Just wait till IPB4 then recreate this thread, I'm sure IPB will win the vote.

Very interesting forums SW> I had not seen it before.

What have you seen that can support this? I would love to know what to plan for.

What's wrong with the current UI? I like the XF UI too, but IPB definitely doesn't have a bad UI.

It's something called trust. I trust the team here will produce something far better then current competition.

Out of curiosity, what exactly is Xenforo "winning" right now?

IPB is great, the features a good. the concept is very nice but the UI of ipb just feels very "flat" or "big", its very "thick", xenforo feels more smooth...

check out their postbit for example, everythign runs and feels more smooth.

I use to be a IPB lover with ipbforumskins but xenforo seems to be doing really good updates, their software is just really smooth and fast.

Its like IPB is old yet new. or new yet old.

its like its half 50% instead of 100% .

along those lines...

thank you.

I wouldn't call that winning anything :) All you just did was describe your feelings.

But yes every few years we tend to rework our interface. Keep in mind XF is only recently getting any real development and even then in fits and starts. We have been at this over 11 years so we know the life cycle of a product line.

What exactly does smooth even mean by the way? I think IPB's interface is very user friendly and easy to understand. I am a member on a few boards running on XF and i find their UI very cluttered and not easy on the eyes. Sure, XF has a lot of flashiness but that isn't really needed at the end of the day. A forum software should be simple and easy to understand and from what i have seen so far IPB 4 seems to be getting a major UI overhaul which should make things even better.

I like version 4.0's look.

I would like to see a screenshot of 4.0. :D

Wouldn't we all..

I don't think this has to do with winning or having an update since the space was something brought up when IPB3 was new.

Would be nice to get some more 4.0 details - seems very sparse around here at the moment.

Screenshots or it didn't happen.

While XML handling and internationalization ARE interesting, I think many folks would like to see some pretty IPB4 pictures at this juncture...

If they show pictures then everyone is just going to bombard them with opinions on how to "improve" it.

I've been reading so much about all this new stuff that apparently is supposed to help make everything easier that seeing at-least one picture would give me something to actually look at. I know from previous times, people have always argued that things should be better and there are always proper responses to that.. All I'd like is to see what they've been talking about.

We will reveal it in due course :) Keep an eye on our blog.

thank you all

We will reveal it in due course :smile: Keep an eye on our blog.

Please please please pleaaaaaaase !! :)

I can't imagine how anyone could prefer http ://xenforo.com/community/. Ugly! Incidentally it would be nice to have a button to disable clickable links.

http://xenfocus.com/demo/index.php?misc/style&style_id=10&redirect=/demo/index.php , now that is some epic forum willie.

I don't like Xenforo style however i love how fast xenforo loads compared to IPB , hopefully 4.0 will resolve that.
