Are Invisionfree boards "real" Invision Power Boards ? Whats the big differences, beside that you do not get database access and access to the source files of the Invisionfree board ? |

Thats the reason for my questions B) And if the Invisionfree boards are "real" Invision Power Boards, should there not be a license for each board ? |

I believe Duffy bought a lifetime license in order to start up hence no need for a license per board. The whole point is that IF is a free version built from the ground up with differences and come v2.0 it will be even more different (hurrah ^_^). But IF and IPB are two seperate companies/forum providers/whatever you wish to call them. |

InvisionPowerBoard has a lot of differences from IF. Their Admin CP is way more diffilcult then IPB. Everything would be extremly hard for a noob trying to handle a forum. |

Invision Power Board is just the system, so you'd also have to buy hosting on a monthly/yearly basis too, one which includes PHP and MySQL access. Depending on the size of your board, you may have to buy additional bandwidth too... |

Supposedly IF offers better support, though I can't personally verify that, but it's quite possible, since our staff and members really don't have anything better to do. :angel: |

I can verify that, from the large number of complaints from IPS Customers about insufficient support. :/ Which is kind of dumb, because they moved to totally paid Support, at first, because they wanted to focus more on Supporting the paying Customers. They did a real good job of that, as you can probably guess. :yawn: Idiots... |

Depending on your payment option, or whether you're hosting the board yourself, then yes, you would receive FTP access. |

In regards to the post by Jeremy: There were instances of which they totally neglected free support, when they were in the transition period.. They were implying that the free support was just courtesy service.. :angry: Not wanting to start a flame war, just pointing out that IF support is better.. ![]() @Jeremy: Ha! Im not the only one..

One of the advantages of IPB over InvisionFree is that there are official modules you can purchase. I recently purchased the blog module, and it's nice! |
