Draffi Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Why all the members here start to use IPB 4 as it is in a Beta-Stage?Just wondering.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 standard operating procedure - DO NO HARMTESTREPORT BUGSRE-TESTFAMILIARIZEby making a copy of a live site to a sand box you have the opportunity to make sure your site can upgrade and when the day comes that the software is released that things will go soothly - knowing where the settings are and what they do before you launch, nothing worse then launching and you and your members are a noobs with the new software.There is no faster way to familiarize yourself with the software (find bugs) by working with your data - you are the expert on what exists and how it works now and can identify things that you couldn't if it was all just sample data. Plus there are so many variables of servers, setups upgrade paths third party add ons etc that affect the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draffi Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I understand your words.My community e.g. have custom-made hooks/apps what i dont want to loose (and even Apps here from the former "marketplace" what maybe never will be coded for IPB 4)Did you use any kind of hooks/Apps?Anyway...IPB is now in Beta-Stage, and i have learned, that this site is running it for to find bugs. Why YOU was changing?The settings you can handle with XAMPP or something similar. And the day, that this Script will release a v4.1 stable will be maybe next year!There are to much errors for to handle this - my opinion...
