It's that time again, folks.
With the release of IPS Community Suite 4.4, WebFlake begins its countdown for sunsetting IPS 4.2 by archiving all 4.2 content and dropping support for it. We strongly encourage you to upgrade your community to 4.3 or later not only for increased security and better stability but to ensure you'll be able to continue receiving support for your installation here on WebFlake.
On March 15th, 2019 all active IPS 4.2 support topics will be archived and the IPS 4.2 prefix will be removed from our IPS Support forum.
We will, of course, continue providing support for IPS 4.3 for the foreseeable future.
Will I still be able to download 4.2 files? Yes. We will only be moving the IPS 4.2 category beneath our Legacy Software category.
Can I still get support for my 4.2 installation after March 15th? At the moment, no. We are considering opening a new peer-to-peer support sub-forum for legacy versions of IPS (similar to 3.4.x) but we don't have an ETA for that.
What happens if I want to upgrade to 4.3 or later after March 15th? Any effort to upgrade to a newer version of IPS will still be supported here. You'll just need to use the prefix for 4.3 or 4.4, depending upon the version you're upgrading to.
What if I don't want to upgrade to IPS 4.3 or later? That's unfortunate but given the tremendous number of changes with the newer versions of IPS, we cannot possibly provide adequate support for legacy software. We're not going to assist you with fixing bugs that have been fixed in later versions or customize your website for you because you're clinging to an application or plugin that is no longer supported.
