They Say Lightning Doesn't Strike Twice
Greetings,
...but this time it struck one and one-half times. How? On July 30th, I completed the installation of Invision Power Board 1.2 Release Candidate 1 on our brand-new web hosting server. This was after our previous server failed. Now, for about 2 months we've been waiting for IPB 1.2 Release Candidate 2 (Two!) to come out. Anticipated in RC2 were major updates as well as the new portal system, entitled IPDynamic Lite. After waiting about 2 months, guess what came out just hours after I installed RC1? RC2!!! So this morning I took the forums offline for 4 hours (from 5 AM to about 9 AM EDT) and once again installed Invision Power Board from scratch. Fortunately it only took 4 hours, which is record time-- To install, configure, and test the software, do the skinning for our custom Battlestar Galactica theme, and install a half-dozen customizations (aka 'hacks'). It took a lot less time than when I installed RC1 last week because I kept very extensive notes of the installation process and all customizations that I made. So it was a fairly quick process to repeat all the RC1 steps from last week and do the same for RC2. So, the forums are online with the latest full-featured version of Invision Power Board. You can utilize the following two domains to access the forums. I appreciate your patience, and hope you enjoy the new features!
