I believe I have been a customer since 04. I usually do my own upgrades, but life happened lol, and I had IPB do my upgrade to 3.0.1. First, they worked so fast, hours really only. Not only am I happy with how fast they worked, but that they made me verify that I had a backup- that was awesome. Then, the board...wow. I liked 3.0. I LOVE 3.0.1. In 3.0 I had to modify the skins to show authors in my new content- 3.0.1 has an amazing amount of information, more than I could have ever hoped for. I love it so much, as do my nearly 400 members. I am so thankful to all of you IPB employees and everyone here that test the software, I couldn't ask for a better platform to run my board from. Thank you so very much, keep up the great work, and I look forward to many more years running the most awesome board software, ever!!

Current skin:

Love the changes, especially the new green bullets for unread subforums and the hover effect for buttons is nice. My only suggestion is to add the AJAX mark forum read thingy for subforum bullets as well.

Lofi skin:

I noticed it received an update as well. Is it complete? I don't want to say much on it if it isn't, but I don't think the changes from the previous version are good. You're already crippling the forum by preventing access to certain key features (like the entire PM system), but now you're crippling the forum and topic listing as well. The previous version was great in that items were spaced out and you had more information. The current skin has less information but it's all crammed together so it looks even more overwhelming. There's no way to see if there's new topics in a forum or even see the last topic posted. What's the point of moving topic markers to the database in IPB3 if you're not going to use them to their fullest extent? :P

Also there still doesn't seem to be a way to change skins from lofi? I love that it automatically detects the user agent and applies the lofi skin, but I'm not a big fan of forcing my users to use it, nor is Google, Twitter, or any other application I use that makes use of a lofi theme.

Some screenshots if you don't have ready access to a mobile device:

Forum listing:


Topic listing:

How come search results don't show the topic's author anymore? In some searches, that's even more important than the topic title.
