    Best of luck in your new endeavours! Sometimes it’s time to move on and it’s just time to do it. Fingers crossed!

    Oh yeah, and the version of Minify you ship carks it quite horribly if you add any extra CSS files (check out Forcize skins sometime - they actually require you to upgrade Minify when installing any of their skins!)

    You forgot to mention System Requirements. vBulletin if you recall runs only on PHP/MySQL, it's worth letting people know they've got more options including PHP/MSSQL and whether Windows/IIS is supported, etc.

    Again, do not want. It's an ACP link. It's not just yourself and your admins that use it, it's every IP.Board admin in the world. And no, we don't want yet another setting for whether the ACP link should open in a new window or the current one - it's hard enough finding anything now amongst the thousands of settings. Use your hook.

    Mat Barrie got a reaction from Booth in IPB 3.1.0 features   
    Since so few people actually use them, I don't agree with shoving it back in again after they shoved it to the side due to lack of use.

    But, if you want to add it back yourself, go read http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/articles.html?record=449

    F.John, it's a chatroom not a private message system - I really don't think realtime typing indicators are appropriate in a multi-user chatroom. It's also not a LITTLE resource intensive, it's a LOT resource intensive.

    When you say active license holder, do you mean active license holder with service enhancement package?

    Couldn't you make use of the caching engine to update this data on intervals rather than immediately? And there's no need to ship with the software, that's why this exists: http://community.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=ccs

    Official community mods is right here on this forum: http://community.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=ccs

    You will be able to browse mods, but not download. You might also not have access to read articles (but can get an idea from the titles)

    I spent the entire time waiting for your video to get to the point, and I still didn't get it. The only thing I could get from the video, 3 and a half minutes of it, is that you like waving your mouse pointer around icons, and somewhere on the internet is a site that uses post icons for every thread.

    For bonus points, I then went on to my own IP.Board 3.0.3 installation and created a thread with a post icon, so I could see if you did have a point.

    You did not.

    So, could you perhaps explain what your problem is, without Youtube this time? Because it sure isn't deprecated post icons (which are right... there...)

    Where it seems a lot of people (and IPS developers) would like them.

    You can feel free to install a hook (no file edit of .php files whatsoever - this is IPBoard 3, stop doing that, seriously) to put them back. There's no reason for IPS to continue supporting a feature almost no-one uses. To be honest, topic prefixes would be more useful (and often requested too).

    Their biggest mistake sure as hell isn't hiding post icons away.

    I think the OP forgot that organisations like Nvidia and Yahoo use the product. After all, they're organisations of one, right? Right?

    Mat Barrie got a reaction from Tom T in Documentation?   
    You know Tom, I don't know where this mythical documentation for every product in existence you refer to is. You refer to every product you have including a manual, yet... well, lots of software doesn't. I'll do a quick inventory of a sampling of my start menu now (I'll include the OS itself even). I'm excluding "F1 Help" since that's essentially inline help.

    Microsoft Windows - No Manual.
    Google Chrome - No Manual.
    Microsoft Office - No Manual.
    Microsoft Visual Studio - No Manual.
    MYOB Accounting - Quick Start Guide.
    Beyond Compare - No Manual.
    Apple iTunes - No Manual.
    Kayako SupportSuite - Manual Available!
    Microsoft SQL Server - No Manual.
    Seapine Surround SCM/Testtrack Pro - Manual Installed!
    Stardock Multiplicity - No Manual.

    As you can see, lots of stuff with no manual. And you're also completely ignoring what they've said many times - that the majority of their customers prefer articles, guides, inline help, etc over the three hundred page book they printed last time. It doesn't make commercial sense to write an entire manual for three people.
