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

We did have third-party auditing. Please don't spread misinformation if you haven't any idea as to facts.

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...) ;)

Thanks for that. Now he will be unbearable for days. :(

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.

If you did understand then you would realize MySQL is just not very good at searching and you would know there's nothing we can do about that. That's why we offer Sphinx support. It is good at searching.

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?

We have already done some security auditing done by people outside our development staff.

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.

Yes, we will be very quiet.

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.

Would less than 30 days help at all? I know that's a wide range.

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.

I would love to tell you, I really would, but some people take release date estimates far too seriously and will go crazy if we miss an estimated date.

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.

Aaaaaaaaaactually making Subscriptions Manager an application of IPB will allow us to greatly improve it later this year independently of IPB's release schedule. SM will come out very soon after IPB3's first supported release and will be updated much like Blog/Gallery/etc. are as its own application.

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.

:ph34r:

That's pretty close actually.

Don't feel bad if the devs shoot you down in a bug report. They do it to me all the time.

The blog I'm posting under is actually "owned" by the IPS News account.

Posted blog entry today (and updated with video) in case anyone didn't see it.

I get where you're coming from, Ditchmonkey :) ... Brandon was just saying that a benefit to having public testing on a slow server is that any performance issues in IPB3 showed up REALLY quickly and we could diagnose them. Sort of a fringe benefit.
