I've been playing with IPB2, the first public release of which is out.

It's only on my local machine though; I'm not putting it on this server until I know it's stable enough. Tongue

It's got some excellent new features, for example, here are poll settings:
- Polls can have as many options as the admin likes (defaults to 20).
- You can allow viewing of poll results without losing votes. (finally!)
- You can add polls to existing discussions (if done within X/24 hours).
- You can prevent people from posting no-reply polls.

Here are some other cool settings & stuff:
- Prevent long unbroken words which distort tables. (So ya can't break things, Rug. Tongue)
- Fast reply box (but without the ugliness of other forums; it defaults to hidden).
- Warnings are finally implemented properly.
- You can ban, or just stop posting, for X days.
- You can add custom profile fields.
- You can add your own tags (So I wont need to hack the source for the [spoiler] tags)

Ands loads of other excellent stuff! Cheesy

Sounds nifty Smiley . i think that a person shouldbe able to have their own custom poll...like in their profile or something, its just an idea  i had so that people don't have to make a new thread just for a poll...idono

Dunno when you'll get to see it, depends how stable it is... I might wait until a newer release is available.

And the next question: is it free?

Aye, it's only alpha at the moment.
Not sure how things will unwrap when it gets 'finished', but with the current version they've got the pay-for full version, and a free version. Not entirely sure what the differences are, I think it ultimately comes down to support though: the free version doesn't get any (beyond forum question).
