I'm curious, for anyone who bought the physical copy of THINFS - is there a 'members' section in the album artwork? How does it describe involvement of Hugh and Phil? Is there a distinction between them and John Shanks credits as a musician (who's supposedly not a member still)?

There's isn't a "members" section; the last page of the booklet insert just lists the album credits.
Produced by John Shanks and Jon Bon Jovi
Jon Bon Jovi: lead vocals
David Bryan: keyboards, background vocals
Tico Torres: drums
Hugh McDonald: bass
Phil X: guitar, background vocals
John Shanks: electric guitar, acoustic guitar, programming, background vocals
There are obviously a lot more credits than that, but those are the ones relating to what you're asking about.
Inside the back part of the plastic CD case that actually holds the CD there's a "Thank You" page. Tico, David, Phil, Hugh, and Jon (in that order) each have their own section listing the people they thank. Jon wrote "Tico, Lema and Hugh" pretty early in his list, with Phil X listed about 30 people later after his nieces and nephews. At the very end he wrote "And especially my THANKS to Mike Rew, Katie Agresta and John Shanks"
