I'm not completely sure to which question you refer, as they have all seemed to be addressed.  Regardless, we can only provide support for InvisionFree. . . .  If you have questions about Invision Power Board and its capabilities, I suggest that you ask at their support boards.

Not possible anymore. As of today IPSBeyond is out of beta and you have to be a vaild customer that bought a license (or renew) to get support. They read-only-archived customer hints and tips (all one forum) and customer suppod for all of their products: Board, gallery, blog, nexus, vectura.

Wow, talk about my luck. I guess I'll just wait for IF 2 to come out. >_<

Now isn't that JUST what I said a few posts back dude? :/ Invisionfree=RoxX0rz

Not too sure about the support forums though... I still like it here though...

I don't think so. The forums I can see (and I am a customer) are:

Company News and Updates
News and updates on all the products and services Invision Power Services, Inc. sponsors and develops.

News and Updates Discussion
Discussion on recent news and update announcements. The IPS Staff will create a new topic in this forum when an announcement is posted for all to discuss. Members cannot start topics in this forum.

Sales, Customer Service, and Company Feedback (it is a "rediect" thing to something on the IPS site for questions I think)

Product and Service Development (category)
several forums and sub forums under that. and chat for other things
.

You're a customer of IPB? Do you know answers to my question?

By the agreement I don't think I can (technically) answer questions . . . As for switching a IF forum to IPB yes it does cost. $70 (yearly) or $185 perptual license. Then you have to find hosting. I don't know much about switching a IF board to IPB. That would probably be best left to the staff.

Thanks for answering. OK, then, Firefox, you're right, lol, I'll just stick with IF. I just really hope IF 2 will be good.

IPB does NOT come with hosting, unless you use IPS's servers, which of course cost more money.

The price varies on the number of posts/members, but I believe that it's usually around $50. I could be wrong.

Also, there is no such thing as a license to distribute Invision Power Board. I would be extrememly wary of anyone who told you otherwise. You should DEFINITELY go to IPS's company forums and ask about that.

Well, he has a license, so he said he could give IPB to other people. I have 100K posts on my forum, it won't cost more than 50 bucks?

Just for the record, that is completely wrong:

You may not:

* permit other individuals to use the Software...
*  distribute the Software
* distribute individual copies of files, libraries, or other programming material in the Software package
* modify the software to function in more than instance or location (URL, domain, subdomain, etc.) from a single set of source program files unless each location is separately licensed


I can't see any way in which that could be the case, unless he were to give you his license, and not use it himself at all.
