Invision Power Board 100
When version 2.0 went final, Invision Power Board became a paid product a week later. Just as with IPB 1.3, some
users are still using the unrestricted trial versions of the 2.0 PF, [5] but just like Version 1.3, these contain a lot [8] of
security holes and are no longer officially supported. However, no modifications exist which make IPB 2.0 secure. It
was also renamed to IP.Board.
Invision Power Board 2.1 was released on September 13, 2005. The administrator's control panel was completely
redesigned, and the posting options were renovated to feature viewable text properties (Rich Text Editor), such as
bold, italics, underline, etc. The viewing styles were also redone, and a number of various other changes were made
including the use of AJAX in many new features.
Invision Power Board 2.2 included many improvements, new features, and security fixes. It was the first version to
undergo a security audit by a company named Gulftech to find any security holes missed by the IPS development
team as part of their ongoing effort to keep IPB as secure as possible. The new version also includes minor changes
to the Administration Control Panel, and also an entirely redesigned profile system. The Invision's team also
continues to employ AJAX in its software.
In version 2.3, the product shipped with 2 skins, the classic light blue skin and a new default darker skin. [9] The
release is mainly to assist in forums that have larger traffic and include advanced integration with other IPS product
lines. IPS also implemented a new ACP Help System which has made it easier to navigate around the
Administrator's Control Panel, along with an ACP "Dashboard" page, showing an overview of the system. This page
replaced the "Admin" tab as the default page in the Admin Panel.
Version 3.x.x
Version 3.0 was initially released on Tuesday, June 23, 2009. The official announcement of the new release was on
June 25, 2009. [10] This version is the next major release milestone of the Forum Software. It includes many promised
features such as a new overall design and optimization of the software, a reputation type feature where users can rate
individual posts, the PM (Personal Message) system becoming a conversation styled feature (as Google has done
with GMail), friendly URLs, and many more enhancements.
