austinreefclub Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 In beta 4 I was finally able to upgrade only to find I couldn't log in. It's good to hear it is working great for others. :) Hopefully everything will work for me in beta 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyo_merged Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I just downloaded Beta 4 just to try to upgrade my forum (used a forum dummy for that). But the folders "upgrade" and "resources" are missing in my download. HELP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheddy Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 As has been discussed before: "There will be no new features added to IPB 3." This has been announced since Beta 1 and 2 was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyo_merged Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Another problem here: Now (after I activated IonCube) my forum is not reachable and I can't do the upgrade. Here's the error message: [Fri Mar 20 21:48:02 2009] [error] [client xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function fetchMemberData() on a non-object in /var/xxx/xxx/xxx/admin/sources/classes/class_localization.php on line 114 The problem is in that line: $this->memberData =& $registry->member()->fetchMemberData(); What can be wrong here ?

Rheddy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I have to disagree with Lee Craven on what IPS clients are paying for. If clients or customers weren't paying for the IPB software with their payment or their renewal fee of $25 every six months then the full version of IPB would be free for everyone, customers and non-customers alike. So, your statement that the fees that we pay to IPS are for support is incorrect. If that were true, then a lot of customers wouldn't be paying to renew their license. They could simply download the full version. The point is that the license fee is for the software. Customer Support comes along with that license fee, not the other way around, despite what everyone may say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not here to argue, I said it would be a nice future feature for IPB 3.x.x, were NOT talking about 2.x.x here it's a thread ABOUT IPB 3 nothing more, I swear more of you log on here to pick a fight rather than join in discussion, if you don't like my topic, don't talk in it, start your own.

I think you paying to renew your license is so you can receive full efficient support directly form the developers not just the users, and also so you can recieve 'new updates/security fixes' etc. My point before was I think it's good that IPS allows you to upgrade to NEW releases ie: from 2.x.x to 3.x.x WITHOUT paying for a brand new license, attack me if you will, I maybe incorrect but thats my thoughts, as I stated before, you DO NOT get every release from Adobe do you? When they go from CS 3 to CS 4 did you get the NEW version free? IPS doesn't do it that way, they are generous for giving it's current members the new releases for your 6 month subscription etc, nuff said.

Rheddy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 When you pay the $25 bi-annual fee is just to keep the license active. As I said, I think that IPS hasn't really clarified what the license really is. If they said that it's for support, then the download for the full version of IPS would be free. By setting it up so that you have to pay before you download means that you're not actually paying for the support. The support for IPS services is part of the overall license fee. I'm not attacking you, Lee. The other might be, but, I'm just trying to clarify that if any fees associated with IPB software isn't for support, mainly. I think that's how everyone sees it and how it was explained by IPS Staff. I think the best way to describe it is that the fees customer pays IPS are for 1) software downloads and updates and 2) customer support. I think to say that it's just for customer support in an incorrect statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Craven Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 I know you're not I'm just being sarcastic, I don't normally get into things with other members, you're possibly right, but why renew your license just for license renewal? Even if it expires you're allowed to keep your forum hosted just no more updates or 'dev' support or upgrades etc' - I don't know I'm all confused now myself :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheddy Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Well, I've always continued to pay for the renewal just to keep the software version updated. The only time I ask for support is when a new upgrade or update is available so it's never bothered me. I just think that ever since this issue came up that it was important to be accurate about it. And, it's not about license renewal. I renew to keep my forum software updated ... I just think that it's important. I've spent a lot of money keeping my website software updated which is strange because I started off using 1.3. Then upgraded to version 2 but it was unliscensed. This was when I opted to pay for IPB and have been a customer since then. I just consider the $25 every six months part of the cost for my site and I also receive donations from my members for it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board for free? Sorry, but then there instantly would be a "free" support site. Never going to happen, and dumb. 25 bucks every 6 months is hardly anything. Xbox live is more than that, If you have one google ad anywhere on your site that alone will pay for the charges. Its grateful we don't have to pay between major releases unlike EVERY other software (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, hell the whole adobe family) Do you know how many illegal IPB board are out there? I know a very successful one with over 100k members and its illegal. How do I know this? I was a sub-admin there and I notied the differences from a nulled board and legal one. Point being, you pay for support and access to resources (such as mods, articles and tutorials) which illegal board users can't. Its there method instead of encrypting the software with ioncube or something.

Stallyon Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 After the "quality" of the 4th beta, I have decided to dump all my IPS software, and will not be using them after 4 years of support. I am tired of them adding new features now, and breaking things so that a board is inoperable (can't edit members, can't multi-moderate, can't change a few board settings) ... yet being told there's hardly any bugs. In my experience with software development, betas are generally feature locked, and virtually bug free, but here they are at the 4th beta still adding features. I've run out of patience trying to develop skins with things not working. I have re-downloaded and re-installed the betas probably well over 10 times each, tried 3 different dedicated servers, and still these bugs are there, but can't be replicated by staff. So, for now, this is au revoir from me. P.S. The "Edit" button STILL doesn't work in FireFox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallyon, I wish you luck my friend, I have no negative remarks for your comments, it's your choice at the end of the day. I personally have not gone mad in testing my board although I get no errors on there 'using the board as a member' on my server. The beta is being used here live on the IPS forums, I'm sure the problems that need ironing out are the ones that are affected by the different 'hosts' - I'm with godaddy.com and pay $6 a month for multiple websites, and honestly I have not one issue so far with my board, as I said it could be due to the fact I didn't go through the admin CP in fine detail, but anyhow, I can't change your mind, I wish you luck. Just a quick note, I added this using the 'edit button' it works on here fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
