Please perform a hard refresh / delete any browser caches to ensure the very latest JS and CSS is retrieved by your browser. If you experience any JS errors or 'missing' features, it is likely to be a stale browser cache.

Notable improvements in this version:
- New mobile skin now fully integrated into 3.1



- New user-agents added to cover most modern mobile phones. These are tied to the mobile skin


- New notifications drop down and other notification improvements


Please note that the mobile skin is still being developed and as such, please expect to notice a few niggles here and there.

Its using an IPS server (or cluster of, I'm not aware of the backend technicalities) , so you do not have to worry about server loads, this is one of the reasons why its not a product you can download and install yourself.

Do you still think to provide the service only trought your servers?

We are pleased to announce Invision Power Board 3.0.1 has been released.

This is the first maintenance release for IP.Board 3 and addresses the most critical issues discovered during the first large-scale usage of IP.Board 3's release. Also, IP.Blog, IP.Gallery, and IP.Downloads have received a maintenance update. Thanks to everyone who was an early-user of IP.Board 3.0.0 and reported issues that you came across.

Major Changes Since 3.0.0

Among many dozens of smaller bugs fixed, the following large changes and fixes have been made in 3.0.1 release:

• Option to view search results in a view similar to a forum.
  
• More filter and sort options with search
  
• Optimized search and view new content to improve performance
  
• Sessions not clearing in some PHP versions fixed. Will improve performance on those versions.
