ScubaCinci Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Nice job with the site @Casper. I had implemented several forums in the past and have not heard of this forum software - is it relatively new? It seems to have a lot of robust functionality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 It's been around for a long time. This is the same software since the last big OR upgrade a couple of years ago...just a newer version. Yea, @Casper nailed this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invision Power Board has been around for a long, long time. It's the same forum software used by NHL, Nasa, Live Nation, etc. They've been around since 2003 or 2004 I believe. https://www.invisionpower.com 18 minutes ago, Tonik said: It's been around for a long time.

ScubaCinci Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ahhh...I know why, it costs $. I had only dealt with the free/open source forums as my needs were meager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had only dealt with the free/open source forums as my needs were meager. I've used them all. VB and IPB are definitely worth the money over the open source ones. Of the two, I think IPB is a lot better. We used VB on here until a few years ago. They got bought by Internet Brands. I wasn't happy with changes being made, so I switched to IPB.

ScubaCinci Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yeah, I liked VB a lot and used a demo of it. At the time, it was the most robust forum software (or at least I thought). I'm on several other forums that still use it but I've seen a lot of site move away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a massive pain in the ass to move, especially a forum of our size (1+ million posts). Most people don't care enough to do the migration. Hell, the upgrade from vBulletin 3.6 to vBulletin 4.0 was a disaster. Most vB sites haven't done that migration yet. Even vB.org hasn't migrated yet (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/index.php). This is what 4.0 looks like: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/. When 4.0 came out is when I switched to IPB. Much cleaner and more professional looking in my opinion.

jporter12 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hmm... For some reason, I'm having to login quite frequently, as in my login is not sticking. I DO use the site from 3 different PCs, but the third is only occasionally. I'm guessing the forum software has some sort of limits for this? Once in a while I will use the site on my phone.

Casper Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 It shouldn't be logging you out. I'm on two different laptops and my phone all day. Haven't logged in since the switch. I'm fronting the site through Cloudflare. Could be one of your devices haven't updated dns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My home PC and my work PC seem to be the ones that I have to login again on. This wasn't an issue until after I used my laptop over the weekend. At work today I had to login, then at home tonight on my desktop I had to login again. Maybe going through that will have the laptop out of the loop again and work as I am used to? It's not a huge deal, just a little annoyance that I noticed. All the computers/device are using Chrome, all with the same google login, if that matters.

Sometime in the next 60 days, work will be switching over to the same ISP, Time Warner. I don't know if they use the same DNS for business class as residential, though.

Tonik Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Time Warner uses same dns on residential as business. Dunno how dns could ne involved here though. Chrome just updated, that may be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Is rep broken? I got a notification that "someone" gave me rep but it doesn't say who that someone is...unless you can rep anonymously which would be weird. Up until now, it's always given the user handing it out.

2talltim Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 My wife has been Rep bombing me lately and she thinks its funny. Because every time I get rep Tapatalk sends me a notification and she usually does it when I don't want to hear my phone blowing up. Any way where I was going with that is Tapatalk will actually tell me who sent it. Plus I take the Rep she can keep doing it, she never post but spies on me from time to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
