Make content creation faster, easier, and more intuitive for your members and staff! This app restores a feature from IPS4 that was removed in IPS5: the centralized +Create menu. It automatically adds menu entries for all official IPS applications (except Courses), allowing users to create content across your community quickly.
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.

Let your community easily see who moderates each forum. This app adds a simple line under every forum showing its moderators, including both groups and individual members. It also appears inside the forum view, keeping everything consistent and easy to find.
Clean, lightweight, and fully integrated with IPS5, and integrates seamlessly with your community’s design. It uses the core moderators cache, so it runs efficiently without adding extra database queries.

Bring your community closer by celebrating members’ birthdays with a dedicated, easy-to-use calendar.
This application displays birthdays in a clean and organized layout, making it simple to see who’s celebrating each day. Members can quickly jump to any month and year for faster navigation, and those who have not yet filled in their date of birth can add it directly from within the app.
Add a more personal touch to your community by highlighting what matters most — your members.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The app will only display birthdays if they are enabled and set to public in the Admin CP (Members → Profiles → Profile Settings → Birthdays → Enable birthdays → Show birthdays to all in user profiles).

Enhance your community by displaying secondary group icons in posts. Easily identify all member groups with a clean, integrated layout that respects IPS group search restrictions.

Adds a “Discard Reply” button to reply editors, allowing users to quickly discard the editor content, remove attachments, and return the editor to its minimized state. Perfect for avoiding accidental posts or clearing unfinished replies.
It will appear on all content pages in the reply editor.
Setting:
Can discard replies in (specific contents, like Messenger, Posts, Downloads file comments, etc).

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 will allow members (from specific groups) to rejoin users who left or were banned from conversations.
Setting:

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.
