I regret that I upgraded to 3.For whatever need you have, the installation of a community forum board can be important. very disappointing to have a software company after so many years of paying good money for upgrades & support to simply slap their members in the face with what they think we should use rather than giving us the option to Enable or Disable past features through Admin Support for this forum has gone downhill & basically they have driven me into searching for another.
#Invision Power Board v2.2 mods#
Some of the features which I as well as my community had grown to love over the past 6+ years were simply removed with no explanation & now the mods & developers can't even be bothered answering the reason for doing so in their own forum
#Invision Power Board v2.2 skin#
Topic descriptions were also removed & the answer I received for this was that I could code the skin to see them but couldn't add anymore I requested where this info came from as no one asked me & recieve very poor responce for the high support prices paid.īasically Avatars were removed & now personal photos are your avatars, you can no longer have external links to photohosting accounts for your avatars & the avatar galleries have been removed. With the latest release a lot of new functionality was introduced which is great however a lot of old features which were widely utilised by my community were removed without so much as a reason why except that Members didn't use these features. I have used this software for over 6 years & was very happy with them until the new release of 3.2 It will therefore make the upgrading more simple and smooth, because you will not have to remodify each files where you put additional updates.
You won't have, for this time, to directly modify the IP.Board source code, the architecture is already ready for this. We cannot forget the Hook System that allows adding your own features or trigger specific event when a post is created, a new topic is written. Note that this tool is also used to create bridge to existing softwares, like Wordpress or Joomla. And if this is not sufficient, the IP.Converge product will help you integrating your own user database. IP.Board supports by default OpenId, LDAP and Windows Live (limited to Microsoft OS) connections. We were really impressed by the list of default user accounts plugins. The cache system is really powerful, and a Performance Mode could be enabled if your forum slows down. Those fields are generally not used at all but you find them in almost every forum softwares. It is really rare to see a forum software supporting custom profile fields by default, but IP.Board does it! The classic MSN, AIM, Yahoo contacts field are actually optional and could be directly removed. See Hosted Communities Services Prices available here.

If you do not want to install and upgrade your own Invision Power Board software, you can use the Hosted Communities service, that provides you a ready-to-use IP.Board.
The most known are IP.Blog - a blog system, IP.Gallery - a pictures and photos library, IP.Content - a CMS system, IP.Chat - a a web interface to discuss and IP.Downloads - a download manager. IP.Board is actually a platform on which you can install additional products that Invision Power provides. Invision Power Services develops additional products that are totally compatible to IP.Board. IP.Board is mainly developed for MySQL and PHP 5.0, that is a solid base for implementing such kind of forum software.
