How do you like IPB4?

What do you expect? Of course there will still be bugs, it's not fully released yet! :P

 

From what I've seen of it, I much prefer IPB 3.x however that might be due to knowing my way around it blindfolded. I just don't like the new layout at all on the forum side or admin side. I have to say I was expecting far more features standard on 4.x which doesn't really seem to be the case. To me it looks more like 3.x has had a face lift rather than a major update with more features.

I'm enjoying it, in comparison to 3.x.x it feels much MUCH nicer, definitely tapping into a niche section of the market by making it so hmm, word-presslike? It's lack of applications, plugins and other modifications is slightly disappointing, however given that it's relatively new in it's lifecycle I'm sure it'll pick up to the stage of 3.x.x eventually. Get the experience early!

It seems like I am missing some features I had in IPB3, just for default.

What kind of? For example what I don't like is that the applications are all over the place. They aren't in one place as they were in the IPB 3.x.x. Like they are no longer seen from "Other Apps" (or how they were called don't remember).

"Other Apps" is correct. I know what you mean.

I am missing quick features. Just for example; reset board statistics or automatically merge posts.

 

An improvement is are the standard IPS applications, which are installed already.

Is there somewhere we can see progress on popular hooks/apps, i.e. HQ Awards? I am hoping to upgrade my forum soon but I do not want to lose these hooks as well as themes.

 

Just keep watching the downloads every day. If someone uploads it, you will be able to download it. HQ Awards hasn't been updated yet, so please be patient until a newer version will be released.

Did I give off the vibe that I wasn't being patient? My apologies. I'll keep checking it out!

i uploaded a few ipb 4 plugins a week or so ago, still waiting on them to be approved, probably be too old by then lol

 

Thre are a lot of cool things about ipb 4 but there are also a lot of kinks to be worked out and 4 will likelt have a lot of quick sub edutions, 4.0.5 i think it's at already.

 

pages is nice and offers a lot of customisation to even the novice.
