I don't think the full IPB admin CP is that much more complicated. Sure, it looks scary at first (*all teh buttons! :ph34r:*), but if you look closely, it's just the IF CP with a few more features. |

I don't think IPB is all that hard. Just takes a little time to find everything. |

It's actually pretty hilarious. We've had some people open tickets "OMG I WANT TEH IPB GIMMIE CONVERSION NOW NOW NOW" and then a few weeks later, they are asking to come BACK to InvisionFree, rofl! It's usually because of the skinning system IPB has. |

For me, IPB ACP isn't all that hard really, if you now how to use the IF ACP then you have a basic starter for using the IPB one. However it looks awful, the huge list is just ugly and not needed :/ It looks even worse if you click all the + buttons :blink: :X Tis why I like the ACP on IF so much: not so many buttons, easy to get around and you can't get lost  And jah, the skinning system is terrible imo >_< |

Hmm, didn't think so many people would hate the IPB skinning system :blink: I actually like it- a little confusing at first, but I love it now. It keeps it nice and organised into different sections for CSS and HTML templates, and each HTML template is broken into seperate bits to edit. I really like how they do the HTML templates from the Admin CP aswell, makes it really easy to edit  Heh. And yeah I agree that there's too many options, at least in IPB 2.0 they've made some effort of organising it a little more (although a lot of options are now hidden in 'View all general settings', which is terrible IMO). But I suppose they can't help it, after all it is a powerful forum software. Meh, if you think IPBs is bad, you should try vBulliten's... that's a nightmare... Even more options than IPBs... |

Isn't IPB down right now? I've never tried it, (the fact that you have to pay) and by the way this thread is going, I think IPB might be confusing. |

http://www.invisionboard.com/ and http://www.invisionpower.com seem fine to me :blink: And if you want to try it out, to see what it's like, you can try the online demo here: http://www.invisionboard.com/?demo Although it seems to be broken right now, maybe you'll have to wait until they reset it, it might fix the problem |

it's not sparkly enough

Those guys can get triple the amount of users now if they made it copy- paste. You can imagine how many time I gave up installing a IPB skin. But it kept me close to IF.

Installing a skin on IPB is not difficult at all. Unless you're not forum or just computer saavy, then it might present as a challenge. All you had to do was upload it, click a few buttons then make it default and bam you're done. |

The skinning system is horrable at first but once you know what to do it's much easier and better. |
