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...

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
