Question

Hey guys so I dont want to use phpBB because I hear of all these people who get hacked using that :unsure: So I hear that IPB is the best ey? Now what should I do though because that costs money;

Should I get the trial and then buy it later if I need it?

I heard that there are free full versions going around or somethng like older versions not sure mans I am complete noob at Forums etc. What are these free full versions?

Thanks :D

Firstly, you must buy a license in order to use any version of IPB. I bolded must because IPS is very hard on those who pirate their software.

The trial, is available, but there are set limitations.

http://invisionboard.com/?triallimited to see the limitation and to download it.

About the free versions going around. Those are illegal. If you download and install an IPB from a source other than IPS or one of their official resellers [there aren't many out there currently, AFAIK.] and IPS catches you, they will go to full extent of law I think in order to shut you down.

I hope this helped you. :)

That's not good, the last time I used IPB, they had the free version of there forum-ware, but charging isn't good!

I'd suggest using the latest version of phpBB, then again there are many other forum software(s) out there that are free of charge.

:happy:

Like he said, he doesn't want to use a forums software full of bugs and exploits. ;)

IPS's move to go to commercial is a good thing, depending on how you look at it.

People are only saying charging isn't good because they don't want to have to pay to support such a great product that Matt has spent months working on. :rolleyes:

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
