Midnightmadness Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 I registered for IPS beyond back in Nov when it was in Beta ....but I went to log in yesterday and it dosnt like my password and I think Ive changed e-mails since I registered ( there) and have no way of getting a new password sent to me >_< Any help would be greatly appreciated :D
Antony Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 I think IPS Beyond will be a much better resource when we start seeing the IPS scripts and tools they've hinted about.

me11ow Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 I'm interested in why you believe that gallery has gone downhill, however I can't seem to find any of your posts in the Gallery suggestions thread or in my development blog. If you have anything you'd like to see make it into the next version of gallery, let me know by posting suggestions or comments to the entries on my development blog.THIS is one of the types of questions I have posed that never got answered. Like I was saying, the customer2customer forum for gallery is all I am asking to be kept open so I can keep an eye on how everyone else is handling the new version and when will be the perfect time for me to go ahead with the new version. Let me ask this, if I pay for a subscription, what addons for gallery will be released that will work with 1.3.1? Trying to find a reason to renew my license for other than having the privilage to keep an eye on how others are liking the new releases.
Björn Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Why I couldn't use the link in the UserCP? I registred a name but I can't log in.
bfarber Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Login issues or password issues, etc., you are better off emailing me (since I'll need your username and will need to look into the issue most likely). @me11ow...the Suggestions forum is still open, but customer to customer assistance (even for Gallery) has been moved to IPS Beyond. Each person will have to make the decision as to whether they wish to renew their license to have access to Beyond. I mean, it's hard for one person here to tell you why you should do it. If you don't feel the investment is worth it, by all means you are not obligated to do so. If you do think you will get enough out of IPS Beyond, then you are welcome to renew your license and get access to the site. :)
Digi Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I, for one, welcome IPS Beyond. This makes me VERY happy that I purchased a life-time license back in the day. Talk about getting your money's worth! Digi

scotty_b Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 So now people using other forum software and considering a switch to IPB can't read up on current customers problems and issues? Guess that means a lot of people who might have considered switching IPB will use vB instead since vB don't hide everything so people can asses wether is it suitable to their needs.

Wondered just the same.
Management Charles Posted February 13, 2006 Management Posted February 13, 2006 Actually we implemented this change based on customer feedback. Now that IPS Beyond has been open for a while it has been very well received. Customers love all the resources the site offers and we have received great feedback on what we have now and some ideas for the future. Anyone serious about forum software will not take into account a few posts and those that have never been here before won't even know that we used to have a different setup. The vast majority of customers phone or email us before ordering anyway. Comparisons to vBulletin are really not valid as they are no longer really direct competition. Granted, they used to be, but as we have moved forward customers don't really compare us to vB anymore but more toward the higher end market solutions. I am sure vB is still a good solution for certain situations but they really go after a more casual user than we do. As vB's parent company is considerably smaller than IPS, I would say that vB is doing a good job at the market they are able to reach. Back when we were a similar size as vB's parent company I certainly remember how hard it was to get larger corporate clients.

We bit the bullet a couple of weeks ago, and yes went kicking and screaming from 1.3.1 as we now need to rewrite some hacks we developed internally. Guess we'll publish them at beyond in due course. The simple answer is beyond adds to your overall invision expierance it takes nothing away from the current situation. If you are a customer then you are getting additional stuff.... Now there was something about a gift horse and a mouth but it escapes me at the moment :thumbsup:
scotty_b Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Comparisons to vBulletin are really not valid as they are no longer really direct competition. I am not here to cause trouble, I am neither a vB user nor an IPB user, but if I were to be either, I'd go with vB. Jelsoft are established, Invision are a newcomer, despite what you may say and frankly, it is not relevant to the vast majority of your potential customers. I couldn't care less, nor probably could many people running 1.5+ post boards on some other software. Those small forums though, I have no doubt would fine a better home with vB given your "look how big" we are attitude. Despite the fact big-boards.com shows lots of large vB boards and over @ vB.org potential users can see the problems current users have.*sigh* [b]beyond[/b] is the official resource site, i.e additional content for your forum software via mods/skins etc etc. This does not mean you cannot see what issues etc are current on the company forums.

RawkBob Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Newcomer? O_o IPS are well established now, i wouldn't call them a newcomer.
jethro Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I am not here to cause trouble, I am neither a vB user nor an IPB user, but if I were to be either, I'd go with vB. Did you bother to read my post? Clearly not. /me expects this to be deleted. Actually l did, have you read what you wrote perhaps. Remembering what you think you are saying isn't necessarily what you are communicating. Clearly you do not understand this concept ! Or is English your second language, my apologises if so.
lupin84 Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 First I'd just like to say IPSBeyond kicks! It's what I've been wanting on here for a long time. Help with skins, mods etc - perfect. There seems to be a really friendly, helpful bunch of people up there too. Thanks Invision. :D As for the comments on leaving the gallery forum open - I'd tend to agree. I've expressed my disappointment in the gallery many times before so I probably don't need to again. I also know I'm not alone when I say I'm very unhappy with it. So will we still be able add suggestions in the gallery forum here? Oh wait I think it is being left open for suggestions... sorry my misunderstanding.
Management Charles Posted February 15, 2006 Management Posted February 15, 2006 Oh, I am sorry. Please do not misunderstand me, I am not trying to put down vB or its parent company. They are certainly a good provider of message board software. I was simply trying to convey that when our corporate customers call us they used to compare us to vB several years but now when they call us most have either never heard of vB or quickly dismiss it. As I said, vB is a perfectly adequate forum software. I believe the big point that IPS has in its favor is the fact that we have a real office where our employees all work together. Perhaps even more than that is the fact that we actually focus on providing a complete service rather than just a PHP software product to download. We are really of the mindset that the software itself is only one part of the whole package.
ZainZ Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 No offense but the customer doesn't care whether you maintain 1 office or 2 or n number of offices... its just the service u provide them.. be it via 1 room and by 1 person... :)
lupin84 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Mod and skin authors will soon receive "points" based on their participation which can be redeemed for IPS products, services, and more I'd like to know more about that ^ :) Sounds good to me.
Smoothie Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Now that I look back, the Lifetime license was a heck of a bargain.
ZainZ Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Smoothie you need to fix your signature link :)
Natterbox Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Why can't I create login details in the Client area?? :unsure:
