Dave Legg Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Would that also involve a discount if I was to only purchase gallery and ip content?

Does it has a good Modifications Source? You can browse the community-released addons here: http://community.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=downloads [quote name='CrankyFC' date='27 October 2009 - 10:00 PM' timestamp='1256695225' post='1872498'] I'm moving away from vB and coming here.. It'll be great to be here again since I left for vB years ago. Only question.. What if I want IP.Content and IP.Blogs - any discounts? I don't really need them but it'd be nice to have them, but otherwise too expensive. Just wondering, either way: I'm coming back.

We have a promotion running presently that provides for the greatest discount you can possibly get. When this promotion ends and we switch to the new system on November 2nd, you will indeed be able to mix-n-match any applications, and get a discount proportional to the number of packages purchased, however we should note that the discount will not be as good as the one presently offered for the suite bundle. Still, to answer your question, you will be able to mix n match any packages, not just specific ones (Gallery, Blog, Downloads, Content, Board, etc.)
Dave Legg Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Will these discounts only count if you buy ip board at the same time, or will they also apply if you have ip board but just want to purchase a couple of add ons? On a side note, ive just renewed ip board licence, how long does it normally take to be verified before its available for download?

Probably not long as Billing will be active at this time of day. :)
Dave Legg Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Didnt take along at all. Just set up a test site and wanted to ask a quick question regarding conversion. I want to convert my vbulletin to my ipb to test only at present. Ive got to the stage where its asking for the vbulletin database details. Will it just copy the data or will it delete it? I want my vbulletin site to remain working and dont want to lose everything. Hope that makes sense!

CrankyFC Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Alright, just paid the 25 dollar renewal again. Put in a ticket to ask about why I can't download, as soon as I can download the IP.Board stuff I'm going to be switching from vBulletin. EDIT: Now I can download, now only to convert this weekend. Thanks IPS!
Collin1000 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 The community suite was removed, and pricing has changed on IP.Content, has it not? Can someone update the first post? :thumbsup:
Cryptovirus Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 If somehow the security and customizability of vbulletin (look at all the mods at vbulletin.org) could be combined with the management at IPS, the result would be the best forum software ever. I'm sort of working on IP.Board's security, but I will have to keep using vBulletin as I have customized and modified it too much.

rgf100 Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Apologies if I've missed something, but where can we get hold of these? I'm doing the conversion myself, and these would obviously be very useful. Are they part of the conversion process (only just started that on a test install).You needn't worry about broken links after you convert either, we have some redirection scripts that will take users from your old vBulletin URLs to the new URLs on IP.Board - so if members follow links from search engines, they'll still be shown the right content on your community.

Strange you are not a licence holder LOL Ok, sitting back and thinking about this, if we contract ANYONE to do a security audit - why would we require them to buy a license first? :blink: I can't imagine how that would make sense. If I was a security auditor and faced with that situation, surely I'd simply raise my price to compensate for the cost of the IPB license (or tell the company they're nuts and ignore them). Cryptovirus has been looking for and reporting issues he finds on his own without compensation. The fixes, once rolled into IPB, benefit all of our customers (especially since he seems to be focusing on security-related things). Personally, I'm happy for him to look through the code and report any problems he finds so we can continue to deliver a secure, stable software for all of our customers.

Sacha Vorbeck Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Hi, this is a nice summary. I have some questions (hope they haven`t been answered yet): [*]a converting service for Photopost galleries is mentioned. But the gallery here in the top navigation isn`t really structured. I have a lot of categories and at least a 3 level structure like "Recipes->soups->vegetarian soups". You can see my gallery here. Can this be done with the invision gallery? Can the display of the large image be done in a lightbox? [*]when you hover over a thread title in vBulletin, a content preview pops up. Here an icon appears right of the thread title and I have to click on that icon to get a preview. Can this be adjusted? [*]are tags/tagclouds available and do they work across areas like forum, blogs, gallery? thank you - all the best, Sacha [*]by writing this post I notice that there is no rich text editor available here. Can this be enabled?
