Complete the Suite is back!

Our most popular promotion ever, Complete the Suite, is back to welcome 2011!

Complete the Suite promotion is specifically for our loyal, existing customers. This promotion will allow you to fill in the gaps in your IPS community suite licenses at a discounted price.

New customers can get a discount based on how many IP.Board applications they purchase when they order. However, these discounts have not been available to existing customers who might wish to pick up application licenses they do not have to complete their IPS suite lineup.

Anyone with a current, active IP.Board license (Standard/Business/Perpetual/Lifetime) will be able to purchase the following applications at the reduced price listed:

• IP.Gallery: $64.99 ... $45
  
• IP.Blog: $49.99 ... $35
  
• IP.Downloads: $49.99 ... $35
  
• IP.Content: $49.99 ... $35
  
• IP.Nexus: $74.99 ... $55

That's a total possible savings of $84.95!

Do you already have IP.Board and IP.Gallery but always wanted IP.Blog? Now is the time to purchase IP.Blog at a discounted price. Perhaps you have everything except IP.Content and are ready to power your whole web site with the IPS suite? Perfect time to give it a try! Maybe it's time to try the new IP.Nexus commerce system for your community.

To order: login to the client area, and visit the special the Complete the Suite page and pick the IP.Board license with which you wish to associate these new purchases.

Act fast! This promotion ends January 17, 2011.

We are (extremely) pleased to announce the first release candidate of Invision Power Board 3.0.0 is now available.

This is the first release candidate release so please take a moment and read this entire announcement before downloading. Everyone here at IPS is very excited to reach this milestone of development and we look forward to working with everyone to sort out any remaining issues that crop up during the RC stage so we can quickly move to the final release.

The release candidates for IP.Blog, IP.Gallery, and IP.Downloads will be available in about a week.


What is a Release Candidate?

A release candidate is a version of the software between the beta phase and a final release. With the first release candidate of IP.Board 3.0.0 you can safely assume that we consider the software stable enough to use on your live community. There will be bugs and issues but it is our belief that any issues that come up should not impact your overall ability to manage your community. Keep this in mind as you make your decision to upgrade to IP.Board 3.0.0 RC1 and only upgrade if you are comfortable working around any possible issues that are present. We will of course fix any issues that come up in IP.Board 3.0.0's final release.


Technical Support and Service

IP.Board 3.0.0 RC 1 can be considered safe to use on a live site but it is not quite the final version of the software just yet. We want to give those comfortable upgrading to an RC release the chance to do so and report issues before we encourage everyone to upgrade. Technical support and service is not offered during the RC stage but of course will be available when the final version is announced.




Download IP.Board 3.0.0 RC 1

To download, log in to your client area. You will see the RC download information by clicking into your downloads. As stated above, technical support is not available so please only download if you are comfortable testing software.

IPS Hosting clients: a build of RC 1 for your use will appear in the client area soon. Sorry about the delay there.
