged. Nothing happens silently. The Members Shop Credits can be spent in a built-in Members Shop Example shop items: Username or profile changes Badges and cosmetic perks Password protected forum unlocks Temporary or permanent group upgrades Mystery boxes and random rewards Credit boosts Games and chance-based items Unlocks and special abilities Custom items Digital downloads allows you to sell downloads for credits. Members can: Buy and use items instantly Store items in their inventory Gift items to other members Admins stay in full control: Pricing per group Stock limits Cooldowns Permissions Manual or automatic rewards Use as much or as little of the shop as you like. Games, bonuses & optional extras When it fits your community, you can enable fun extras like: Lottery system Spin the wheel Scratch cards Rock / Paper / Scissors Number guessing games Daily, weekly, or monthly bonus credits These are entirely optional. Turn them on for engagement - or leave them off for a more serious setup. Optional: Sell credits directly to members If you want, you can also sell credits directly to your members. Create credit packages Set prices and amounts Let members buy credits instantly Automatically deliver credits after successful payment This works perfectly alongside earned credits, giving members two paths: earn credits through activity or buy credits when they want something now You decide if selling credits makes sense for your community - it’s completely optional. Optional: Convert credits into real account credit For communities using Commerce, Credits & Shop can turn engagement into something tangible. Members can optionally convert their earned credits into Commerce account credit, which they can then use to: Purchase products from your IPS store Pay for subscriptions or upgrades Or, if you choose, request an actual payout This creates a strong incentive to stay active - without turning your community into a grind. How withdrawals work You stay fully in control. Members request a withdrawal You can approve or decline each request Set a conversion rate (credits → account credit) Apply a withdrawal fee (or none at all) Define minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts Restrict withdrawals by user group Nothing is automatic unless you want it to be. Why this matters for engagement This feature bridges the gap between: activity → rewards → real value Members aren’t just earning points “for fun”. They’re earning something that can be used across your Commerce ecosystem - or even withdrawn. That means: More participation More motivation More reasons to stick around And because it’s optional and controlled, it works just as well for: hobby communities creator communities support forums marketplaces

I want to verify exactly what it covers. Could you clarify if it handles the following scenarios? Database Corruption from Updates: Will this actually repair a database table or index that became corrupted during a previous software update, plugin update or Application update? Leftover Plugin/App Data: Will this clean up leftover tables, rows, or orphaned settings left behind by previous system updates, uninstalled applications or plugins? Block Editor Sidebar Glitches: Will this resolve a corrupted sidebar layout or "side block" issue that occurred after adding or removing elements in the block editor? Thanks for clarifying.
This is very cool, as I don't know of any other means of seeing how many people use what. So, I can't guage which themes are popular, but this is a brilliant idea that executes it well.
If you are running an IPS community, this Keywords tool is an absolute must-have. We run a highly technical site, and this app has been a lifesaver for our members. We use it to define complex industry terms and acronyms site-wide, and the rich pop-up tooltips make the user experience flawless. What really blows me away is the rebuild. It doesn't feel like a clunky third-party add-on; it feels like a native part of the IPS framework. It has its own search integration, reactions, comments, and follow system. As an admin, the moderation controls are fantastic. Being able to set up approval workflows for new keywords and comments means we can keep our technical definitions accurate without babysitting the system. If you want to enrich your forum's content and keep your users engaged, look no further. Five stars!
I have missed this so much, and finding out that it has been recreated and improved was a great discovery. Cedric is very active and works to improve this even further. 5 out of 5 is the max I can give in this review, but it is more like 6 out of 5 or even 7 out of five!
Very nice back end options, nicely restrained icon which is also well placed to hide forums or topics. Overall I would have given it five out of five stars except for one small issue ... it seems recognize categories as forums. Clicking on ignore does not ignore category or the sub forums associated with that category. Actually I would expect/prefer categories not be able to be ignored. The hide icon/text should not show since nothing can be actually posted in them ... the opposite would be that all sub forms would also be hidden. But if that was the intent it's not working. One new optional feature that could be added is a way to identify specific forums that cannot be hidden by members.
Great for reducing server workload and optimising services for live functions. Make sure to take the opportunity to claim this free, by purchasing NowReplies, as OnlyME has kindly bundled it in for a short period of time. Saving $10, but it's worth every penny! I am thankful for the kindness to receive this for free.
