The skin is finished enough to use on a daily basis.

More like a password generator mod that will automatically generate a 12 character password into the password field.

Looks like the software itself was not hacked but a member of their I.T. staff had a weak password. I.T. staff would have as much control over the board as an administrator.

I'm always nice... in my own way. 3.0.2 is out now this thread can be closed.

Asking a question is not childish. A response such as yours... that is a different story.

Personally, Yes I would imagine this would be the case. Each license would need its own SPAM ID number in order to communicate with the server otherwise anyone could post their SPAM ID and a pirated version would then be able to use the spam server.

Matt, Why not implement it where this system is not ran off your servers but instead utilizes an already proven system such as akismet? If it were done this way you would not have to rake up additional costs on yourself, plus all licensed customers could use the same benefits of the system. Do you feel your new service would be as good or better than others that are already openly available?

That is incorrect. Nobody is forcing you to give up your current license to continue using the license as originally intended. Services such as this was never part of the contractual obligation when you purchased a perpetual license. You can continue using your license as always. Free upgrades for the life of your license. From a business perspective it is wise for IPS to get as many Perpetual licenses nulled and upgraded for free into a standard license.

First of all this service is one that has been needed for a long time now. It would be even better if there could be an alternative server/service offered in case the IP server was down. Secondly, to everyone who is complaining about owning a lifetime license. You have 3 options really. Upgrade (for free) your current license to the officially recognized license which gets all of the newest features such as the Spam monitoring system, purchase a new license, or do with out it all together. The Spam monitoring system is not required for your forum to live up to its full potential. IPS is adding on costs to their plate by offering this service & as such they deserve to be compensated by those who will use it. My only concern is with this addition, will there be a price increase in the future for further renewals? If there will be, then this service should be an optional service.

There needs to be a easy way to change the furl. This should be within the admin panel.

Personally I am not worried about those who use outdated browsers. Get with the program & upgrade! I know people who are still using 12 year old computers and they wonder why everything runs so slow...ahhhhh!

In this case I am pretty sure it's because RC1 has too many known bugs that have been fixed in RC2.

Don't expect it that soon. There are too many issues that need resolving before RC2 will be released.

I would do a fresh install on a new database and import over the essential parts of your old database. This is what worked for me & I've noticed no problems afterwards, beyond for the slow loading css/template editor.

To save resources I would imagine.
