Not likely.

It will be a few hours before we do the site :)

and new website

hhmmmm

As was pointed out we don't think they're directly copying us :) I'm sure they are reacting to IPB3 but that is just common business sense to do so.

Of course vB's people (some more than others) will, after vB4, declare that they invented everything and we copied them :lol: but again that's just the nature of the world.

Going to lock this so it does not turn evil.

Its not as if IPB3 has had any major professional auditing for security flaws LOL

I like how in this topic he's asking us if he heard 3.0.1 comes out in a week. :lol: I'm not really sure what you may or may not hear. ;)

Just spacing things out again.

When we announce IPB3 officially (tomorrow) it will all go out at more or less the same time.

Version 2.3 skins will not work on version 3.0.

As for what you're doing right.. You're keeping Brandon (bfarber) employed. That's something right indeed. (Don't let him kid you with the "Working As Intended" bit on your bug reports...) ;)

We like feedback on things we're doing wrong because then we can fix it. Sometimes it's a matter of opinion what's right and wrong but it always helps in the end.

We also like to know what we're doing right so we can keep doing it of course.

Maybe we're perfect and no one has any feedback?

Sounded good in my head :)

Most feedback people have is about a specific product. The "company" is in service to the products so there is not much feedback there. Though, for example, our new web site I can assume will get topics here. Probably a lot if I had to guess.

I understand plenty. I know its tough but Im just saying I would think there would have been more improvement on that by now so its not so much of a impact on the server to where it would slow ANY board down.

I say at the very least give people the option to turn on the speed mode with search on or off. Thats all I was saying. Search is crucial to most boards. If a person needs to use the speed feature even having some things disables will help quite a bit.

Yes, it will be a separate download now.

Are you guys going to do any sort of professional security audit before final release to check for major security holes that could have been overlooked?

Yes and we didn't mean to take out the "RC2" tag but bfarber was hell bent on fixing a small language bit issue and did.

Michael and Peaches have it right on performance gain.

Will there be a silent rollout? :P I hope the servers are capable of the surge in traffic.

I think that's been in there since 2.2.0 or 2.3.0 I cannot recall.

'When it's ready', I know. It's just a rough estimate would be appreciated.

Charles I understand that. I just like to know if it is a matter of a couple days, a couple of weeks or maybe a month so I know how to plan everything out for my forum.

You can assume no one here is going to say one day or one month as a date :)

Removing subscriptions manager from IPB is like shooting yourself into your own leg. You are getting money which our customers pay us via subscriptions manager.

We have emergency support department in tickets and also an emergency phone number you can call. Just choose the right prompt when you dial in. We do have people always available in the hosting department. Feel free to PM me with your information if you cannot access either of those routes for some reason.

Yes. Just to annoy me.

I can just see it now...

Charles> Hey guys... I found a bug.

bfarber> Here... have a can of raid. Go back to your office.

Charles> No seriously guys... I found a bug!

Matt> Yeah, and I'm Madonna.
