I hate it the most. It's the worst paid forum software in my opinion because I hate the themes for it most. They're all very ugly.

RE: Anyone hates IPB?
I've not paid much attention to forums over the years, but a quick look at how IPB have changed and I quite like the default forum theme (if it's similar to their community forums). It's deffinately not the worst paid software by first glance, but it's also not the best admin wise.

RE: Anyone hates IPB?
I agree it's not the best but it's not terrible either from what I've heard. I've never used it personally but I have seen and been a member on forums who did use it. Seems a bit expensive but definitely doesn't seem like it's terrible software. I just prefer Xenforo 2.

RE: Anyone hates IPB?
I wouldn't hate it, though I never did care for its themes and had to get my own made back on IPB 3. But its still a step up from most free software, though the only reason to get it these days is a nice functioning arcade system.

RE: Anyone hates IPB?
Tbh, I viewed it not that long ago in-depth to see if it was good choice, I felt like it was quite lacklustre and the styling just seemed to basic, compared to Xenforo, I feel like it's beneath.

RE: Anyone hates IPB?
I hate IPB so much.
The problems I have faced with IPB is beyond description.
1. Basic and poor theme - There is no gleam to it and its block based structure and a rigid coding makes it very difficult to modify.
2. Support is very poor. They take a lot of time to even acknowledge our issues. This personally pissed me off so much.
3. Content management is efficient but content conversion is such a pain.

RE: Anyone hates IPB?
Some communities have got their start with myBB before migrating to something like Xenforo 2. 1@Sir Twisted[/uSER] has a site that was on myBB for years and just recently migrated to Xenforo 2. It's called Forum Authority.
PHPbb is worse than MyBB in my opinion. In my honest opinion if anyone went with a free solution they should definitely go for myBB. There are a lot of themes out there for myBB as well though phpBB has a good bit too.

RE: Anyone hates IPB?
I don't get to why people hate it and yet they are on sites that use the forum software and being active on them. Unless they have no choice, But can't hate a forum software because of its theme selection. I might hate SMF since they are made at coding, well in fact that they are and using an outdated coding framework.
IPB, in fact, is what I use and I do like it
Yes, it's not cheap but at the end of the day, people like what they like. I mean if I hate the forum software it does not stop me from using websites that use it Look at bayside and see what you see and tell me your options ;P

RE: Anyone hates IPB?
It's a shame it didn't stick with IPB 1.3 series, seem to be the best it offered.

RE: Anyone hates IPB?
I like the look of the system and the experience as an end-user. However, I'm not at all a fan of how the software works when you're an admin. The admin panel just seems complicated and everything is done a weird way especially when compared with XF
