petrossa Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Shouldn't IPB3 actually run better as IPB2? If one thing history thought us, progress isn't necessarily equal to improvement. IPB3 a case in point i'd say. Not the design as such, I love the design, i love the layout, it's very neat and pleasing to the eye. Kudo's for the developers. Just the platform, the innovation it actually adds isn't that big a leap. And some innovations, threaded comments for example, i consider to be a step backwards. If one could just put the design on the old platform it'd be much more advantageous imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice much of a difference in how the comments or posts were laid out in IPB 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i mean were replies to forumposts get bundled together rather then it just gets put at the end of the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted January 21, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 21, 2010 wewt glad to hear it is all working well for IPB3 :) Told ya guys not to give up and really happy to see you all didn't.

cyrl Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 glad to know the tests went well and you guys havent given up on IPB v3. Hope everything goes well!:) Cheers!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Man Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Great news, bug I doubt that IPB 3 can perform as well as IPB 2. Maybe you guys should think of having create a custom bulletin board? It would take a long time for sure, so I don't think that's much of a choice, just suggesting :) It just wouldn't be worth the hassle to design and implement your own forum software. In buying software from another company you get the advantage of technical support. Also, it's nice to able to blame someone else when things go belly up.

But i mean were replies to forumposts get bundled together rather then it just gets put at the end of the thread. I think you're gettin yourself confused with between LINEAR and OUTLINE view which is a feature. And it's not a default feature to have the reply posts in outline format. Think that was actually a Google/Neowin issue once the forums had been restored back. The default mode is to have them displayed in linear which is what most people will know.

Indeed :yes: petrossa, is this what you mean? If so, that is not the default setting and is a setting in the UserCP (in IPB3). If somebody sets to view posts in 'Outline' view, the posts will display threaded, as shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted January 21, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thats what happened to me the other day, however it was like that after a short downtime in the forums (I think Simon or Dave were messing about with something) but anyway it defaulted to that view.

MikeChipshop Member Posted January 21, 2010 Member Share Posted January 21, 2010 What's the difference between 'linear+' and 'Standard' then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linear+ displays the first post of the thread at the top of every page, but other than that, posts are displayed the same as Standard view. I prefer Linear+ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
