We are now on Invision Power Board. Long live this website and praise Cafe Discussions.

Ladies and gentlemen I could never ask for a better software. I invested in a theme and I also bought Invision Power Board along with the pages app so I can work on laying out the site to the best of my ability.

This website is going to go a long ways. As you can see I'm still getting the hang of how it all works. The users online guests, members, etc counts should come back soon along with different features we never had before. This cost me $400 and while we were using a different software that wasn't as good in my opinion is why I switched.

I can't use vBulletin because the add-ons are slim and few. I instead chose invision because of how professional it is and I am extremely excited. Sign up if your new we are going to rock this many days ahead. Sign up if your a rock star!

IPB always had the best software! 

The looks was always more of a pro lo-fi serious thing. Cheers on the new board!!

Yeah 1@Laifot[/uSER] thanks for the tip off.

A list of things to come:

There is a fine list of what's to come. Anything that doesn't require custom work will be sooner then later. There's a few things on my to-do list. I will add user ranks within a few days - Week tops. The colored usernames and rank title have been set just now.

The users online widget will need an add-on. There's one I could buy although I may not need to just to simply show the counts online. It's only $14 so I may get it sometime in the next 2 days.z

There's a lot I plan on doing and I want to think all of you for your help. I am excited for this to move forward and welcome any new members to give us a shot. We are providing the best foundation for a forum to this date. Xenforo which was our previous forum base wasn't up to par with invision but I am looking forward to it. God bless this site.

Cool! I used IPB back n 2006, but it was quite expensive for my tastes.  Haven't used any newer versions tho...

Big fan of IP. Looking to see how you take advantage of the new features and interactive things.

As a fellow forum owner I'm curious, how does IPB compare to xenforo, phbb and mybb?

1@SpookyZalost[/USER]It's a paid software and I have enjoyed it thus far. Was kind of expensive but I like it better than other softwares and plan to use it for the long haul. There's add-ons for it and vBulletin 5 isn't up to par with what I wanted to I decided on using this. I still need to find some more add-ons for it though.

Depends what you mean. It has benefits and downfalls like any other software. I'm a fan of the interface for posting/profile; but, it has some issues with the cost in comparison to other softwares for mods and customizations.
