With the release today of vBulletin 3.8.6 today, I would like to announce a change in our support policy for past releases.

What is the change?
Effective today, our support for previous versions of vBulletin will be for security patches only. i.e. if the current version of vBulletin is vBulletin 4.1.3, we will continue to actively develop new features and provide bug support for 4.1.X, but not for vBulletin 4.0.X - which we would still provide security support for.

How does this affect me?
Hopefully not at all. As part of our change in licensing structure with vBulletin 4, it enables access to all future versions of vBulletin 4.
With the upcoming release of vBulletin 4.1, vBulletin 3.8 (under our previous policy) would not be set to receive any further updates, outside of security patches (a service which we will still offer), if you have purchased vBulletin 4.0, it enables you access to future versions of vBulletin 4, and you will be able to receive our latest bug and feature developments.

Why make the change?
We made the change with 2 reasons in mind:
1. With our change in licensing with vBulletin 4, it enables all vBulletin 4 customers to have access to the latest bug and feature developments
2. Making this change enables our development team to focus whole-heartedly on our latest releases to ensure we can provide you with a better product.

So, effective today is provide the following:
Current Version: X.Y.Z (example: 4.1.2) - Feature development, bug support, security exploit support
Current Version -0.1: X.Y-1 (example: 4.0.3) - security exploit support
Current Version -0.2: X.Y-2 (example: 3.8) - security exploit support
Current Version -0.3 X.Y-3 (example: 3.7 - End Of Life

This is a great way to test the development progress of IP.Nexus and collect funds for a good cause. IPS will donate the total amount raised, in addition to our own contribution, to support autism research and support for families. We are sure that our great community of customers will be able to raise funds for this cause and we hope you participate.

About Autism Speaks

Quote

At Autism Speaks, our goal is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders.

We are dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We are committed to raising the funds necessary to support these goals.

Autism Speaks aims to bring the autism community together as one strong voice to urge the government and private sector to listen to our concerns and take action to address this urgent global health crisis. It is our firm belief that, working together, we will find the missing pieces of the puzzle.

Autism Speaks. It's time to listen.

How to Donate

You can donate via the side-bar box on the IPS community index or go to the Donation section in client area.

If anyone wishes to donate directly to Autism Speaks without going through our Donation system we encourage you to do so. If you choose this route and want to be counted in the total donation amount here, please contact Charles with your donation receipt from Autism Speaks.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Our friends at OSUOSL will be performing some maintenance on the phpBB servers tomorrow at 17:00 UTC (click for local times around the world) that requires *.phpBB.com websites to be offline for a couple of hours. If everything goes according to plan, we expect to be up and running by 18:30 UTC.

As this question has been raised in the past, I would like to preemptively point out that this maintenance does not affect your phpBB board, as it is not hosted on our servers. If you happen to have trouble reaching your board during these hours, it is purely a coincidence and you should proceed to contact your hosting provider as usual to report the outage.

Additionally, please do not be alarmed if the version checker in the administration panel is unable to fetch the latest version data during this time.

Thank you,

The phpBB Team

The new version of the IP.Board iPhone App is now available in the Apple App Store for download. Please note that new features like Push Notifications require an active license and IP.Board 3.1.1 to operate. Here is what's new in this version:

Push Notifications

Push notifications have been integrated into the existing notification system, so any event that can generate a notification can also generate a push notification. You can have notifications sent to your phone for subscribed forums and topics, new personal conversations, reported posts, and much more.

You will find a new settings group in your ACP "iPhone App", from here you can enable or disable support for push notifications. You can also restrict which group has access to push notifications, making it possible to use the subscription service to sell this feature to your users.

Once you have enabled notifications for your forum, your users will see a new 'mobile' column in their notification settings:

These same settings can also be updated directly from the iPhone App:

The Quick List feature that we showed in the previous blog post has been expanded to show your unread notifications. When you receive a notification on your phone, the Quick List for the forum that sent it will be automatically opened so that you can see the notifications:

Tapping the notification will take you directly to that area of the forum.

This feature will be available to everyone with a active support license, hosting account, or service addon package. If you would like to find out if your license qualifies, please visit the license key section of your ACP and refresh the license data, look for this message:

iPad Support (beta)

This version also includes preliminary support for the iPad, the application will now properly resize to use the entire screen. We'll be further enhancing this functionality in the future by providing a more customized interface and using the regular skin instead of the mobile skin.

(Yes, there is an Android app coming in the future still!)

Please enjoy this new update and we look forward to your feedback and suggestions.
