rich Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The new release has been out for a while and is now quite stable. What do you all reckon, shall we upgrade? It will change the way the forums look a little bit, but nothing too drastic. The best way to see what it would be like is the Invision forums.

mattstyles Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yeah, so long as the new features are worth it. From the look of it its still a fairly ugly beast but a bit of a looks overhaul would be welcome I think. Mobile performance isnt bad at the moment but some extra features there would be good. rubelray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WombatTurkey Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 IPB has gone down the tubes every single release after IPB v1.3.1f. Especially in the optimization and performance department. I vote no, with extreme prejudice. Just my personal opinion though, and you know how I feel about performance and speed lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPicoSean Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Spriter forum uses that and the performance is horrible for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstyles Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Does the new version support writing posts in markdown? We're all devs so many of use will regularly write markdown, and if you dont, there's no requirement to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chg Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Does the new version support writing posts in markdown? We're all devs so many of use will regularly write markdown, and if you dont, there's no requirement to.The current software supports a variant of BBcode rather than Markdown, not sure Markdown necessary would be better - I suspect it would have a greater chance of interpretting code or code like sequences (outside of code blocks) as formatting directives. Probably not to many people worrying about the hassle of writing bullet points or the like in the current editor (picked as an example as it's a pain in BBcode) rubelray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstyles Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 its just that as a developer writing for the web markdown is a standard of writing, so its more applicable to the target audience than BBcode. rubelray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudrabhoj Bhati Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Change for just the sake of change is not good. I voted no as I don't know about any particullary important changes introduced in new version which would help the community. But if the benifits brought by the change help the site long term, then by all means it should be done. rubelray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudrabhoj Bhati Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 If that's true, then we should upgrade. I thought older version continue to get security fixes for a time... rubelray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 I've not really looked at the new features, I just want it for the security updates really. Given most people voted yes, and that it just generally makes sense, I think I'll go ahead with this in the New Year. rubelray and mattstyles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
