Hello, i don't know if this is the right section to post this but, is there a way i can buy an older version of ipb? such as 3.1.4?

Not really. Why do you want an older version? If you just like the default skin of 3.0/3.1, there are a few copies of it in the Marketplace. If your new community depends on an older mod, one of us will happily upgrade it for you, it usually isn't that much work.

They have this in the previous versions in the archive. They should add all the old files including 2.3.6, etc. and put a disclaimer saying its not supported by IPB.

The problem with that would be that some would use them, then not be happy if (for example) had to put in a support request for say 2.3.6 (or lower) and found it was not supported officially anymore.

Having said that in the support forums, fellow customers will usually assist with older versions where possible. I try to as well where I can.

It just makes sense to only have available for download from the Client Area versions that are still currently officially supported, that's all.

Hello,

It is possible to download any version that we currently support, however periodically we will will make versions EOL (End of Line)

When this happens we will be unable to support that version and the download ability for it will also be withdrawn.

Currently the oldest support version is 3.1.4 but this will shortly cease.

its fine, i understand, no offense to this company or something but imo i think the 3.1.4 is the best rather then the newer version thats why i want an old one

I agree. Offering outdated software will cause the problems highlighted above.

i went to the client area i dont see older version

It can be accessed via the "Downloads" tab - if you are having trouble locating it please open a ticket with Accounts/Billing or email [email protected]

[Eperjesi123]

i dont have one yet, can i still open a ticket without not having a licence yet? i will soon, im still debating if i wanna get ipb, i just signed up for questions

[bfarber]

If you don't have a license yet, then you of course won't have access to download any files from the client area.

Thank you!, last question i found out there is a cheaper route, i can get ipb board for basic 10 if i do the hosting, but for example, i see only 10 online users can be on the time, i dont get that say i have 1,000 signed up. and one day i have 50 people on my site, only 10 will be able to get on?

With the hosting account limits, clicking the ? icon next to the limit shows this
