If all goes well, then yes lol

Haha, I did the same with Brent and Chriss. Brent will never see his until we switch though, haha, and Chriss already found hers lol. I creep in the backend of the website messing with code and such Same features plus more. Where things are located might be slightly different, but better, but it will have all the same main components that you are used to. There will be multiple skins to choose from. I'm going to be making one to match the main website, as well as importing whatever skins from my company's catalog that you want, including the paid ones, because I'm just that darn nice! There is a mod for spoiler tags, so yes, we can do that easily. Forum skins don't automatically translate from one software to the next, so sadly, it will go, but we will be adding many skins of all varieties to hopefully fill everyone's craving. Soon. Wish I could be more specific, but we're still working out the final details before converting. I'm hoping within a few days at the MOST, but don't quote me on that.

Major thanks to Brent for the contribution. Thanks to him, this big change is coming VERY soon. Can't wait to share all the fun with everyone here, including Brent finally! haha

Look what you did. You gave my mind ninja ideas and I'll let you figure out what I did

You can add emoticon packs just like importing a skin. You just download the emoticon pack, and there is a simple import method the admins can do. So to answer your question, yes, there is. You just can't have your own separate emoticons than anyone else. That's a nice idea, though. I may pass that along to my friend who makes modifications. Unless one is already made, in that case, I might look it up lol

I keep forgetting things. Forgive me. Here is an overview of the iPhone app: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/311218-ips-introduces-iphone-app-for-ipboard-communities/ But let's say you DON'T have an iPhone or iPod touch right now? Easy. All IP.Boards come with a mobile skin that looks exactly like the iPhone app. All you have to do, when using a mobile device using the internet and viewing the board, is to choose "Mobile" in the skin selector at the bottom of the page, and the site will automatically work in a mobile-friendly way, exactly like the iPhone app.

Actually, a free application called IP.Chat comes with IP.Board but it only allows up to 5 people at a time to talk. For an additional price, you can add more people, but luckily, there's free alternatives, including a built in IRC application, and shoutboxes. My fellow Community Developers and I even release IP.Shoutbox, a free shoutbox for IP.Board. Lots of possibilities that all work very well. Full list of applications are here: http://community.invisionpower.com/files/category/103-applications/ Wish there was a way to sift through them, but I am actually in the middle of redesigning the Resources section of Invision Power Services...so I can't reveal that stuff yet Also, almost forgot to mention, Invision Power Services has an iPhone/iPod touch app! This app allows you to add all your forums that you visit (that use IP.Board) to a list, and visit those forums through the application and view all of them on a very easy to use mobile iPhone native interface. It's a thing of beauty. You can post, make topics, view profiles, send messages, view gallery, downloads, blogs, status updates, etc. SO much stuff from a mobile app. It's much easier than trying to view a full forum on a phone and having to constantly scroll and tap to click on tiny buttons. And it's FREE. All IP.Board forums work on it, so once we update PF, you can use the app to view PF with no added work done by us. It will automatically work perfectly with the app. EDIT: forgot to mention, an Andoid and Blackberry app is also in the works!

Oh yea, I remember those pics were taken at Bamboozle, and Hayley was wearing them during the show, so it makes sense she was wearing them during the day, too. Lucky Catie!!!

