InvisionPowerBoard 2.0 is no longer free

[SportSC4]

i thought ipb is still going to offer a free version of ipb 2.0? Although, I have no idea what the differences will be.

phpBB isn't bad. it feels like it's been in limbo for a long time now because of all the work they've been putting in 2.2 (right now it's 2.0.10) but they're finally going to have modules/plugins, it should be interesting.

If I was going to switch to a paid forum/portal I would buy the latest VB.

I've got several sites using phpBB, and I couldn't be happier. Glad I chose that over IPB from the beginning..

Does anyone know which skin this is?

1.3 has more than enough features for me.

Whatever happened to ibplanet.com? or .org or whatever?

Skin by NFHiB

Here is your clue.

Leads to a member's profile (UID of 1) so I'd imagine it was custom by the owner of the site.

you can completely change the look of PHPBB2...it's an awesome script

go to forums.amdtechtour.com, and you can see how well it was implemented into the site

I like what you did with phpBB, what skin is that?

Have you tried it out yet?

Got a link to your web site using SimpleMachines?

It's www.invisionize.com now

Does anyone have the IPB v2 Trial FINAL (not PF or PR versions) they could send me?

I haven't installed it but I have contacted the admins (and posted on the boards) of 3 or four different boards using Simple Machines...I found some that I liked at: http://www.simplemachines.org/...ty/index.php?board=6.0

My dilemma is whether to use/buy another vBulletin or go with simple machines. I wish that I would have known about simplemachines before vBulletin but I've spent a few months working with vBulletin and since I'm a slow learner I should probably stick with attempting to master one board.

I really like vBulletin esp all the hacks/mods/skins out there available for it.

It's a shame that IPB 2.0 is no longer free, it was such a promising product.

I've used it in the past, I really like it. The administration options are excellent, superb, yada yada.

Don't have any of my sites actually online right now, so I can't link you to an example.

It still is a promising product. You just have to pay to use it. Invision has put a lot of time developing IPB. I have no problem with them charging a fee.

vB is still better IMO however...:thumbsup:

I'll drink to that!

That Simple Machines software sounds like an intriguing app. I may have to try it.

Pages that leave 1/3 or more of my screen blank = icky.

In my opinion, dollar-for-dollar vBulletin is much better than IPB. I even think the support at vB is better than at IPB.

I too am a little miffed about IPB no longer being free. I'm currently looking for an upgrade for my forum.

I went from phpBB to IPB so now I'm looking for other options.
