The author of the mod is no longer +Active, and as such, no longer has access to the download topics here.
(someone correct me if I am wrong...)

It also appears from his profile that no longer checks these forums.
Your best bet would be to PM him.

He's no longer +Active Costumer, so he can't reply here.

Look for him on Invisionize... he's always there.

Seems to be active on his purchase site :P

I've thought about this a few times before.

I wonder if there should be an option added to hide the language chooser (especially if you only have one language anyway) , I know you can simply skin it out ;) , in fact I've added a quick article on doing this for 3.0. (as I have done for other versions at the time), but the same thing could be said for the skin chooser too, and there is an option to disallow anyone (easily, at least) choosing skins by hiding it.

I'm merely thinking along the lines of tidiness as with only one language present, it does not appear serve a real purpose as far as I can tell. :)

Note the "Installation" header.



No help or instruction indeed... :rolleyes:

This chat bites. After uploading the files to the directories required, there is no option to install this in the ACP. There are no settings in ACP. And nowhere to enter in the chat key. This was just a waste of time.

When we have more information on when it will be available, we will announce that information.

See post [url=", where this was already stated. :)

When we have more information about the release, we will announce it.

As with any business, we have a natural drive to want to increase our customer base. We have an offer you can read about in our announcements forum.

We must also balance that natural drive for more customers with our commitment to our existing customers. They expect constant development and good support which we will continue to provide. In fact, due to the dozens of conversions each day over the past week we are adding two new customer service staff to keep up both with new demand and our existing customer needs. While we are never perfect, no one is, any IPS customer will tell you that we always do our best to serve their needs.

IPS obviously wants to stay ahead of the game and maintain its market advantage in all areas. We cannot under-sell our own products and devalue their quality. Keep in mind we not only offer a product but a large bundle of services around it including private-ticket support, telephone support, our spam monitoring service, and the new live-chat product - all included with the license at no extra cost. It's more than just a simple message board we are selling here :)

I am not sure what you expect us to do. By your own statement the account is not in your name it's in the name of the Scott you mentioned. Scott is the client of record. He could certainly login and change that information but that is up to him - we will certainly not go changing client login information just because someone claims to have purchased the license from a third-party site. Can you imagine the chaos that would cause?

Understand that from our perspective you are not our customer - the account owner is. We have no way of knowing if/who/when you bought that license from. All we know is the data that is in our client system and if it has the other person's name and email then that is who we must speak to.

this is like trying to talk to a friggin wall...

Please don't jump to conclusions that IPB itself was hacked. :) There are dozens of possibilities. If the owner believes it was IPB itself that was compromised, they are certainly free to submit a ticket and we will assist them to the best of our ability in tracking down how the hacker got in and what damage was done exactly.

It's always been like that as far as I can remember. Although I do agree personally I do not think anyone without ACP access should have access to the forum side prune tools. :)

That is a stupid thing to do. Staff shouldn't have the ability to delete content from the board.

If we added a way for users to select which forums show up in the view new posts feed, would that be a sufficient solution? That's something that I think a lot more users would find useful, but should also address your primary concern?

I've been around here for a very long time. I've been watching IPS evolve as a company for even longer.

I have to say I am very impressed with the way things have turned out over the years. You guys make occasional mistakes, but they are honest mistakes and you resolve them quickly. You don't take shortcuts and you have the good practice to be fair and polite to your customers no matter what. You have shown yourselves to be the kind of company I will stand behind.

Matt & Charles (and the rest of the contributing staff) you guys have made something really great here. I know sometimes managing a business can be demanding and stressful. I also know that it's alot easier to manage if you know what you are doing matters to others. Well, I'm telling you your software has made life easier for myself and many others, it matters to us!

No one knows what the future holds, but I can guarantee if you keep to your honest business practices customers like myself won't let anything happen to IPS. Not even if the whole world falls to this economic recession.

Sincerely,
Aaron

IPB3 was in beta testing for months and we have already released version 3.0.1 maintenance release. It certainly was not hasty :)

IPB3 support multiple languages and we continue to work with native speakers of those languages to address issues as they are reported. It's hard to get language support right in the first release as we do not have any native speakers of other languages on staff. However, we are working on a method to officially support other languages so you can download IPB3 pre-translated.

I run a Colostomy support message board where patients help each other with support and advice of dealing with a colostomy, be it for a few weeks temporarily, of permanently due to cancer etc. My board also has a pretty large off topic posting community contained within it.

I would very much like to be able to disable post reputation in the off-topic forums, so that reputation is based on supportive posts to users needing support in our ostomy-support forums, rather than from posting cute pics of the dog with a toy in the off topic forums.

So, that's my suggestion for a future build of IP Board. It would really make my community better. I did ask in peer to peer if this was possible with current settings etc, and was told it was worthwhile posting a request in here. :)

Another possible feature, which would be useful in cases of the reputation system being abused is a setting that lets ONLY the Original Poster being able to vote as to which replies/posts have been useful to them.

Many thanks for reading this. I hope those ideas are useful to you. :)

Best wishes to all,

If you think it's a bug report it there. Not that hard to be honest. :)

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.

:rolleyes:



Only mods and admins can see IPs, if you don't trust your staff with seeing your members' IPs then they shouldn't be staff in the first place. And IPs are logged for a reason, that reason is security, if you take away IP logging you'll just have even more security issues to worry about.



Last time I checked people are allowed to post their opinions on suggestions and feedback posted here. And apparently you don't understand that if IPS added an option for every little thing that only you and a few other people want or need it would make the software into a bloated and cluttered mess.

You mean make it so IPs aren't logged? Why would you even want to do that? I mean if you do that then you won't know anyone's IP if you need it.


What if someone keeps coming back to troll? You couldn't ban their IP. What if someone posts something illegal? You wouldn't be able to report their IP to the authorities.


It's a VERY bad idea.
