New version released that includes several more bug fixes and improvements. Including compatibility update for IPB 4.1.12.

Updated...

New version 1.1.0 uploaded. Changelog:
 

I will add snowCharacter, snowStick and useMeltEffect admin-configurable options to the plugin this weekend, so you don't have to edit the XML.

In the original js setup, you can set...
snowStorm.snowCharacter = '*';  

Ah it is on then. Maybe they just melt too fast even i've set max flakes to 500. Have to max them out more then, but would really appreciate if you could add the option to turn melt off
That option is also in the .js file. But i don't even know where plugins puts all files  so tell me if some of you are wiser than me  
this.snowCharacter = '•'; // • = bullet, · is square on some systems etc.  

Anyone know how to change the character to an asterix please?

Now you have the tools to be on your way!
Any Day I wake up with my nose a minimum of 6 inches above the dirt line is a day of thanks...

I'd like to nominate this post for being the "Mind-Blowing Informative Post of the Month" and to suggest this gets saved to documentation.  

File Name: Love Letter

The Love Letter skin pack is a beautiful that although, can be used for any girly site, was created for Valentine's Day, 2009.
This elegant skin has many custom extras, beautiful detailed, hand-made graphics and an elegant touch that is sure to get you
in that special mood. This skin can be used for Valentines Day and it can also be used for any girley site, or for those sites
that want to offer a little Pink to the female members of the boards.

This skin pack includes the following contents:

* 1 IPB Forum Skin
* 1 IPS Gallery Skin
* 1 IPS Blogs Skin
* 1 IPS Downloads Manager Skin
* 1 Matching Avatar Frame
* Matching Team Icons
* ALL fonts and .psd files for the logo, buttons & team icons

Unfortunately team icons are board based and not skin based - crazy isn't it?

If you install some nice team icons, they show up in all of your installed skins, but they may not match the appearance of all those skins.

Imagine some nice Christmas skin themed team icons looking rather odd when viewed by someone who is using a non-Christmas skin, or white/bright team icons from a white/bright skin showing up automatically on a black skin.

So my suggestion is to make team icons a folder in the skin images. :rolleyes:

Looking at your most recent tickets:

608369: We waited for you to accept our disclaimer, which you eventually refused to do and closed the ticket yourself.
606915: We responded about 4 hours after the ticket creation.
604629: We responded about 40 minutes after the ticket creation.
603845: We initially responded about 15 minutes after the ticket creation, and then you replied on a Saturday, and even then we got back to you about 8 hours later.

In fact, I can't see any tickets that have been open anywhere near 48 hours. I see one that is open now, but that was also only created yesterday.

Am I missing something? If you can provide the ticket IDs for the cases your referring to where you've had to wait, we can see what's going on.

I've never had issues with IPS support, they are the best considering how many users we have and the limited staff number.

I don`t know if this is happening only to me or not, but everytime i open a ticket i receive a response in not less than 48h.
It is very frustrating when i have some little issue that can be fixed in 5 min and i have to wait 2 days for an answer.
Usually i resolve it myself after some research.

You definitely have to review your support service, isn`t this why i pay 25$ every 6 months?

Let me think, this is a tough one! :D
Don't post icons appear in the lower part of the screen? You don't have to scroll anything if you don't want to use them mate!
You have a little button which reads "configure" post icons if you want to use icons, if you don't want to use icons, you don't have to click on it and then you'd see nothing. Perhaps you hadn't seen it? ;)
And who says you have to use my post icons? why would you want to? you dont have to.
And you can use 1
Or you can use 10
Or you can use none.
It's up to you.
It's called "flexibility".

By the way, luckily, in the rest of the world, we sort out our differences without having to resort to guns.
Give peace a chance, mate! ;)

I just wanted to give kudos to the staff for all of their work on the new board.

We have a forum which carries a visual theme which we have kept with since the version 1.x days. Despite the skin changes that came with 3.0, we have found that skin development time was cut in half to bring our look into line with the previous layout while still keeping the improvements that were made to the software.

Our migration strategy ended up being especially fun, as we migrated to a new domain at the same time as we were applying the upgrade. The only real issues that we had in our first test run were related to not uninstalling mods in the old structure before upgrading. As long as you turn off all mods installed with the Universal Mod Installer and ensure all forums and members are set to the "use board default" skin choice before running an upgrade, things go smoothly.

We have been live for 24 hours now on 3.0.3, and have had ZERO complaints,,, in fact we have had quite a few positive comments about all of the improvements both us and IPB have made.

Kudos again to the IPB Development team - you took an impossible task and came up with a product that blows away the competition!

You know, 14 hours is far too long to just let a ticket go without even bothering to respond to it.
Of course, during that time, I was able to find and handle the issue myself, but if this is the typical 'response time', I'll find somewhere else to take my business.

I'm not an impatient guy, 4-5 hours is reasonable, at least as long as things are submitted during business hours (which this was), but 14 hours is pushing it.
Even better? A second reply took 45 minutes or less. Kinda ironic.

The moral of the story? DON'T keep your customer waiting. If they open a ticket, they deserve a non automated reply, same business day, urgent or not.

Im not sure if this has been suggested already, but i thought it be cool if in the future ipb can have a link in the admin section that we can click to upgrade the software similer to Wordpress. See in wordpress if theres an upgrade avalible ussr can click "upgrade" and it will download the files and upgrade the software autimaticaly for you without the need of us having to download and upload and running the upgrade script.

anyone else like this idea?

I really don't give a hoot if he's right (not in my book he wasn't), being patronised by a user who has no connection to IPS isn't going to impress me. If I had wanted to post a bug report I would have, but the fact is people don't look at those and the title of this forum section is entitled "IPS Company Feedback > IP.Board" is it not? Did I not provide feedback or am I wasting my time? Not sure why you'd let casual users patronise another user when all he was doing was "providing feedback".

That's a sentence where it's REALLY important to say "you're" versus "your". :whistle:

One very useful feature would be to have the ability, with the appropriate permission settings, to see the original version of an edited post, and all versions of the edited post of course. For example where it puts the Edit by line, to also mention the original version, or the first edit, if there was a second edit, etc etc.

Ok, so I purchased a license off of ize nearly 2 years ago, and all was well and good, until 2 days ago i try to login to my other account, display name, .Shawn, and find out it wont let me log in, so i try to recover my password, and it tells me there's no account in the system using that email address, so i find this a little fishy, so i contact support, and they tell me that the original owner has control of the account and that there,s no way to prove the account is mine, altho i have renewed it 2 times with my credit card, i gave them that info, gave them my email address that it used to be tied to, and pointed out the face that this guys name is scott i believe and the display name is .Shawn, i find this absolutely absurd that customer service, nor debbie will do anything for me. but really, what would they care, losing one customer wont hurt their pockets any..just my rant on the customer service here.

I have four (4) tickets also, two of them are 3 days old, 1 is 1 day, 1 is 2day.
When Could I expect solution and my site would work in good shape?
Regards

I know it's probably a pointless thing but it seems to be a bit popular considering how many people seem to like it...

Display "Member No:" on posts

I know that I like it myself even though there's no real need to know it or show it. But as you can see in there, some people seem to really like to have it. So requesting that it be added back in by default. :)
