    And regarding the grid view for article listings: while that is not a default option, it only needs a small template change, since a responsive grid is already in the CSS. 
    So to have a grid view for articles:
    1. Add a custom database template in the Pages’ template manager. Make sure it’s of the type “Featured Records”. Also make sure you assign it to your article database. Also call it “Article Grid” (that name is later used in the code). 

    2. Open the “index” template of this newly created template group. 
    Replace this part:
    {{if count($articles)}} {{foreach $articles as $id => $record}} {template="entry" app="cms" location="database" group="article_grid" params="$record, $database"} {{endforeach}} {{endif}} With this:
    {{if count($articles)}} <div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'> {{foreach $articles as $id => $record}} <div class='ipsGrid_span6'> {template="entry" app="cms" location="database" group="article_grid" params="$record, $database"} </div> {{endforeach}} </div> {{endif}} That’s it. Your articles are now displayed as a grid which automatically collapses on smaller screen. 
    And a bonus for all those who want the 2x1x1 layout from 3.4 – use this instead:
    {{if count($articles)}} <div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'> {{foreach $articles as $id => $record}} {{if ($id == 0)}} <div class='ipsGrid_span12'> {{else}}<div class='ipsGrid_span6'> {{endif}} {template="entry" app="cms" location="database" group="article_grid" params="$record, $database"} </div> {{endforeach}} </div> {{endif}}

    Please, please, please, please re-add the ability to export templates without a database. Lack of premade MP templates for the articles database, including feed block templates, is directly related to Pages requiring we export the entire database, which makes absolutely no sense for the database that is preinstalled, and doesn't actually work for it, and that's not even considering the point that block templates cannot be exported via any means.
    Those of us that can code cannot help those that cannot premade in this area with the way it is now. I cannot even do a custom locally with the way it is now, as there is no way to transfer such, which ends up with me working on a live site. Not cool. I was actually waiting for a topic such as this to be made. If somebody with a basic clue and can code like myself is struggling due to this, I can't imagine how painful this is for the layman, and the surprised look from staff was not expected... I put in a feedback topic a while ago begging for this to be restored, and have left it since then, but it is a very real need.

    I've been a customer of IPB since 2004. Next month will be our 5 year anniversary. We have a large board/gallery/blog and use Parachat, as well. Throughout the five years, we have consistently received outstanding support from IPB. At this point, I can not imagine trying to run my business without them. Getting the supported solution (we have our own IPB supported server) was one of the smartest business decisions I made.

    Example: We were having issues with our database off and on during the past few weeks. Despite all of the upgrade madness going on at the moment, the guys (especially Jason and Blake) kept at the issue until they found what was behind the crazy symptoms. Of course, they fixed it. They listen to my feedback about what is going on and use that as a starting point to dig into the problem.

    As a note to new customers: During this extremely busy time, I would highly recommend that if you find it is necessary to put in an emergency ticket requiring immediate attention(such as having database errors which essentially take you offline, having errors that can't be worked around while you are in the pile, or if you have your board disappear from the planet), it can help things move along a little better if you put in the ticket AND call the support phone number and explain what's going on. IPB will then pull your ticket out of that massive pile of upgrade requests and issues they are currently wading through and get to work on it. (Normally, this is not necessary.)

    Of course, it is best to only tell them that you have an emergency if you actually have an emergency.

    As another note: I've never seen them as busy as they have been during this 3.0 upgrade. Typically, my support tickets are turned around immediately. I've always been so happy and now my members consider them part of our team. All I have to do is tell them that I've put in a ticket with support and they begin congratulating me for having such a great team... as if I was personally taking care of it for them. Nice.

    So don't worry... the turn-around time will go back to normal once it is over. I'm not worried at all.

    After this last round of fixes, I felt that it was time to publicly tell the entire IPB support team, "NICE JOB!"
