MSUKForum Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I've had a great experience the past 12 years with IPB until v4 then there has been a noticeable slip, I understand new major releases take time and I feel now at v4.1.1.0, is enough time to of ironed out all the issues. But it seems every update I do, I encounter problems, it's frustrating for me and more so my members to the point they are "exhausted" of the site not working correctly. I submit tickets, some get resolved quickly, others I feel slightly brushed away with a standard reply. Not the quality it was before. You've done a great job but I almost feel everything is rushed lately, then you are tripping over yourselves trying to fix it and causing more problems on the way. Are you understaffed? Have key experts and managers left? What's the deal here, I hope it improves.
CalvinK Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I think that you have just been unlucky. Every update I have done has been without issue and I imagine the vast majority of people have also had troublefree updates to the software.
Tyler Cassidy Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Always worked fine for me, the couple bugs I encountered were minor and were quickly fixed! I guess my only gripe would be the diff script used when upgrading themes, a temporary 2gb memory limit on php to get it to run seems a bit excessive

Jed Rosenzweig Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 See, I love the diff tool. Life before the diff tool was a serious PITA. Diff edits might be monotonous but at least they are doable.
Saurabh Jain Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 at times there has been a difficulty.........but if I look my journey... I have been with IPS since 2008.... it looks very good...

Diff edits might be monotonous but at least they are doable. Can you point me in the direction of the documentation on a diff tool? I have a theme I purchased from a 3rd party and every time they come up with an update I have to re-do the modifications to it (both CSS and HTML/PHP modifications). Is there a way to make this process suck less?
Jed Rosenzweig Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 @ModSquadHockey I doubt it has much documentation: it's pretty easy to use. https://invisionpower.com/?app=core&module=system&controller=plugins&do=diff

steve00 Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Upgraded new version yesterday and no problems (told me differences and chose to use new version)
ModSquadHockey Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 2 minutes ago, steve00 said: Upgraded new version yesterday and no problems (told me differences and chose to use new version) Upgraded theme version? or IPB version? I had no issues updating the forum software (we're on 4.1.13.2). The issue happens when I try to upload a newer version of our theme.
