chromis Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 It was easy enough to install for some who knows how to use cpanel and has a basic understanding of these type of installations. I have worked with one hosted brand, one open source, played with a few more open sources and have a copy of another big brand at work and I can honestly say this is a joy to work with and the best to date. I think the IPS people have got the right blend of the "blog" feel along with the expected features while not opting in for gimmicky, pointless features. It has taken me a little while to find my way around the admin control panel but it's new so that is a learning curve that isn’t too challenging. Not having any real experience with CSS, I found my way around modifying it with a little help from a forum member. I love the way you can just move the hooks around, how much simpler could you get.... It has finer details that I am discovering on the way that make you stop and think, wow that's a really nice touch. One of the key elements that clinched the deal for me was the text editor. I thought it was the best out there. After all we run these forums for the end-user so making their experience better is really important. I can sit in the background in admin bliss but if people don't like using the forum then how successful will the forum be. To put in a balanced point of view I would say, I have found the forum to be slightly slower in Firefox 18.0 than other browsers like chrome, IE. The only stumbling block so far is trying to get a soundcloud bbcode to work but really that is outside of what can be expected from the average bbcode. But overall and after a couple of months testing and research, I am really excited to be working with this product and happy with my decision.

Michael Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The only stumbling block so far is trying to get a soundcloud bbcode to work but really that is outside of what can be expected from the average bbcode. FYI, the Marketplace here has both a Media Tag and BBCode available for Soundcloud files: http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/5359-souncloud-html5-bbcode/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
