Version Updates
Version 2.0.2
Added
- Per-member auto-topic template variables:
- {matched_members} for the full matched member list with front-end profile links
- {matched_members_plain} for a plain-text matched member list
- {matched_members_short} for compact title output such as name1, name2 (+3)
- {matched_member_count} for the total matched member count
- Added a normalized per-member detection-state snapshot to support reply deduplication.
- Added ACP member links in M.A.C. report tables so usernames now open the related ACP member page.
IMPROVED
- Per-member forum report defaults now include the matched member list directly in report content.
- Per-member topic titles now use a more moderator-friendly compact matched-member summary by default.
- Per-member template help text and editor tag menus now document the richer matched-member variables.
FIXED
- Fixed per-member auto-topic detection so fingerprint-only matches are no longer missed when the fingerprint is first stored by the deferred AJAX save.
- Fixed duplicate per-member forum replies being generated when the detected match state has not changed.
- Fixed M.A.C. ACP report tables so member names are no longer rendered as plain text where ACP member links are available.
Version 2.0.1
Added
Added mac_registration_enabled to let admins disable device-cookie tracking and device-based registration checks.
Added mac_ipaddress_enabled to let admins disable IP logging and IP-based registration checks.
Both settings default to enabled during upgrade so existing communities keep current behavior until changed in ACP.
Improved
What was added
- Retention settings for cookie IDs, IP addresses, and fingerprints.
- A reusable cleanup manager used by both the scheduled MACCleanup task and ACP sidebar actions.
- Task Settings, Prune Now, and Delete Now sidebar buttons on the device, IP, and fingerprint log controllers.
- first_seen and last_seen tracking on multipleaccountscheck_devices so cookie/IP retention is based on actual activity timestamps.
Cleanup behavior
- Prune Now deletes only rows in the current view that are older than that view's configured retention period.
- Delete Now deletes all rows in the current view immediately.
- Shared views operate on identifiers used by more than one distinct member.
- Single views operate on identifiers used by exactly one distinct member.
Legacy data
- Existing device/IP rows created before last_seen existed will have 0 until that member/device combination is seen again.
- Cleanup treats those legacy rows as stale so they can be cleared by prune actions or the scheduled task.

IPS5.0.0+
Managing permissions across multiple member groups in IPS can quickly become confusing. Even small differences between groups may go unnoticed, and tracking them down manually is tedious.
Group Compare makes this easy.
This tool allows administrators to select any two member groups and instantly see their differences side by side. Each permission and setting is stored in the core_groups table is displayed clearly, making it simple to identify where groups differ and how they are configured.
Instead of jumping between multiple ACP pages trying to remember which group has which setting, you can compare everything in a single view.
Key features include:
Side-by-side comparison of any two member groups
Option to display only the differences for faster review
Clear visual indicators for enabled/disabled permissions
Quick actions to copy a value from one group to the other
Whether you are auditing permissions, troubleshooting group behavior, or trying to keep several groups aligned, Group Compare provides a much clearer overview of how your groups are configured.
A simple tool that saves administrators a surprising amount of time.

IPS5.0.0+
As with the original plugin, you can not only add as many links as you want to your footer in no time at all, but you can now also choose whether they should be displayed before or after the standard links. Optionally, the extra links can be disabled in the mobile view to save space.
The really big innovation in this application is that you can now add social profiles too. You can choose which icon to use for this, as well as the background color when you hover over it.
So you could say you get two add-ons for the price of one, if it weren't free anyway

Why this app exists

Each program has its own description, images, rules page, and schedule, so everything is clear and easy to follow.
Featured programs can be highlighted on the awards homepage to draw attention.
Automatic monthly cycles
Every award runs on a repeating monthly cycle with clear phases:
pending
submission
voting
completed
Phases move automatically based on dates, so you are not babysitting the system every month. You can still step in manually if needed.
Each cycle can have its own theme, prizes, and statistics, making every month feel fresh instead of copy-paste.
Simple submissions for members
Members can submit entries in ways that make sense for each award:
nominate another member
submit their own website or project
link to forum posts, gallery images, or other content
Entries support images and rich descriptions, so submissions feel polished instead of rushed.
Members can manage their own entries, and nominated users are notified so nothing goes unnoticed.
Voting that feels fair and fun

vote for one entry or multiple entries
optional anonymous voting
real-time vote counts
notifications when entries receive votes
This makes feature contests, content awards, and popularity-based recognition feel transparent and engaging.

Winners can be selected automatically by vote count or manually if needed.
You can award:
first, second, and third place
multiple winners
tied positions
Every win is saved permanently. Past winners are never lost, making it easy to build a real history instead of resetting every month.
Rewards that actually matter
Winning an award should feel good.
Winners can receive:
badges
reputation points
group promotions
store credits
custom or digital prizes
Rewards are handed out automatically when winners are chosen, so there is no follow-up work or forgotten promises.

multiple prize types
limited inventory tracking
position-based prizes
random weighted selection
This is perfect for sponsor giveaways, digital keys, or seasonal competitions.
Announcements and notifications

new cycle started
submissions open
voting open
reminders before deadlines
winner announcements
prizes won
Announcements can also be posted automatically to your forums, keeping activity visible and driving traffic.
Leaderboards and recognition
Recognition does not stop at one win.
The app includes:
yearly leaderboards
per-program rankings
total wins and votes received
historical browsing of past years
This turns awards into long-term motivation instead of one-off events.
Profile integration
Members get a dedicated awards area on their profile showing:
awards won
prizes received
win and vote statistics
earned badges
It becomes a visible status symbol, not just a forgotten badge.
Widgets for visibility

Trackable for Invision Community 5
Bugs, features, tasks, and reminders. All tracked in one place.
Running a community or project usually means juggling bug reports, feature ideas, staff tasks, and personal notes across forum posts, messages, and spreadsheets. Trackable replaces all of that with one structured system built directly into Invision Community.
Trackable lets you create clear, organized items with states, priorities, ownership, history, and optional discussion, so nothing gets lost and everyone knows what is happening.
Why Trackable is Useful
As a bug tracker:
Members can submit bug reports with priority, detailed descriptions, and optional discussion. Staff can assign bugs, move them through states like Open, In Progress, and Fixed, and keep a full history of changes. No more guessing what was fixed or forgotten.
For feature requests
Feature ideas stay organized instead of buried in forum threads. Members can vote on requests, staff can respond, and progress is visible from suggestion to completion. This makes it easy to see what the community actually wants.
For tasks and internal work
Track staff tasks, moderation follow-ups, content plans, or admin reminders. Assign items, set due dates, and see workloads at a glance. It works just as well for private staff use as it does for public tracking.
Features
Flexible item types like Bug Reports, Feature Requests, Tasks, or Reminders
Priority levels with clear visual indicators
Assign items to members with proper permissions
Per-type workflows with custom states
Public, shared, or private visibility options
Voting for feature requests and ideas
Watch items and get notified when things change
In-app comments or linked forum discussions
Full activity timeline showing every change
Clean browse pages, filters, and personal dashboards
Powerful admin tools for managing everything from one place
If you run a community that needs structure without complexity, Trackable gives you clarity, accountability, and visibility without forcing you to rely on external tools or messy forum threads.
