Arun 795 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) We have now purchased a license for Invision Power Board (the forum script) and upgraded IPB to the latest version (2.1.3) today. Having a license would mean access to unlimited number of updates, which in turn would mean more features, functions and stability to the forum. Invision Power Services had released several updates in between, including security patches and we were deprived of them since we did not have a license. Now we can breathe easily and enjoy more features on board, especially in the run up to the much anticipated IPB version 3.0. Moreover, we can now request and receive official technical support directly from IPS incase any issues needs to be fixed on the forum. Even though version 2.1.3 wasn't a major upgrade (from 2.0.0), there are a few new features and lots of bugs fixed. Some of the new features include the Rich Text Editor, Quick Edit, etc. (yes, RIMweb has been AJAXed too !), and a few new features for the moderators which should make their life easier. Other new features include: Rich Text (WYSIWYG) Editor Allows members to easily format their posts, signatures and personal messages. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) Allow others to syndicate RIMweb.in contents by setting up exclusive RSS export streams from forums of your choice. Multiple Question Polls Create new polls in our easy to use interface. Set different questions for multiple question polls. Member's Display Name Optionally allows members to choose thier own display name which is separate from their log-in username. Improved Forum and Topic Marking Forum are topic markers are now stored in the database. Our comprehensive system accurately tracks all your unread topics regardless of which computer you use to access your account. Topic Rating Allows members to rate each other's topics. In-line Topic Editing An IPS innovation: Edit topics from the forum listing without a need to refresh your page! In-line Post Editing An IPS innovation: Edit posts quickly from the topic view page without reloading the topic! Member Name Suggest An IPS innovation: When composing a new PM, enter part of a member's name and IPB will bring up a list of suggested matches, instantly! MyAssistant Re-Designed An IPS innovation: A combined floating palette comprising of instant notification of new PMs with the ability to cycle through recent PMs. Instant "new posts" listing, and quick search - all used without a single page refresh! Other than skin related issues (we have some work to do on it), if you encounter any problems in the forum, please do report them here !

Puneet 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Great work Arun. Now let us exploit the full power of the new version :-) I still do not see the online edit feature Its here and I love it. This is great for correcting small typos that come to your notice only after the post had been made. Edited December 15, 2005 by Puneet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anujit 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 Cool man. Thanks Arun. Btw, how much does the licence cost? And shouldnt everyone (who wants too) share it? Or maybe we could consider a open/free messaging board? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 Btw, how much does the licence cost?Its a single domain perpetual license which comes for US$ 185And shouldnt everyone (who wants too) share it?Or maybe we could consider a open/free messaging board? Couldn't get you actually. Can you be more specific ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puneet 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 And shouldnt everyone (who wants too) share it?Or maybe we could consider a open/free messaging board? Couldn't get you actually. Can you be more specific ? I think anujit wants to know if he (or we) can share some part of the $185 somehow. And he says that we might shift to a free board.

Puneet 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 Well, he wants to know if he can give you some money as his share of $185. I guess that is more than a clue now His second advice no longer holds as we have a perpetual license now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anujit 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 Yeah thats right. I meant whoever wants to should be able to chip in for the licence, server maintenance and the like. It could be through cash, offering hosting space, helping with the maintainance, marketing and other odd jobs. I know the mods are doing some of this already. But others should be able to join in this as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abhay 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) cool congracts on the new upgrade new theme/skin looks cool * * my only problem with the new skin/theme is some members (who are rimweb addicts) have some othere ICON which is bigger then the normal one and so the posts look a little bit messy like for eg RajanPERT is a RIMweb addict so his ICON is bit bigger not much of a problem but just a normal pointer Edited December 14, 2005 by abhay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arun 795 Report post Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) Thanks guys for the compliments ! I still do not see the online edit feature Its here and I love it. This is great for correcting small typos that come to your notice only after the post had been made. Good to see that you have figured it (inline edit, not online edit !) by now. Yeah, both the Ajax based in-line topic editing and in-line post editing are really cool features especially for the moderators ! Well, he wants to know if he can give you some money as his share of $185. I guess that is more than a clue now His second advice no longer holds as we have a perpetual license now. Ah, sorry about that, I thought he was referring to sharing the license. And his idea of using a free messaging board *now* added to my confusion. Yeah thats right. I meant whoever wants to should be able to chip in for the licence, server maintenance and the like. It could be through cash, offering hosting space, helping with the maintainance, marketing and other odd jobs. I know the mods are doing some of this already. But others should be able to join in this as well. Thanks for the kind words, anyway I do not want to go for a donation campaign. I'd be more than happy if members would spread the word about RIMweb and just keep posting in the forum Hey my problem which are related to Old Version, accessing RIMWEB by R Surf is finally solved. Nice to hear that, Rajan ! thats really great the trial word has gone sine 4-5 days back and there was a asep[arate line showing licenced to www.rimweb.in but the official anouncement is today The announcement was done only after the forum was updated to the latest version, even though the license was applied by a few days ago. The upgrade was done by IPS staff. * my only problem with the new skin/theme issome members (who are rimweb addicts) have some othere ICON which is bigger then the normal one and so the posts look a little bit messy like for eg RajanPERT is a RIMweb addict so his ICON is bit bigger pls Add good looking Skins As I've mentioned in my first post, we are still working on the Skins. Once the work with the skins gets completed, it will be announced in this thread by a moderator. You may post your issues other than Skin related problems in this thread for now.

amtrag 20 Report post Posted December 19, 2005 Hi, Now I don't see the RIMweb logo on the top of the screen since the upgrade happened. The IPB default logo appears now... Also, is only the default skin available currently? ...becoz I don't see any other skins in the drop-down skin selector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
