I was being sarcastic. No one is losing anything by the (temporary) downgrade.

I'm merely disappointed that the IPB3 issues could not be fixed and you had to roll back.

Your post didn't really come off as sarcastic. It came of kind of kind of ignorant.

That's what I get for posting without a sufficient amount of caffeine in my bloodstream I guess. My bad.

I don't know if it will take time getting used to, but from what I saw I didn't like it.

I agree. I mean I don't wanna be a downer but I think IPB2 with the Finity theme looks better. A lot less wasted space, less blank areas, posts are separated better. When I tried the new theme it felt I dunno a step back.

But I know I'm in the minority here, perhaps I'll feel different about it in a few weeks. But I will say the new front page is a lot better than the old front page.

Ha ha, although as I chose to "hide" some forums, it's remembered my settings and now won't unhide them :p

If it helps, I don't mind choosing now to subscribe?

Supporting the site by subscribing is always a good idea. (Y)

so it didnt work out in the end as it should? :( shame, big shame :(

well i guess only ipb3 guys/developers are to blame then if it doesnt work as it should. isnt any software supposed to run perfectly before released? that would be another proof for releasing alpha/beta software as final ... kinda lame...

I agree with you on all fronts. I thought there was too much wasted space all over. :/ But yes, the front page is a lot better.

Major kudos to the staff who worked so hard to make a success of this upgrade. I am sure that they feel they've been kicked in the teeth. But like everything else, Neowin is always on the road to bigger and better things (upgrades included). The future will hold good things for us!

A big salute to you guys!

vBulletin has released v4.0 recently, but maybe there isn't any real options to switch to another software.

I believe certain staff feel 4.0 was a major disappointment. I remember reading it a few days ago.

Ah, ok. Well I only see the front end of forums so I can't comment on anything else. But I guess there has to be some disappointment with IPB 3 too after what happened.

God Damn... Invision failed to make one of the biggest IP.Board working on IP.Board 3? :|

This sucks guys, all the efforts you pushed in Atlas, all the time passed on this, all wasted because the damn software is unstable?

I guess you should consider swaping engine then, there is lots of big boards on phpBB or whatever...

Anyway, I feel sad for you guys :( Hope you will find a solution.

At least, cheer up, Ignition is hot damn snappy and powerful, and it's all your own child.

I'm sure we'll see IPB 3 rolled out eventually.

Maybe, maybe not. From what I've seen it's not going to be an easy fix. Staying on version 2 is not really an option either. We might have to sacrifice some of the database or look for other options. Or it might work out.

Shame that some stuff didn't work out you guys really have been putting much effort into it! However I'm happy that I have my "Recent Posts" box back.... :p

That was still going to be there, once the upgrade had finally gone through; and it was even better :(

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