Recommended donations are anything that's at least $1. Honestly, we're not asking for much, but if not enough people donate, we might need to have a bake sale or car wash to afford the rest, haha. Personal advantages. I could go on and on about this. Glad you asked. In addition to a much more advanced and user-friendly system, IP.Board is full of user-created content, or Applications, as they are known to those who are savvy enough to catch this hip lingo haha. The limits are endless, but right out of the box, IP.Board provides a full reputation system with no trickery needed to get it to work. It has customizable profiles. What does that mean? It means you can personally change your profile background to any image you want, even have it tile, or position it how you want, similar to Twitter backgrounds in a sense. The design of IP.Board is very sleek, and I personally will skin the forums to match the website, and include the header links to other parts of the site, so when you come to the forums, you aren't leaving PF, you will still be well within reach of the whole website. IP.Board is the first forum software to feature huge amounts of social networking capabilities. You can send a topic, post, status update, and more to twitter, facebook, stumbleupon, digg, email it, buzz it, send to readdit, and print. It makes social networking easy. You can even log in through twitter or facebook connect right to IP.Board on PF. Never again will you forget your login and have no alternatives. As I mentioned slightly above, there are status updates. These work exactly like Facebook. You update your status, and anyone can see it in their timeline. People can comment on your status as well. And another feature just like Facebook, are notifications. You will receive a notification when someone comments on your status, sends you a private message, and more. You can adjust the settings for notifications however you want, to also include a notification when someone quotes you in a post, or replies to a topic, etc. IP.Board is FULL of social networking perks. No sacrifices needed. It's all built in, so posting to twitter or facebook is 1 click, no having to go through a ton of pages to authorize anything. Sidebar. A collapsable sidebar is included with IP.Board. This sidebar will display on the right side of the page, and you can customize it to display top posters, status updates, a mini calendar, latest topics, latest gallery images, and all kinds of things. This is indeed also customizeable, so you can order the contents of the sidebar however you want. We can also add and remove content from it, and even make our own custom content specifically for PF. For those who don't want a sidebar, just click the X next to it, and it goes away. Easy PMs! Have you ever wanted to PM someone from inside a topic, or from the forum index, but find yourself have to find the person's username...then go to their profile...then click send a PM...then go to a page where the PM is typed up, then send it. That's a lot of steps, huh? Well with IP.Board, all you have to do is click the arrow next to someone's name, and a popup will display options such as...email them, PM them, view their content, add them as a friend, and even their # of posts, status updates, etc. all in a little box that overlays the board when clicked, and the best part is, if you choose to PM them or send them any notification, it is done all within the box, never leaving whatever page you are on, even after sending the message, so you are never taken away from the content you are viewing. I can easily go on for hours about this, but I'd rather you ask specific questions so I can go into detail about those. I guarantee you will love this. Just let me know what you want to know, and I'll definitely answer your questions. I work directly with the company that makes this software as a Community Developer, and I can assure you there are some amazing FREE application downloads that we have available and many more coming in the near future. I thought of this as well and discussed it with Chriss. However, we do know that many people are young, and don't have access to a PayPal account, or a credit card, or don't have permission from their parents. There are also people who just don't like to donate, and that's ok, since it is a donation, not a requirement, but yea, we just hope we can get enough donations from people. We don't know what the tally will be, but we hope people will be able to. If I were to show you what makes up a forum software, you would be amazed. I know I was when I first got involved years ago. There are literally tens of thousands of files necessary to make IP.Board. There is THAT much that goes into coding something as complex as this. IP.Board is actually even cheaper than vBulletin (our current software on PF). vBulletin is also internally imploding, which is why a move to IP.Board should be done soon before all hell breaks loose within the vBulletin company. But I'll save that info for another time

Bought the video on iTunes last night as soon as I heard it was out. It was good. I liked it!

amazinggggg

Then explain your point instead of posting such short posts with no reasoning behind what you are saying.

Welcome to the internet, my friend

I like it. Hayley is an angsty kind of girl. She doesn't like to do the typical pose/style/trend. It's very her. It's Hayley being Hayley. I approve, you know, just in case Hayley would ask for our approval haha.

Luckily the bigger project will be easy and a lot more fun once the first big step is done. Blame vBulletin for that haha. But soon enough, things will be rad.

Loved Green Day at the Tony's tonight. They killed it as usual. Glad to see Will Smith bobbing his head along to the music. It's definitely a Green Day time of year. I'm getting excited for the summer tour, and I've been playing Green Day: Rock Band nonstop. So good!

I can't tonight, but if we do during the day, hopefully soon, but if only at night...probably can't until Thursday.

Thanks everyone

Happy Birthday Ross!

Happy Birthday!!!

Hayley says: "rawr!.....?" EDIT: I don't know why my latest stuff is so colorful, I swear it's not intentional.

There have been discussions about renovating the site long ago, and we're putting that plan into action, but it takes time. It just happens to be that we found a way to promote people to admin without Ash or Brent. It just happened to be that the timing of figuring this out coincided with this topic.

That's practically hidden. No one goes to the bottom of the page for navigation. That's more of an extremely small sitemap than a legitimate navigation. But don't worry about it. It's an issue that will be fixed relatively soon.

1. I go straight to the forum. 2. I think I did once or twice, but saw the website was not kept up to date, so I stopped. Also, there is no link between the forums and website besides the back button on a browser, or going back to the URL. Soon enough, this won't be an issue, though

Congrats on graduating!
