IPB3 Feedback: Positive

Featured Replies

Posted

Before upgrading to IPB3, there were some members in my community who would have problems with 2.3 such as logging in or other access problems. While I was unsure of how my community would take to IPB3, I have to say that the majority of members on my site have been pleased with the new version. Most of the problems that were associated with IPB 2.3 had been fixed with IPB3 and everyone seems happy with the new version including the new features. While some bugs have been corrected, I've been told, with 3.0.1, it's been the general consensus that my members like the new IPB.

The only issue I've heard so far is that some of my members would like to see a feature which would allow them to turn the smilies or emoticons "on or off" so that they don't have to view them. While there are some areas that IPB3 could stand improvement in, I can honestly report that the new software receives positive marks from my 700+ members.

You can turn off viewing smiles in posts under 'your options' 'forums' 'view posting email prefs'. smile.gif

Glad to hear it :)

You guys are welcome. I thought I'd pass the congrats along from the members of my community. They really like it and say that it's a big improvement over the previous version.

It's always nice to hear positve feedback as most people only post when they are unhappy with something. Thankfully a lot do post positive feedback at IPS biggrin.gif

Just so you guys know, the posters on my board seem to really like the new software, too. My co-admin also loves the new Admin CP!

Out of the feedback I've received, about 95% of it has been positive. Everyone seems to love the new skin.

Great job IPS. :)

I showed my members and staff clips of the IPB3 test board I have up and they all seem to like it but want to wait for 3.0.1 for the odd bugs in 3.0.0 to be fixed before I perform the update to the boards and blogs system. :)

If you guys could put together a skin converter application, I'd call 3.0 a uncompromised success.

If that were possible we would :)

Where is this version 3.0.1 ??? I need bug fixes too.

The concepts behind 3.0 are great...the execution leaves something to be desired...but this is a complete rewrite so I realize we have to work out the bugs.

You have to have an active license to download v 3.x and 3.0.1 isn't yet released, just 3.0.0 so far.

Guys, I just saw the changes to the post-reporting functionality. Wow, that is a vast improvement. Nicely done!

It would be nice to have a Page Top button on the skin as you have to scroll all the way back which can be annoying in threads with lots of replies.

Or you can use the sidebar in your browser? :thumbsup:

You can do that with an easy skin modification that you will find on the resources site :D

Or you could hit home on your keyboard. :P

You could Brandon but if you have your hand on your mouse then you have to move your hand of it, too much like hard work wink.giflaugh.png

Hold the scroll wheel and drag up about 6 inches. Release.
