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.

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.

They will probably upgrade sometime this year. But wait, there mods would stay where they are. IP. 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.

Some hooks have issues, however my upgrades all have ran smoothly though.

We are going to upgrade but we're waiting for a few bug fix releases first

Which ones?

[Kamran Mackey]

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]

Until this list is a bit shorter http://community.inv...tml/_/ip-board/

We may upgrade when 3.4.2 is released

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.

Why can't you do it with hooks??

[+Brando212]

wow, that's a lot of modifications

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.

How would hooks have trouble with multiserver setups??
