if there are additions - or guesses please tell

Hello,

I'm interested in renewing my licence, I've decided to renew it once IPB 3.1.0 comes out. When does that happen? At least approximately.

Approximately sometime after v3.0.5 and before v3.1.1.

As RobertMidd mentioned though, the official answer has been and always will be, "When It's Ready™"

quit repeating what everybody else says in order to get an extra point. Someone said the official answer is when it's ready. you don't need to repeat it 4 times in the same topic.

As most +Active Customers will tell you, IPS doesn't give release dates.  I wish they did because then I could have an idea of when the next version MIGHT be released, or at least when there should be a better idea of an actual release.  However, as BacTalan said, whenever they have given an estimated date (not a guaranteed date!) then they encounter problems with people expecting a release.  Apparently, some people can't tell the difference between a goal and a guarantee.  They say that perception is reality, so go figure that people hear(read) what they want instead of what is actually said.

That said, the "When It's Ready™" is the best answer you can expect to get.

From past experience, I can tell you that a release before July is unlikely.  True, v3.1.0 is basically v3.0.x with some added features, but those features still need to go through testing to find and fix bugs, and as they are fixed, more bugs are found and little feature tweaks are performed.  Mind you, it's possible to be released before July (since it's not a full major release), but it's best to plan for July and then if it happens sooner, be happy.  If not, then you weren't waiting and expecting a release for four months.  Either way, you benefit.

When It's Ready™ - crew that

Common IPS team, how much is it left, 1, 2 months?

dont point me to that blog, I read it, I always do.

When It's Ready™ - screw that

It will save me lots of time just going to 3.1.0 rather than 3.05 and then to 3.1.0.

Wolfie, I admire your sense of humour, but thats not what I'm willing to learn here.

So when is it, IPS team? Month? Two?

You are probably right but maybe users didn't thing at first it can be use the way I tryed to explain here. It's not only an additional security it's also a very nice feature for business.

Anyone to devlopp this?  

Yes...and I am affraid some other did it for other board type:

http://www.phpbb.com...ic.php?t=358975

MOD Description: With this MOD admin can decide who gets to view the memberlist. Options include: All, registered users, moderators, admins. Options are settable from the ACP.

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH! phpbb not invision !!!!!!!!!!! who want to devlopp this for us?

Exactly! and that's the point: even members of the same group can't see others details which turn the member list otpion to a usless otpion! or...devlopp some code to make the group seen only by autorized groups.

As you said: Poof, easy!   But could be so Business helpfull!

No, no, it's not a public board   , it's private, and doesn't need to manage nothing about the age and so on because the childrens parents already agree with it and the group do not allow new members exept the ones reqired by the group: kind of close club only for chilrens of one school.Only the admin allow acces.  

But childrens case is one way to use it ; it's also very interesting in the case you want to use for clients workgroups!

Imagine: you work for few different clients that do not do the same thing but do not appriciate them or are jalouse   from each other which is very very often the case in my work, and you want to put them on the same fourm? naaaah! not with the member list open! So, for now, until I have a different solution, each of my workgroups will work on private subboards but with no members list available.

Does it make more sens for you?  

Hello,

with such a title I am pretty sure some of you will read and with chance reply to my request:

It could be very good for security (especialy for childrens but after all for evrybody too) to be able tp define who can see what in the member list. Like you can decide which forum can be read by one special group!

let's have an example:
It's very "easy" : the member of the group "childrens" are able to see all the children member in the global member list and the members of all other groups (exept the ones with member list display restriction) but the rest of the board can't see them. Hidden! They do not exist like their board so no (less) risk about intruder.

Hope to have a solution soon!

Lets definitely keep this on topic.  I will be honest, I am tired of IPB giving half answers, meaningless promises that they do not follow up on, and in general saying enough to pacify us "until next time".  Lets not give them a reason to let this thread run and get off topic.  For once lets get IPB to stand up and make a commitment to us the customers.  Saying things like "it is coming", or "soon" is BS marketing talk for "we will get to if and when we damn well please".  How about a technology road map.  Say WHEN things will be added in.  I understand for business strategy to keep the long term road map private, but we (admins, webmasters, etc) need to plan too.  We need information ahead of time.  This is how business works.  I know IPB has grown from a small company to a medium sized small company, so maybe this is honestly new.  That said it is time to adopt some standard business practices like this (IPB, it WILL help your company and its products -- seriosuly).  If you announce a roadmap integration date and it slips, fine.  At least be honest.  If it will not be considered for the next release do not string us along like you have with cleancut for the last 8 months or more.

True.  I just hope IPB remembers its roots.  I have been a customer since IPB was free.  The support used to be great but now they seem to be acting a little like the "new" vBulletin.  They say enough in their replies to get you to shut up (and hope you forget or give up), only to focus on what matters to "them" vs. their promises or commitments to "you" the community / customer.

Despite your usual snarky know-it-all style, I'll respond anyway.

1. I didn't see that, was that in an official dev update?
2. was the issue of results as posts rather than threads addressed?
3. Has Matt addressed the numerous threads about this issue with the information that you have revealed?
4. Given that this was "an easy fix" as revealed by IPB staff, why haven't we seen it before - especially in light of the fact that this is probably the most complained about feature of the software?
5. Do you think that if you communicated in a less abrasive manor, people would be more interested in what you have to say?
