DZComposer Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I now have my hands on an early build of IPB 4. There are some significant UI changes that you should be aware of that are coming.- No more BBCode Editing - Although basic BBCode will parse, if you edit your post you cannot edit the BBCode. BBCode seems to be dead. Many other forum software packages are also killing it. Post formatting will be done vie CKEditor only. Thankfully, though, full CKEditor plugin support is promised (though broken in the build I have).- Spoilers cannot be collapsed after expanding - Spoiler is for spoilers only now, not for collapsing text.- Acronyms can be defined in the system. For defined acronyms, hovering over them will show the definition in a tooltip.- Custom Profile Header Images- Member ranks based on reputation ("likes") rather than postcountMore to come as I play with the software.

I will get over it - Member ranks based on reputation ("likes") rather than postcount This sounds hellish. I can get with it (but still hate it) as a side feature. But as the primary? Just. Ew. Not that I think rep rank is inherently bad, I just can't picture it working here. - Acronyms can be defined in the system. For defined acronyms, hovering over them will show the definition in a tooltip. Is neat and all. Have no Idea what we'd use it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Is neat and all.

DZComposer Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 If any of you want to play around with IPB 4, they have a public test site up here:http://zend.ipsdevserver.com/ips4Spoilers not being re-collapsible has been changed. They now are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 The new version of IP.Content (the part that powers the "site" part of the site) has a "wiki" mode that will allow users to edit pages. This would be immensely helpful for the CCI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
