#2270313 New License Structure

Posted Cloaked on 23 May 2012 - 08:19 PM

I like the way this is going. The ability to buy the suite and content or suite and blog is the best thing that I've heard in a while. I can buy suite plus blog and convert my blog from WP. Then in the future if I want to add a forum I can buy that and plug it in. I see nothing but positive from this and will only put IPB even further ahead of competitors.


#2242640 bring the TAB back

The problem is that you then lose the ability to TAB text in the text editor.

If you really want to tab out, then:

/public/js/3rd_party/ckeditor/ips_config.js

Comment out

config.tabSpaces = 4;

We never had that option before, why was it added now?  Tabbing between locations on a web page is standard accessibility functionality, and should be restored.


#2241558 Do developers get a free version of IPB?

Posted Bitter on 16 March 2012 - 06:39 PM

Free IPS products would be great. Actually, IPS used to do this with the Community Developers program which I was in along with a bunch of other devs for a while before it was shut down, so free access for a while was great, but now of course I pay just like everyone else, and I really don't mind it. The revenue generated from sales in the IPS Marketplace easily make up for the costs of the licenses. Besides, I love supporting IPS by paying them for their hard work. It's well-deserved. So if you feel hesitant about buying a license, I can assure you that if you create mods and skins that are good and put them up for sale on the IPS Marketplace, you'll likely make up for the license fees in a reasonable amount of time depending on your product.


#2200389 Request For Future Feature Removals

Posted • Jay • on 24 November 2011 - 04:05 AM

I understand that the devs feel some features may be outdated and/or under-utilized, and that their removal is prudent for an overall benefit to the software.  However, I think the way those features are removed could be improved in order to minimize blowback with the customer base.

Please consider making official add-ons for features and functionality that is removed in the future.  This will allow IPS to get a more accurate assessment of just how much the feature is wanted by the customers, and also provide to customers a clear indication if their favored toy is just not that much of a draw.

Then, if the numbers call for it, decide whether to drop it, maintain it as an official add-on, or integrate it back into the script.  

Win/Win, IPS would have cold hard numbers backing up their decisions, and customers would be happy because there would be more transparency in the process and be able to give their members more of a heads up if something that was important to their community was being phased out, or if they'd need to develop their own solution in the future.


#2194223 Beware if upgrading to 3.2.3 You need PHP5.2.0+

Posted • Jay • on 10 November 2011 - 10:39 AM

2.x series is quite old.  

I doubt people will be upgrading to it.  That would be like warning people about upgrading to Windows 98 today.


#2191589 Hostgator have the correct requirements

Posted Robulosity2 on 04 November 2011 - 11:31 AM

Aside from the fact the Topic Creator had his/her question answered already and this topic has gotten out of hand

1) Most shared hosts over sell, its what makes their model work
2) People will complain more than they will compliment, so relying simply on WHT isn't going to really tell you much
3) If a host works for you it works for YOU,  trying to beat other people into submission saying their host is rubbish simply because your personal experiences weren't positive isn't going to get anyone anywhere
4) If your using ping simply to determine site loading times, you have no idea what your talking about..  Sure network latency has some impact, but its not always the end game

Stats are stats? duhh? that's real time pinging showing how long it takes for your website to load, if you don't care about those stats, you obviously don't care how fast your website loads




As i said, many people think that ferrari is the best super car, but it's not, that doesn't mean anything seriously -_-
If hostgator was able to spend 5 times the amount that other quality providers spent, that's just doesn't make them the best provider out there, I'm into hosting industry for over 3 years,


I am not ignorant but I don't consider my website slow and If I did I would be damn sure to get it sorted. The stats are not a huge or anywhere substantial difference hence why I dismiss them as irrelevant. That's not taking into consideration if you have already visited the site and things considering most of my users are regular visitors.

As Feld has said, Hostgator is an EXCELLENT host as long as your not running a massive forum or no one on the server is being greedy. It is cheap, uptime for me has been 99.99% and when the small downtime hits I complain and its fixed within seconds. Its a win win hosting company for me and I done my research and it is proving to be very successful

Anyone that pays for services like HostGator ---> Unlimited BW, Space and stuff, has no clue obviously ...

I think that's jumping the gun a little. You just said that 2 million people have no clue what they're doing.

HG, in case you haven't noticed, is one of the pricier "unlimited" hosts (pricier as in $8/month vs. $3/month), and from what I could gather, this gets you a host that oversells, but is at the very least careful about it. I had about 80 GB of data on my account at one point and they didn't say a word. A tech also told me that their true bandwidth limit is 1 TB, but advised me that I'll run into the CPU or process limits long before that one (and I did - I was crunching something like 40-50 GB a month when I began using more than 25 concurrent processes and moved to a VPS).

As long as you don't expect to run the next Youtube for the price of two coffees, there's nothing wrong with them. :rofl:


#2191054 No More MSSQL Drivers

SQL and MySQL use slightly different query structures and drivers,  and no it's nothing like saying "Linux is better than redhat linux" because those are both linux, these are entirely different database engines

psst, SQL stands for "structured query language", which is used by MySQL, MSSQL and postgreSQL, amongst other engines.

You were trying to say "MSSQL vs MySQL" rather than "SQL vs MySQL", which is what he was pointing out.

Carry on. :D

#2004877 Closed topics icon

Posted Jaggi on 13 August 2010 - 03:45 AM

Not a big fan of the fact when a topic is locked it has a generic icon. Reason for this is that i lose the ability to quickly recognise whether i've replied in that topic as the little extra tab on the icon isn't on the closed icon. Would be nice if something like this could be added, even if its closed i might want to see why if its one of my topics.


#1998540 Suggestion: Inline reply to profile comments

Posted Nervosa on 01 August 2010 - 11:21 PM

When you view users profile, at the bottom is a comment section that other users can type something in. Right now, if you want to reply to what someone else has said you have to make a new comment on your own profile.

Could I be possible to take the inline commenting system we see in the "Recent Status Updates" and apply it to the profile comments?


#1986408 PM Archiving in Bulk? No a feature; How to?

That said, what you guys are asking for goes wayyyy beyond a simple two line change, or a new checkbox on the page.  The sort of archiving you're talking about is pretty involved, and not likely something to be added to a minor point release for sure.
Translation: Someone make a mod.
