jhutch Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I've been waiting for quite a while for the final release, like everyone here as. My forum members have been expecting an upgrade for sometime now. My original plan was to just wait for the final version to release, but because it has already taken so long, an urgency has hit. I'm thinking I am going to go ahead and upgrade my live forum with the RC1 Is that just stupid on my end? Or will it be alright. I'm fine with having a couple errors. I just want to be sure that I will be able to upgrade the RC's up until the final is released, and also be assured that there won't be a large error that wouldn't allow for me to do that... Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhutch Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks for the sarcasm. And its a lot easier to say "the users can weight" than you think. I don't like the idea of my users not being able to trust me when I say our forum will be upgraded. I guess we could put up a new forum and get the skin ready there... It just seems to me though, that if the board is running fine here, that it would also be good enough to run for a week or two on my live board.

Management Charles Posted May 6, 2009 Management Share Posted May 6, 2009 We posted a blog entry about this recently. Basically, RC1 can be considered "safe" to use in that your forum won't implode or anything :) but there could still be some bugs. You could always wait a few days after we post RC1 to see if there are any reports of major bugs or problems and evaluate from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'm actually quite tempted to do the same. I am a little ansy but I have to have my skin rocking before I do it. My skin is actually the number one reason why people love my site. <_< I know weird right as it's not all that great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Once IPB3 RC1 comes out I will be upgrading my community over to it. I've already changed a lot of the skin to how I want it to look. A few things need changing but overall I have completed my skin design. One thing I have noticed however is that in IE (8) the rounded corners do not show up. I know they are PNG but I use some PNG images myself (background) and they show just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think that would be a problem with the way IE8 is reading the CSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they showing up fine in earlier IE versions? I personally use Firefox but I do check to see how things look in IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Everything is rounded for me in IE7 that I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 IE (any version) doesn't support rounded corners I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor T Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Don't worry guys it k. I sent an email to the M$ Explorer devs, I hope to get rounded corners for the 38% of users on my site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin A. Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Think I've read somewhere that MS will use Webkit in IE9, and Webkit supports rounded corners. EDIT: They're just "considering" it. http://www.labnol.org/internet/internet-explorer-to-shift-to-webkit/5269/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
