It will take longer than usual, but someone will respond. The American holiday, and the release of IP.Board 3.0.0 have caused a large abundance of tickets.

Wasnt IF started by an ex-IPB developer? or someone who was "inside" at least?

All I know is that it was started by Brandon Kopetzky.

Actually, InvisionFree was going to update their software with a free version of IPB 2.0, but Invision Power did not allow them, so then they began to develop ZetaBoards.

No actually I believe Zetaboards is completely different software that InvisionFree had released after hearing IPB would go paid.

It is completely rewritten, however a certain person from Zetaboard argues Invision Power Services copied some features for 3.0.0. I remember waiting for it, for YEARS. I considered it vaporware for how long it was in development. Anyway, I feel bad for causing a tangent in this thread.

3.0.0 seems like a connection of a discussion board, and social networking. For example, facebook integration is a great idea! I also suspect one day a mod will be made where when you update your Twitter account, it will update your profile status. This product is moving forward, and I applaud that!

I also want to say, without that bar at the top, the website looks TOP-NOTCH! I love it!

That's more than I did in the past year! :o

Don't worry, we have competition besides vB :)

Zetaboards? :whistle:

BTW, this is in reference to a post I made in the Customer Lounge.

No no, I'm not with her. Please don't make comments like that!

I mean it seems like every other post you must say her name! :P

Or it could be the fact that she pops up in nearly every thread...

But how about smelling like Britney Spears? :D

What is it about you with Britney Spears? :lol:

I want tactile feedback.

Oh yeah. (w00t)

People sure love the blank spaces beneath the Products and Support buttons..

Well when you hover over them, brings up a menu below the words.

And technology rocks.

Indeed, I'm doing usability studies on the site. I find this kind of thing fascinating...

We've already made a couple of small tweaks to the site based on these :)

Is that image what I think it is? An image that tracks where people clicked on the website?

I've grown accustomed to the look of 3.0 ever since the beta, and I could never go back.

This is really sad. I'm all up for competition, but seeing a company being like this, I can really hope they can, and will recover. Who knows? Maybe new developers that will come about, will blow us all out of the water.
