We've started the work for it. We've also identified a number of issues with some of our mods (we have a lot) that will work a lot better in 3.4, plus we're also hoping that the Subscriptions (IPB team unofficial mod/hack) will be updated, but aren't ruling out just making it compatible ourselves so we can upgrade, but obviously we don't want to add more work to an already huge task :p

From what I hear most of our common mod hacks have already been worked into our testing area and I'll also be doing some work there tomorrow and the coming week (mainly testing etc).

I hope we can do it in February, so hold off on the feature requests for the current board atm.

Shortly before the upgrade we may also want some feedback on a few things, mainly to do with off topic forum presentation and permissions.

Neowin will also return with a new theme, either with the upgrade, or shortly after it. The main thing is ensuring everything works properly.

BTW, in the https://www.neowin.net/credits section, you guys dont talk much about IPB (and the mods you use) and the software/OS you run. Would be nice.

This feature is much needed on Neowin :)

Actually it does say the latest stable RHEL/CentOS, MySQL, Apache, PHP.

That said I thought there was discussion about upgrade MySQL and PHP for performance... will that be happening or has it already happened? (not that you want to add work to the current work :p)

Good luck. There have been lots of editor issues and please also keep in mind there may be some theme wonkies. There have been some MAJOR theme revamps from 3.2 to 3.4 so please keep that in mind.

stuff is smoother when you upgrade a X.X.x to an X.X.y release but if you upgrade from a X.X.x release to a X.Y.x release that's when stuff gets wonky.

my theme transition from 3.3 to 3.4 was very drastic and me, and lots of people had to redo our themes as a result and that was a pain because I had to wait for my theme author to fix it so I had to stick with a visual skin for a while... but then the visual editor skin grew on me and I ended up keeping it... however the friend and the client didn't want to do that so they waited and it took 2 weeks.

For those with template issues post-upgrade:

Please run the template merge tool from the following ACP area:

Look & Feel > Look & Feel > Template Merge

Then run the report on it

Then go to:

Look & Feel > Template Merge Reports > Choose your skin

After you've done that go to the following ACP area:

System>Tools and Settings>Cache mgmt>and scroll down and re-cache the skinsets

Also you may want to rebuild the templates as well from the following ACP area:

Look & Feel > Template Tools

Run the following:

Recache Skin Sets

Rebuild Master Skin Data

Clean Up Tools

I wish the best for your custom forum software though and It would be cool if you released that and got into offering it to people. I would love to help with it too... . I'm really curious about it.

I hope that you keep the current skins that are available now.

All the current skins will be gone, including mobile. They'll have to be recreated on 3.4, whenever that happens. Blame IPB for their god awful skinning system on that one.

So that means being stuck with a bright white theme for months. So much for the forums having any use...

nope, no bright white default theme like in times past. what is now known as midnight will be the default theme used when they upgrade

this was decided shortly after the last major upgrade took place

Eh, it will be a white bright default theme most likely. We may have a dark alternative, but it won't be like what we have now.

    • Fitbit Charge 6 fitness tracker with Google apps is now at its lowest price with 47% off by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Fitbit Charge 6 fitness tracker at its all-time low price with a 47% discount. The device features an AMOLED touchscreen display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 that should offer improved scratch resistance and durability. The Charge 6 is equipped with a range of sensors including an optical heart rate sensor, a 3-axis accelerometer, built-in GPS with GLONASS support, red and infrared sensors for SpO2 monitoring, a skin temperature sensor, an ambient light sensor, a vibration motor, NFC, and multipurpose electrical sensors compatible with the ECG and EDA Scan apps. Heart rate is recorded every second during exercise tracking and every five seconds during normal daily use. The device requires the Google Health app for setup and synchronisation. Furthermore, Bluetooth provides wireless connectivity for syncing and communication with devices running Apple iOS 16.4 or later and Android 11.0 or later. The tracker stores up to 7 days of minute-by-minute activity data and retains daily activity totals for the previous 30 days. In terms of water resistance, the Fitbit Charge 6 has a 5 ATM rating that should make it suitable for swimming and water activities. The tracker operates in temperatures ranging from 14°F to 113°F and at altitudes of up to 28,000 feet. Moreover, the included Infinity band is made from a flexible silicone material and features a loop-and-peg fastening. The small band fits wrists measuring 5.1 to 6.7 inches, while the large band fits wrists measuring 6.7 to 8.3 inches. Both small and large bands are included in the box. When it comes to battery performance, the Fitbit Charge 6 should deliver up to 7 days of battery life under typical usage conditions. Features such as the Always-On Display, built-in GPS, and SpO2 monitoring increase power consumption and may require more frequent charging. The rechargeable lithium-polymer battery should take approximately two hours to charge from empty to full.

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account.

    • First exciting thing to come to Windows in a long time ! This is the kind of things they should focus on, instead of cramming as much AI as they can in everything.
