Just submitted a quick hook for that. Should be up in the Marketplace soon.

Why don't use generate an "universal" license key without to much security check which exactly formats as XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-testboard while the X's are the "original license key".

With the "testboard" part in the license key IPS can also check if it is actually used for testing purposes and it the license holder is actually validated as an license holder.

I run some development boards on my localhost machine, and one thing that's always been kind of annoying is that they nag me for the license key.  On 3.2 this nag has gotten significantly more in-your-face.  Would it be possible to block these nags when the board URL is something like http://localhost/ or http://localhost:*?

For folks running just Apache they'd have URLs that are just http://localhost/whatever, but if you run both Apache and IIS like I do your URLs might have the port number in them.  Mine are all something like http://localhost:8080/whatever/.

Thank you

Just as a further suggestion if this does appear at some point, a couple of options (checkbox's maybe) to allow the 'import' to overwrite existing entries or ignore them (so only the 'new' ones are added) would be good.

Just a thought of adding the option of being able to mass import (and export) several user agents via an XML file (with appropriate import / export options on the page)

Invision Power Services, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of IP.Board 3.1.4

IP.Board 3.1.4 is a maintenance release that fixes issues reported in the previous version and also adds required support for the new application updates scheduled to be released over the next few weeks. We were forced to release patches to 3.1.3 to address a few unforeseen issues with updates to IP.Board so it would be compatible with our new application releases. Version 3.1.4 is a version-number increment so all of our customers can be sure they are fully up to date with those patches. In addition to the 3.1.3 patches it also contains a few other bug fixes and small changes however there are no skin template, CSS, or language changes.


Downloading

You can download IP.Board 3.1.4 in the client area. You might also read our general upgrading instructions for our software.

If you are already running IP.Board 3.1.3 you can also download an upgrade pack in the client area that contains only those files changed between 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 which allows for a faster upgrade process.


Support Note

As with any release, please expect support response times (particularly for install/upgrade requests) to be longer than usual for the next few days. Refer to your license terms for support response SLAs. The upgrade pack for 3.1.3 to 3.1.4 makes upgrades much faster and easier so, whenever possible, you may wish to consider taking advantage of that option.

Just thought I would put this message on for 2 reasons. One as I would like to tell Invision "You are doing it right!!!", and secondly to show this to any potential VBulletin convert as I think its important.

I have been a user of vbulletin on and off since early version 2 and have seen many upgrades of a large size done to the vbulletin software under jelsoft. Jelsoft IMO was the company to beat and if they had carried on as they did in the version 2 days I think you would have struggled to compete with them, I will say that honestly. Now in my opinion there are 2 things that have changed. One is the management of their software being taken over by internet brands, and the second being the seemly inability to keep up with the times and add what every user needs to their community software.

Now I think the second item there you clearly win hands down as this software suite simply has most of what your ever going to need. People can mention that vbulletin has more hacks/mods etc that any other software and that is true, however from what I have experienced over the past few month this it not down to the dedication of free addon providers, but more down to the lack of need. Of course there are going to be some, however I have around half the quantity of modifications on my current site as I did on vbulletin and 0 loss of usability with the added benefit of 100% support from invision on the majority of it as they are official products.

This one however is the big one for me. I have been reading every blog, every topic posted on the progress of 3.1 and one things stands out above all else, and thats the fact that you guys listen. You have an excellent team of developers that are active in the community they work for (and remember guys, this is a job for them not a hobby). Charles I think has a massive affect on the structured organisation of this and I think is a big asset to invision, and I do hope that his managers are reading this topic also.

So if you guys wanna know why your winning, the answer is simple. You listen to us and act upon in accordingly. NOTHING AT ALL is more important to any of us, whether it be a hobby like myself or a business than you listening. NOTHING!!!

THANKYOU IPS

A minor flaw has been discovered in IP.Board 3.0.5 that would allow an attacker to view images in any arbitrary directory on the server.

Exploiting this flaw would not allow the attacker to upload code or download files, other than images, from your server.  Additionally, to utilize the exploit requires that the attacker know the path to the directory the images are stored in.

This issue was first reported to our tracker by Cryptovirus.

IP.Board 3.0.5
Simply download the attached file, expand and upload the file over the copy on your server
 3.0.5_3.31.2010.zip   10.45K   1816 downloads


If you are running an earlier version of IP.Board 3.0 or you would like to manually patch your installation, you may do so by modifying admin/sources/classes/member/memberFunctions.php.  Look for the following line of code

//$catName = IPSText::alphanumericalClean( $catName ); // Commented out because alphanumericalClean removes spaces

Change this line of code to

$catName = IPSText::alphanumericalClean( $catName, ' ' );

Save the file and upload to your server.

The main download has been updated at the time of this announcement.

That would require polling the server every few seconds as you type to see if a new post has been made. Certainly possible but might be hard to justify the overhead.

It is not currently a feature... I quite like the idea though
