IPS Hosted Communities
It is not intended for people with a license :) Licenses start at $149.99 and cost $25 every 6 months - for very small boards, this is expensive - whereas $10 per month is much more feasible.

What needs to be done for 3.0.1
Indeed, if someone contacts every other day saying they are confused by a feature - that feature needs to be changed. We of course know that some people don't like change, and so gave those people instructions to change it back. People will throw their rattles out of the pram, but I think (and thank you to Putzy, Wolfie and Kotonoha for agreeing) that the decision to change it was justified, and the options we have for you to change it back are reasonable.

What needs to be done for 3.0.1
We get regular tickets about it (I'd estimate about 3 per week). Feel free to "call BS" or say it's "nonsense", but we did ;) We don't just change things for the fun of it, or to annoy you or due to "coder ego" (whatever the hell that means).

What needs to be done for 3.0.1
:( Unfortunately, this thread is evidence we can't please everyone - people found the old way confusing, so it was changed - now other people don't like the new way. Again, if you don't like view new content, just change it back. I even offered to do it for you ;) You do have to realise though, things do get changed over time - while we can appreciate that not everyone is going to love these changes, we have to go by the majority of the feedback we get, which I'm sure you can understand :) You, rbiss, might not "give a crap" - but that doesn't change the opinion of the many, many people who appreciate the change ;)

Observation when posting as staff
How do you propose it should look? Saying "it's cluttered" is all well and good, I agree, but I can't personally think how else it could be presented.

Certainly, if you're having problems: by all means, submit a ticket :)

Tracker suggestion
The developers can normally remember which issues they've fixed :)

I need assistance
Wofie :D I know you mean well, but if you're not 100% sure on something, please don't suggest things :) It's quite normal to see only the paid category on that page. Dirtbagz, your ticket will be answered soon if it hasn't been already - please wait for that response :)

What needs to be done for 3.0.1
Many people found the old method confusing, and we used to receive many tickets about it. That is why it was changed, and I can't imagine it being changed back. There is an article on IPS Resources to revert it back to the old behaviour if you're so inclined.

IPS Website & Community Hosting? Something is wrong..
We don't "limit" - your board won't go offline if you get 11. But if you pay for 10, and we often notice there's 20 - we'd tell you it's time to upgrade.

Unnecessary files in distributions
Yes, highly aware ;)

Unnecessary files in distributions
:o I never hear the end of it when there's MACOSX_ folders! I'm sure Matt could modify his build script to strip them out.

Feature suggestion
Do you mean IPB in general, or specifically on these forums?

If IPS had a CMS
The only issue we have with hosting is people saying "which host should I use?" - it's not really appropriate for us to entertain recommendations for our competitors ;) But, discussing other products, comparing feature sets and so on is fine :)
- Changes?

If IPS had a CMS
:blink: Do we forbid you to mention vBulletin, phpBB, etc at the moment?

IPB track record.
Personally I hate it when companies do that. Not to mention, what if someone pays for a ticket and it turns out to be a problem with their host? They'll want their money back.. Too much hassle in my opinion.

There is indeed no license with website hosting. It is important to note that existing customers will continue to get the price and features they currently do.
-
IPB track record.
2.3.6 and 3.0.0 are both great products that we're very happy with. The decisions made during the development of 3.0.0 were deemed necessary to bring some great new features that many customers have been asking for. If you choose to remain on 2.3.6 that is your prerogative and we will continue to offer support for 2.3.6 to customers with active licenses :)

Invision Power Board 3.0.0 and Applications Released
I think Charles said he was going to do it after lunch, because you know, we can't start and then half way through decide "I'll finish this later" :P
