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.

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?

Mine's been done patched for a while now and I also applied the editor patch as well.....

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??

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.

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.

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.

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
