Invision Power Board 3.0 Announced

April 30, 2008 2 comments

Invision Power Services have announced the development of Invision Power Board 3.0. They promise a new

Features Include

  • Template engine
  • Search engine friendly URLS (I presume /forumname/topicname rather than ?fid=493&tid=98 )
  • New BB Code system
  • More Administrator controls (Picky options i’d image - turning signatures off in specific forums etc..)
  • Reputation System (Finally catching up with vBulletin ;) )
  • Enhanced permission and moderator systems.

They say they are adding more integration tools, so you can integrate it with your existing website, or adleast provide some easier integration tools; it will also have tighter integration with other IPS products such as the blog, gallery.

Its interesting to see that they are dropping support for Oracle. They boast about having so many big business clients, i’d presume they all run Oracle, and yet are dropping support for it. Mayby they are turning back into a community board rather than a business board?

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on that.
