Title: I should be in bed, but... Post by: SS on March 31, 2004, 03:49:55 AM 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. :P 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. :P) - 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! :D Title: I should be in bed, but... Post by: FragMaster1972 on March 31, 2004, 05:23:39 AM so when do we get to see it/break it? :)
Title: I should be in bed, but... Post by: Galmort on March 31, 2004, 05:34:39 AM Sounds nifty :) . 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
Title: I should be in bed, but... Post by: SS on March 31, 2004, 10:03:56 AM Dunno when you'll get to see it, depends how stable it is... I might wait until a newer release is available.

Title: I should be in bed, but... Post by: SS on March 31, 2004, 03:49:16 PM eh? The warnings worked fine?
Is that a good or a bad thing? What warnings? Title: I should be in bed, but... Post by: RipperRoo on March 31, 2004, 05:29:50 PM Nice, the fast reply box ive seen on other forums, very handy.
Title: I should be in bed, but... Post by: Hornet on April 01, 2004, 10:30:55 AM And the next question: is it free? Title: I should be in bed, but... Post by: SS on April 01, 2004, 11:27:16 PM 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). |
