Green: Finished Items

It appears that it is still missing a "killer feature"; the ability to filter out certain forums when "Get New Posts" is selected.

Actually, Matt's the only one that codes it. And he's doing both IPB 2.1 and IPDynamic 1.0 at the same time

Thats pretty awesome.

although I have NO plans of upgrading again. I'm still having too much fun with 2.0.3

you'll have even more fun with 2.1 then.. lol


btw.. just curious. how many clients have u made a skin for up to date?

where is the page for this information?

Looks a lot sexier now, haha.

Green: Finished Items · Black: Unfinished Items · Gray: Delayed for future release

That'll be much easier to copy formatted text with IPB 2.1's RTE.

cant wait for 2.1, will be upgrading once it is released!

The IPS company forums are almost finished being upgraded to 2.1 alpha right now.

Done: http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php

Interesting new features.

Mmmmmm... WYSIWYG.....

`

about 11 clients, about 24 custom skins for those clients.



and 50+ skins ever.

isn't that dangerous? doesn't anyone QA his code?

It's called testing...

2.1 pwns, but it's got a lot of bugs yet. Can't wait till it's released.

wysiwyg is nice, like the one in vbulletin...

Yeah im looking forward to the release too all the new features

Anyone notice the company forums are ALPHA 2 now?

Alpha 3 now.

Whoa, never knew you posted here.

Awesome.

I get around.

Yes Timdorr I believe Matt has a lot of work on at the moment and I have seen IP Dyanamic and it looks pretty good... I am not one for shouting my mouth off (well some times) but, I think this could take over some of the products like PHNuke and Virtuanews... Although both of these products are first class IP Dynamic is a sound product and you will be able to produce a front-end site with ease.
