.time Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yeah, if you know how to skin IPB, but some folks don't know how to code or skin IPB, so you shouldn't make such a sweeping generalization. You might want to try and see things from another perspective as what applies to you doesn't always apply to everyone else. The topic asked what people thought about 3.2, and members gave their honest opinions, yet you complain that the complaints are "insane"? What kind of replies did you expect from a topic of this sort? Something like "I don't like the merge of photos and avatars" is a completely valid complaint. "I won't be upgrading ever again because everything is too squire looking and the offline image has moved" is not. These are simple skin edits which aren't hard to figure out on your own if you know HTML and CSS. Even if you don't, someone on the forum or in ticket support will more than certainly be glad to help you with it. I wanted to know how to trigger a modal box, and I got an answer a couple hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need to re-read the subject of this thread, it's not a thread about 3.2 complaints, the topic is "What do you think of 3.2?", and what people did was give their honest opinions of what they thought of 3.2. So what is your issue with people giving their honest opinions about what they thought about 3.2? Sounds like you are just looking to disagree with other members. I am not sure why some members feel the need to behave in such a manner. I certainly didn't post in this thread to argue with members such as yourself about what I thought about 3.2. Whether something is easy or not is relative to the individual, so a simple skin edit for you may be something very difficult for someone who has little to no experience with modifying skins. This is why it's good to try and look at things from the perspective of someone who may not the same experience as yourself. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Modding Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 If it's true what one said in here that the images on board index don't fade when a forum has no new posts then that's very annoying and a necessary feature. I agree that sueful features have been taken out. In PM conversations you can't even go to a direct page. heck you can't even go TO FIRST UNREAD in the conversation!!! then removal of status images is also an unnecessary hit.

Why don't you give it a shot before assuming it's true? It's not at all difficult to confirm whether it's true or not. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Modding Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I knew someone would say that...... As an fyi the reason i didn't try it is I didn't want to mark a forum read when I truly hadn't read everything in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Joe Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I actually like the 3.1 ACP better. The outward appearance of 3.2 is an improvement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ Adam ♠ Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I feel "cock-blocked" (can not think of a better term) I want to like Invision, but they make it impossible with PayPal being the only option with IPS Marketplace. Good thing I asked though... With Nexus, I just assumed they had other options here (would make sense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter F. Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 If you are running it on your own site then Nexus can and does have other gateway options. they chose to only have paypal here because that is what most mod developers use to accept payments with.

Not everyone can or will use PayPal. There are more secure, friendly, and cheaper (less fees) options beyond PayPal PayPal Lawsuit = http://tinyurl.com/6l2ymse PayPal Reviews = http://tinyurl.com/3g5dy2m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as stated before, Nexus it self does let you use more then one payment gateway, just it is not used here. Also the payment gateways really doesn't have anything to do with 3.2 :P.

♥ Adam ♠ Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Also the payment gateways really doesn't have anything to do with 3.2 :tongue:. I would disagree. Anyone buying into Invision 3.2 would be limited (restricted) to what IPS Marketplace supports, unless you seek alternative means to obtaining things.

Yes if you do buy IP.Board 3.2 you have to use paypal to buy a hook/application/skin/etc, as I said thought that doesn't have to do with the topic of this topic. This topic is to talk about what you think about "IP.Board 3.2" not the gateway payments IPS have decided to use on the marketplace as there are far more you can use if you buy Nexus your self.

When I look at Invision 3.2, I do not just see the forum. I see...Forum Software (core) Other IPS Products (which are being updated to work with 3.2 or newer) Support Modifications Skins Company Policy License And I would assume more smart shoppers see this as well.

.Ian Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 What you are moaning about there has nothing to do with 3.2 - it was the same with 3.1. x which is the only version currently sold by IPS. If you do not wish to use PayPal then you may be able to buy some of the hooks, skins, applications from developers own sites and pay by other means. IPS use PayPal and that is the situation now and for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I actually love the new skin - I brought IPB thinking I would get a nice skin, as the old skin it shipped with in my eye's was horrid, however, after buying a skin for IPB, I have decided that my forum will be the basic 3.2 skin as it's just amazingly clean! Love the new "Like" button, most my users should use facebook, and it should get them more involved in the community.. The old reputation was used for friends and enemies, not by every day visitors, however the new like system - I can see anyone using it! I cant wait! EDIT: Just setup the beta on a test board, and one thing Im not too keen on is the ACP theme... It's a little backwards from the old version? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
• Jay • Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 IPS use PayPal and that is the situation now and for the foreseeable future. While PayPal is the method used in the marketplace, it may be possible for customers to make an arrangement to use other payment methods by dealing directly with the billing department. It wouldn't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishfish0001 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I thought you could pay for something on PayPal with a credit card...? I feel like all the anger right now is simply people not liking change, as it seems to happen after every release. As I've always said, if you aren't happy with a product, and the developers have pointed out their reasonings and you aren't happy, then find a new product or make your own. While they should listen to our concerns, in the end it is up to IPS to make the decisions, not us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Moiraine Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Despite some misgivings I do quite like 3.2. Obviously I'll have to play with it more but so far so good.
