What do you think of Ipbfree?

[Zenith]

I think Ipbfree is an decent host. A little slow on support but decent.

That's the problem with free forum hosts. You can't fix anything yourself and you have to rely on your forum host to do everything. Many won't even let you back up your database, even for money.

Re: Hmm. Ipbfree support

Meh ipbfree has went downhill if you ask me. Heck they don't even use their own free forum for their support forum :/.

Plus the great 2.2 release has been in production for how long?

I suggest converting to a different host or software.

I think anyone wanting to use IPB should buy the most recent version. Not use some outdated version of it (IPB 1.3) that is like 8 years old.

That's the thing, not everyone who wants it can afford it 😉

I wonder if you can get a backup from IPB free and convert it to the newest IPB..

 

[Zenith]

Yes, with crawler convertors.

I converted to mybb but it didnt get all my forum data.

I'll take ProPHPBB any day. AS that is the host I'm with. I used IPBfree once long ago, but it was just too hard for me to work with. As if adding forums weren't hard enough, when it came time to doing the skin, it didn't come out to even close as to how I wanted it. I did have this vision in my mind as to how I wanted it at the time, but it didn't turn out as I visualized, and then when I went back to try to edit it, I couldn't remember what I did in the first place! lol. That host is not good for someone who has a poor memory, like I do.
