UPGRADE DAY: We're updating the forums 10 Jan (DONE)


Recommended Posts

We are updating the forums to IPB 3.4.6 this morning. The update will commence within the next hour or two, whenever Redmak feels comfortable to throw the switch.

 

As you may know, our upgrade path is... complex to say the least. Our board is largely customized, which means we can't just run the upgrade script and be on our merry way, no.. we have to modify the upgrade script so that all of our own code level hacks don't get overwritten.

 

So expect some downtime on the forums, do check out the main page or something in the meantime.

 

Upgrade is expected to take about an hour.

Hello,

Wow..

 

BTW this is a forum update, not a features update ;) No new themes.

Don't get me wrong (I reread my posts and they might have been misinterpreted).

Im not bitching and nagging about a warning early or late lol; Just stating it would have been nice :)

Sorry if it came off the wrong way Steven :)

The thing is, for IPB 4 they are doing their own editor again (like they had with the 2.x series). IPB 3.x is using a customized version of CKEditor 3.x where only 4.x and up supports IE10 and 11 properly. I think they think it's too much work to upgrade IPB 3.4.x to CKEditor 4.x because they would probably have to relicense it as well.

 

We have similar issues with our news CMS and IE11.

    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
    • Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
