review.....

I just left a review on Trustpilot, after reading this thread

Let us know what you think - review us on Trustpilot

All I can say is i'm converted and wont be staying with IPS anymore, had 4 licenses, sold 1 domain (community), 3 left, shut 1, converted 1 already to try, love XF and will convert the other before the years out.....

I do love the IPS suite however they have many things that are just plain wrong

Pages and Commerce are never updated, there latest focus is on sweatshirts and a shopify shop go figure ! They have a commerce app in there suite and its so bad they pay for a shopify shop rather than using their own commerce application......

There cloud totally sucks (I was there for a while so this is from experience) - so much so if you complain about their cloud on there forums it gets deleted and you get a PM

I came from vB to IPS many many years ago and at that time IPS rocked, its going the same way vB did (told them that and it got deleted )

And by far the best thing is the price - IPS has risen so much its no longer cost effective for smaller forums with low income $850 to buy the suite - go figure.....

Anyways XF is in my opinion really nice - now I have (almost) got used to it and my users love it......

And the support here is really good and knowledgeable - @Brogan needs a pay rise - he's a one man support machine.....

And the PixelEdit themes are awesome as well.....

Thank you for the feedback and kind words.

Glad to hear that XF is working out for you.

Just bought another XF license and migrating an IPS forum over, then no more IPS....

The Guild Wars 2 forum uses Invision... I'm not sure what possessed them to go with such a mediocre solution, but it's terrible and I hate it. You can't get a raw view of your typed post. You can't turn off the automatic double-spacing. You can't even turn off the reactions. They're actually charging for this when XF is on the market? lol I would literally rather use SMF than Invision.

We tried IPS on one of our sites and soon found it was more clunky than it seemed on the surface: phpBB > vB3 > IP.Board + extras > Xenforo + Gallery ... never looked back.

This is because they already have their own framework built for running all of their active games (that have a forum) on Invision, which was made prior to GW2 release.

Sony Online Entertainment (now Daybreak) use to use XenForo (their old forums still exist, but are inactive).
