jon Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I'm wondering who out there has used the Invision message board and what they think about it. I'll cut to the chase why I am asking. We are considering switching to a different forum software solution. While the Infopop software that we have been using since the inception of the website has been great until recently, we are afraid the both the company that develops it and the community of users who uses it are jumping ship on it. It is starting to fall behind in features compared to other boards, and the people who develop the neat hacks for it have more or less stopped making them. It's a little sad because if it weren't for this software we would be where we are today, but I'm afraid making a change is inevitable unless something changes pretty quickly. Thanks for any info.

layton Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 would you be able to archive this site if you switched...i.e. would all the spray be gone forever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Everything would convert over if we switched to this one. Not sure about PMs and some other minor features. We would be able to preserve the trip index although that might take some serious work. There should be a script to preserve links embedded in posts.

olyclimber Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Are you thinking of using their embedded gallery, or would you integrate Photopost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Are you thinking of using their embedded gallery, or would you integrate Photopost? PhotoPost is compatible with InvisionBB, although I do not know if we can switch boards and keep data. The currently have no script to convert a PhotoPost board to and Invision Gallery so we would have to wait on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
