  1. OK, here's one for you - I uploaded the files, installed the application, set the permissions and inserted the Google API key. I can view the Map page and I see this - I am thinking I'm mere minutes away from success, so I entered my location and I see this - The map is gone. So, I figure maybe it doesn't want to show me my own location, so I logged in with a second admin account and I see the very same thing. So I add the second admin location in a different location and it then indicates 2 users are shown, but there is still no map. I figured I missed a step, so I went back through and checked everything. I wasn't able to see anything I had overlooked, so I removed the application entirely. I re-installed the app, added my location and got the very same results - no map. I logged in with the second admin account, added a second location and then I got a dialog box asking me where I wanted to save the file index.php. I went back and removed the first account's location and tried to re-enter it, whereupon it then asked me where to save index.php. I got busy with another job and couldn't get back to this until this morning. I uninstalled the app, deleted all the files from the server, downloaded a fresh package and tried everything again. And I'm right back where I was yesterday afternoon. The page indicates my location has been added and one user is shown, but there is no map. I'm certainly open to any suggestions...
  2. I don't know about you, but I feel as if I've been here and using IPS software much longer than just a couple days. I logged into the Admin CP on one of my forums this morning and it felt cartoonish to me, if that makes any sense. I've seen some people posting on some of the vB-specific sites about how they've tried IPB and didn't care for it. I am certainly not in that category. Within a few minutes, I was already seeing more and more of vB's shortcomings. With one tiny exception (that I just need to sort how to re-code), I think the IPB Admin CP is much nicer and more intuitive. I'm right alongside you in saying the IPS experience has been top shelf. Thanks to everyone that has made it so.
  3. BSchwarz and I have been teasing back and forth on Twitter these last few days about purchasing licenses and converting from vB. (Don't tell him, but I think he's become addicted to IPB. ;)) But it really isn't a joke, after all. Whilst he's buying licenses at the rate of two a day, I just jumped in the deep end and purchased four licenses up front. I figured if I was in for a penny, I was in for a pound. (OK, OK, so I'm addicted to IPB as well. :blush:) I was with vB just shy of five years, so I don't have the history with vB that BSchwarz does. But five years is a long time, so you can imagine how hard it was to make the decision to leave. I posted a random tweet about looking seriously into switching over to IPB and within a few minutes, both Matt and Charles were there answering questions for me. I hope they both know what a positive impact that made on me. BSchwarz is braver than I, so I opted to pay for conversions on my sites. Site #1 is set up for tomorrow! (w00t) But I did set up a test site so I could start learning. Wow, am I ever impressed with the software. It has a very polished and professional feel to it vB has never had. The scripts all integrate so well with one another and IP.Content is incredible. The blessing is the learning curve is much more gentle than I had anticipated. I admit I was reluctant to give up vBSEO, but when I realized that was the only reason I was staying with vB, my decision was already made for me. Between the help Matt and Charles provided, the 'feel' of the software and this friendly community, I have to agree with BSchwarz. This is the best move I ever made. You can certainly list my name in the Satisfied Customers column.
