IP.Board is a much faster, much more powerful suite than MyBB. It's loaded with features and depending on how much YCMaker is willing to shell out, if he gets IP.Content he can do a lot of amazing things with the site and how it functions. The skin might not be appealing for now, but there are plenty of them out there. Additionally, the modifications, applications, hooks and addons for IP.Board are MUCH more powerful than those of MyBB. It might be unfamiliar territory for now, but you will come to like it VERY quickly. It has much more potential and this should be a welcome change.

 

(plus Draco knows a heck of a lot about it. ;) )

It took about 5 minutes to load something that used to take about 3 seconds.

It loads fine on mine. It might just be your computer or your internet connection.

 

 

Cons - Ugly.

 

Well I'll admit I like the old YCM better, but it's not that ugly to be complaining about.

 

- Slower.

- Anyone can change their name at will.

 

You can only change it once a month. YCMaker will probably make the wait time longer. Right now, he/she is fixing other things.

 

- Much more complicated.

 

How so? It's the same thing. People post threads, people post posts on threads, and so on. Nothing complicated besides the added things such as status and comments.

 

- Layout harder for me to use.

 

You'll get used to it.

 

 

It's new, so it's not surprising that it has problems. YCMaker and Falling Pizza are probably fixing things right now. Just be patient.

Pro's - Everything.

 

Con's - It's hard to see which are the normal threads and which are sticky/pinned threads.

 

And no, please don't disable name changing feature. If you go to the members profile, there's a name history thing so you don't get confused. Also, f*** points and reps, they mean absolutely nothing.

Give everything some time to work out. In a few weeks, everything will seem right. Like I said, same sections, same threads, same whiny-jabroniing-ass members. Just a new look! I figured out a new slogan for this new YCM: "Welcome to YCM! Same s***, New Look!".

Except the "same s**t" advanced x3.

NEW CATEGORY: PRONS! PRONS ARE THINGS YOU LIKE BUT ALSO DON'T LIKE. I CAN'T THINK OF ANY OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD SO I'LL START WITH A CON (SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE):

 

1. THIS THREAD.

 

 

Give it some time guys. Most of the issues you're bringing will be taken care of shortly. Just be patient...

Falling Pizza cleared it up pretty nicely, although we'll never get back to that nostalgic feeling of MyBB. But hopefully the layout will become easier to use, and all of those supposed cons will die in a fire. Or something like that.

 

Oh, one more con. Whenever I hit enter in the reply box, it skips two lines as opposed to one. Eh... yeah.

 

And name changes aren't a con, since they are only once a month. That way Super Mods don't have to baww about fifty requests an hour.

Cons:

* Can't delete posts

* All previous links to threads or posts are broken. Links break if a thread changes name.

* I dislike the look, in general

* That sidebar feels cramped and half-done. I'd really like to know, for example, what section a post was in. I'd also like to be able to turn it off.

 

Prons:

This face-book thingy... I'm undecided.

 

Pros:

Haven't checked, but hopefully thread subscriptions work again.

The points system is a bit different now, but it was useless anyways. You'd have to be a complete idiot to actually care about points. Same with reps. Although I'd love to know exactly how you get a rep. I know you get them via posts, but does +10 post reps = a profile rep?

 

Links break if a thread changes name.

 

I never thought about that, really. That's why you can't edit title names, but damn. That's big.

Pros:

 

-YCM is back up :D

-We basically have 2 avis

-PMs are... idk, I just feel like there better

-Faster than the old forum (at least for me)

-You can show off how many friends you have :3

-The new look is starting to grow on me

-Profiles have been enhanced

-Subscriptions are much better, for me at least. I like getting a notice that I can just quickly click and see what's happening instead of a PM

-Comments on our profiles are awesome, not so much the Facebook-ish-ness

 

Cons:

 

-Navigation is tougher, will get used to though

-Some of the layout is.... meh

-Are profiles are basically Facebook pages

-Difference between Stickied (screw pinned!) and normal is horrible

-Difference between threads you've posted in and threads you haven't is awful (icons)

-Minor lag at some points, nothing too bad though

 

El Make has spoken.... *gets shot*
