ufoq Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I also would like to announce something: I HATE YOU Invision! ;) Why? Because you announced 2.1.1 two days after I installed 2.1 Because you announced 2.1.2 three hours after I installed 2.1.1 Because you announced Gallery out TEN MINUTES after i finished configuring it. I know you do it on purpose! What did I do??? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonyinsider Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I have the latest version of Invision Gallery and it is stable and works as intended. This is truly baffling as the gripes that have been mentioned incessantly are not feature-breaking in the sense that it would be unable to deliver functionality. Far too often people create a 'storm surrounding these whimsical problems that seem so bad when described, but when you actually have a Gallery with content it's really not that bad.

SjorsK Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 ... and this was one of the reasons I decided to not renew my IPG license (ten days ago it was due). Didn't see the point in placing money in with all these programs and seeing it gettings pulled less than a day later after errors were found. Decided to hold off on all modifications as well as I'm trying do it all with the forums and gallery (though forums are no longer a problem). Of course, downside of that was finding out the gallery license extension today after I let it expire less than two weeks ago. Oh well, can't win them all I guess. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abobader Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 When the customers will see the extended 3 months for thier gallery license? in my customer account still not update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see the extension posted to your account on Monday.

Hey, any company that has the balls to say they messed up and need to take some time to fix things earns some big points in my book. Kudos for doing the right thing here.

princetontiger Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think that's right. Many people see admitting a mistake as weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robirming Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 We are, however, committed to providing you with a quality release that you've come to expect from any product with the IPS name on it. I'm very happy to hear this! :) Once again I feel confident that I'm sticking with the right solution for running my community. I think the IP Blog could state an example as of how a truly good IPS component is done. No major bugs in final version, and a great integration with the board - taking advantage of features we recognize from IPB: "subscriptions", category/comment markers etc etc. That's what I like to see for all the original IPS Components, and that's what makes it worth paying for. I'm looking forward to the next release of the gallery. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few suggestions was all l had for future versions. Mind you we can now ask each and every day "when will the gallery be ready" :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitaly Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Please use this topic to discuss the following announcement:http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=195183 Really good news. I'm very glad, that Invision moved the quality of development process to the next level. By the way, it would be very kind of Invision to officialy publish development roadmap and expected timelines of intermediate maintenance releases. At lest for gallery, forum and blogs. That will help custumers to plan software upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem, don't worry - just add .thumb { height: 150px } to your css (assuming your thumbnails are 128x128) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafaelT Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Not a problem, don't worry - just add .thumb { height: 150px } to your css (assuming your thumbnails are 128x128) the whole point that has been brought up for the last year about that is the customer should not have to add it, it should be there by default. I wrote a tutorial months ago how to add that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
