can we get this mod installed on here?


Recommended Posts

This is a really cool hook for IPB That gives instant notifications and even puts the number in the title bar like facebook does!

I think it would be cool to have here

I installed it on an IPB forum I run and it's pretty cool.

Have you tried it? It's really easy to install.

It's a good idea, but we are on 3.2 so it isn't compatible.

aww man :-( when are you planning to upgrade? or is that like the worst question ever right now? *ducks* LOLOLOL

It is really nice and works very fast.... not much effort to install... upload to FTP to the specified directory then put in the xml file in the ACP where you should put it and there you go. Modding IPB is so easy.

I have IPB v 3.3.4

ATM there are no plans to upgrade IPB ;) I can't really say much more than that at this time.

okiez, understood. upgrading can be a pain.

I know there's a really funny hook where you can have animated trucks for the sharing icons...

Im just gunna say if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But if something can be added (maybe one of the programmers can hack the code and incorporate it into the site, without upgrading the site itself as a whole?) then im all for it. ^_^

Little things like the notifications add a nice personal touch I think. I just don't want another week without Neowin like the 3.3 move, that was just... painful :o

I don't know how your skin is set, but the only thing that would be majorly effected by an upgrade to 3.3 would be your skin

That's the big problem that keeps being mentioned. Seems with every new IPB release they have to redo the skin.

Pretty much, and its never just tiny tweaks. Always something major... its really a pain in the arse to manage (IPB)

You DO NOT WANT VBULLETIN. Very unoptimized and the updates break way more then IPB does. the move from 3.x to 4.x broke so much and it totally infuriated many a admin.

The ACP in VB is the worst of all the forum engines. Not to mention it also looks like something from the 80's. LOL. IPB's ACP is the smoothest and it's extremely easy.

Many actually switched to IPB instead of moving from 3.x to 4.x

ATM there we are working on our own system to replace IPB ;) I can't really say much more than that at this time.

Fixed it for you ;)

I hope we move to VBulletin or something. I don't care much for IPB.

Don't they have enough problems already...

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
