I think that Invisonboard 2 is going to be really nice.. The problem I have had is I can't find a lot of features that are new or changed from 1 to 2... Does anyone know where I can find that?

Read this forum for all the features. :)

Just came across this :) ^^ Above, yep I'm developing SSIplus+ 3, the original plan was to get the IPB SDK to take over from SSIplus+ but it's a little complex for somethings ;) I am going to develop SSIplus+ 3 with Smarty, SDK, etc. usage.

I'm not a huge fan of IPB 2 myself - ACP is way bloated, there's the word "TRIAL" there at the bottom of the boards, which some people who are students like me simply can't afford to pay to remove. Every version IPB goes more paid, it's not as free as it was :) It's no longer free, it's a trial, then we had (U) in the copyright, not TRIAL. They keep reigniting the IPB is becoming too paid campaign every version.

Apart from that, may turn out to be a nice upgrade. Just waiting for the final release to see if we see the Skin Version Controller back they advertised so heavily during 1.3, and hopefully 2.0 becoming a little more developer friendly :)

Just to inform you all... We all know version two is near final release but, just to warn you all there are some major problems at the moment causing a nightmare of problems... I downloaded the Public Beta last night and although it installed OK the forum doesn?t work at all... loads of people are reporting different problems causing different problems...

The install says CHMOD all to 0777 including global.php (this does not work it only works if you CHMOD to 0666) people are getting error 400 and 500 Admin CP not working... loads of issue...

Don't worry all these issues will be resolved before the final release which I believe will be the end of April or half way through May... Might be closer if they work around the clock but, we shall all be patient and wait because IPB is the DB...:rolleyes:s:

I'm still converting to version 2.0 can not wait...

I didn't have a problem with the install. My only problem is the Moderating Team link is busted and gives a mySQL error.

With our site reaching completion and the design of the site is complete and now we are testing our re-coding of Virtuanews and Invision Power Board... We have also been testing version 2.0 of IPB (not with Virtuanews because it does not work with this version...) Because we have been informed by Virtuanews this will not be compatible because of the complexity of the database how in version 2.0 of IPB, the only way I'm going to get around this with version 2.0 would be to get someone to totally rewrite the structure of the Virtuanews script to run in conjunction with version 2.0 of IPB...

Or just run two separate databases and link the login and forum to Virtuanews as a link exchange instead... other than that I know no other way...

The member's database is no more complex that it is in 1.3 - you just have to make sure of the converge module. I'll be writing a developers paper on how to use it in time for the final release of 2.0 so most developers should be able to make the needed adjustments to any integration bridges they have written.

I just read about converge and really impressed with this new application thanks Matt for the input and I shall speak to our developers about this...

I'm likely to move away from VN anyway because of the limitations, which are imposed on this software... I had to do so much hacking on this CMS portal it was ridicules just to make the changes gave me such a headache... I believe there is a new CMS coming out soon which is going to blow away VN but, do not know the name of this as of yet...

Converge sounds awesome...

>> Download Now *** The download of PDR2 has been temporarily disabled while we address a possible security issue with the code. This issue does not impact previous version of Invision Power Board and since version 2.0 PDR2 does not have upgrade ability from previous versions there is no impact for our current customer base.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion. The two fixed issues in this release are these: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products. Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products. The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon RX 7000 and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. The newly released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver is now available for download from the AMD Software app. Find the official changelog here.
