Evelyn Harthbrooke Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Request: I think it would be nice if you guys (Neowin) upgraded to IP. Board 3.4. It has a lot of new features and functionality. I tried it and it is not buggy. remixedcat 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Neowin doesn't wanna upgrade becuase of the mods they have for 3.2 :( I do agree though. It's gotten much better. Also adds mobile mod controls and it's much faster as well. Chasethebase 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board keeps everything the way it is when you upgrade to a new version. I've owned multiple forums and they were all running IP. Board and when I upgraded to the latest version, all my mods were still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evelyn Harthbrooke Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well, the latest IP. Board is 3.4.1. And I believe they released a security update not too long ago to fix a security issue. What's the latest version you guys are using now anyway?

Redmak Administrators Posted January 10, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 10, 2013 Until this list is a bit shorter http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/bugs.html/_/ip-board/ We may upgrade when 3.4.2 is released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board and when I upgraded to the latest version, all my mods were still there. Most of our mods aren't (and can't be) done through hooks, we have to edit a lot of the source files for IP.Board itself (there's over 200 modifications we have to make) to provide the functionality we use here.

remixedcat Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Why can't you do it with hooks?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted January 12, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted January 12, 2013 wow, that's a lot of modifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted January 12, 2013 Developer Share Posted January 12, 2013 Why can't you do it with hooks?? A lot of what we do changes existing functionality, rather than extending it. Also, there aren't hook points at every location in the code where we need to do things. On top of that, hooks themselves are problematic on a multi-server setup without modifications to make them work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 How would hooks have trouble with multiserver setups?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted January 12, 2013 Veteran Share Posted January 12, 2013 if i remember correctly they had already talked about when they were going to upgrade and what functionality they were not planning on using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted January 13, 2013 Developer Share Posted January 13, 2013 How would hooks have trouble with multiserver setups?? Hooks themselves don't, but the process that enables and disables them causes issues if we don't have one of our mods in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Have you tested these on a test board and how have your results been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leddy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 We (~5m post since 2007) upgraded from 3.2.3 to 3.4.1 about a month ago and ever since then I get daily complaints about the rich text editor slicing link URLs, not encoding unicode characters properly, quote and code blocks not working properly, lack of button-based BBcode editor, etc etc They've backported the 3.4.2 RTE fixes back to 3.4.1 but it's still not quite there. In hindsight, we probably should've waited too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted January 27, 2013 Veteran Share Posted January 27, 2013 What ever happen to neowin creating its own forum script? i read you guys were going to do this a year or so ago? Might be alot easier than redoing lines and pages of edits each time IPB is updated. But then again it'd be hard to come up with something as nice as ipb. Was codenamed IF, so IF was a big IF Anyway 3.4 update along with more is coming soon. We're working on it. +Zlip792 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
