Thanks for you upcoming work !

We will be patient and grateful.

Also, are you what we call an "architecht" in IT ? There are a few of them in my compagny, and they know how to solve a lot of things.

It will not be a quick process.

It will not give you all you ask for in terms of functionality

If there's a place to write text and post pictures, hopefully with some smilies somewhere, I think we'll all be really glad about it. I do know the perfectionnist urge to put everything and make a really sweet thing with your hands to give to your folks, but don't put pressure on yourself, our arms will be welcoming whatever happens.

I dunno if I would so grandiose as to call myself an 'architect'

Code-monkey, bodger and tinkerer are closer the mark. I think generally I'm just a bright boy who seems to have a knack for fixing computer stuff probably not unlike Beam or yourself Krys

I thought the proper description was "wanker"

Anyway, best news I had since returning from my holiday about 10 minutes ago.

Running across the web to find forum software and hosting services, I stumbled across this page:

http://www.invisionpower.com/communi...d/convert.html

So apparently they convert Snitz to IPB for a 60$ flat rate

Anybody has a view on IPB?

Is PP still in charge of this site?

Meli are you intersted in taking a Pay Pal licence and take things under your belt so we can (finaly) pay some kind of contribution to the community?

CFR runs on IPB 2.1.7. It is a nice engine, not overloaded with features but pretty comprehensive with reasonable security. I don't know how much it would cost since usually it is paid by the server company and price is included in the rent.

IPB is more flexible than snitz.

I frequent a board run on IPB

I had Invision Board for my family forum when it was free. Then they suddenly decided to ask a price for it, so when PHP6 was installed on my server and the forum didn't work anymore, I would have to pay to upgrade the forum.

So I switched to Simple Machines Forum instead, where they have a converter from IPB (and lot of others) to SMF for free as well.

It's a common but dirty marketing trick that I do not like, and I therefore consider Invision Power to be uncool.

Simple Machine does have a Snitz converter.

Shabbaman · 05-09-2007, 08:14

What's wrong with Snitz anyway? I think we should try the new version before upgrading. It has quite some more new features.
