Yes Timdorr I believe Matt has a lot of work on at the moment and I have seen IP Dyanamic and it looks pretty good... I am not one for shouting my mouth off (well some times) but, I think this could take over some of the products like PHNuke and Virtuanews... Although both of these products are first class IP Dynamic is a sound product and you will be able to produce a front-end site with ease.

Actually, Matt's the only one that codes it. And he's doing both IPB 2.1 and IPDynamic 1.0 at the same time :o

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
