Moderators:
Moderators with the proper permissions can also create announcements and alerts directly from the menu, streamlining site management and community engagement.
3rd-party developers:
Developers can use IPS5 extensions to add their own applications to the menu, making it fully customizable and future-ready.

This tiny application simply turns the Security Question field into a password field, so whatever you type isn’t visible on screen.
Why this matters:
Even if “no one is supposed to see it,” it’s the same idea as hiding a password. For example, I record videos all the time, and the security answer would show up in the recording. Because of that, I used to disable Security Questions for my group altogether.

This application allows you to mark a conversation as unread so you can come back to it later, when the time is right. It will appear as unread in your messages list, making it easy to find.

This application adds a Share This Post link to posts that are not visible to guests, to easily and quickly copy the post URL. Because IPS does not provide this option, users must manually copy the post URL from the post date, meaning registered users lose the ability to easily share posts when guest access is restricted.
