Yeah! How dare IPS try to make a little money from their product? Now you can go pay $40 per annum with "other" forum software, as well as extra to upgrade to new releases like 4.0.

Oh, you will be happy to know the EDIT function breaks in IE 8.0 as well. Tired it on my laptop and 2 of my desktops. I will see if a bug is submitted.

I will admit I was extremely frustrated and tired at the time, and was a little rash in saying that, but I no longer think that. But I was justified in my little hissy fit. I've just never heard of new features being added to a 4th beta.

Firefox 3.5 will be gold in a few months, but I guess that doesn't count in regards to compatibility. I pressumed to make a good gold version you'd encourage people to use cutting edge and try and "break" the software to enhance stability. Many other developers do. My mistake.


I wasn't comparing the PRODUCT, just how you continue to develop during what is meant to be a beta phase, which is extremely frustrating. No need to get defensive.

And it's my choice AS A CUSTOMER to continue to use a product or not use it.

I run several dedicated servers, and they are not overly "tweaked". I run cPanel 11, Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.2. It's all stock. I do realise that beta software DOES have bugs, but not as many major bugs as this 4th beta. Just taking a quick surf around my board and it's admin panel before I removed it and replaced with other forum software, I came across probably 6 bugs that made it very hard to use the software to test it properly. I actually alpha and beta test for Mozilla, and I love their versioning and development system. Very fluid. Very constant. No suddenly adding things in the middle of the beta phase to break features. About the biggest thing they have done was change the version from 3.1 to 3.5 because of the sheer volume of improvements being added. There are zero major bugs, no features being added, and only a few minor issues. But, then again, I guess the Mozilla Foundation are a professional company with proper dev steps.

P.S. The edit button doesn't work properly in Firefox 3.1 beta 3 (to be 3.5 beta 4) using version 1.9.1 Gecko engine, and Firefox 3.6 pre alpha 1 (formerly Firefox 3.2a1pre) using the new version 1.9.2 Gecko rendering engine.

After the "quality" of the 4th beta, I have decided to dump all my IPS software, and will not be using them after 4 years of support. I am tired of them adding new features now, and breaking things so that a board is inoperable (can't edit members, can't multi-moderate, can't change a few board settings) ... yet being told there's hardly any bugs. In my experience with software development, betas are generally feature locked, and virtually bug free, but here they are at the 4th beta still adding features. I've run out of patience trying to develop skins with things not working. I have re-downloaded and re-installed the betas probably well over 10 times each, tried 3 different dedicated servers, and still these bugs are there, but can't be replicated by staff. So, for now, this is au revoir from me.

P.S. The "Edit" button STILL doesn't work in FireFox.
