Who's hating... I have said numberous times that 3.2 is a good looking version and that they will do well with it, I even called it the "vB Killer" .... even if I do think that some of the features are wayyyyyyyy too close in design or functionality to XF, and I would have liked to see some genuine originality in both the design and the new functionality.
I think IPB is great software, it is no longer my #1 choice, but I have no problem with it, or anyone who uses it.
LOL and there in lies the problem, like many IPB features it is overly technical, geekoid and counter intuitive .... it doesn't work for me sorry, I don't like it, never did. The XF one is so very well done in it's design and functionality, I as a user don't have to fart arse around in my CP to adjust the board's overly zealous notification system, it just intuitively knows that I only want notifications for "these" things.. and that once I look at the notifications, I don't need to click to see them all to "clear the list... The IPB one always annoyed the bejebus out of me. Two clicks in stead of one.. things like that are endemic throughout IPB, it might sound stupid to some one who loves it, but I don't like that aspect of IPB... they have always made things harder/more hidden/more complicated than they should.
