I will change the theme once I upgrade the forums to v3.

As for the reputation mod, I m sick of getting outside modules who do not give any support. And each time the forum version changes, the reputation system is lost. I m planning to code a general "thank you" system. Members can thank each other leaving a personal note. And there will be a page for each member showing the no. of thanks he received along with Post information, Date and Name of the person thanking.

And when are you going to upgrade into IPB 3.0 ? Its been there for years now! There are wonderful tutorials on the net telling how to upgrade to V3! I hope you can upgrade it within the next few WEEKS! You can do the thank you system later, after we upgrade.

Why upgrade from IPB 2.3.5 to 3.0.x?

3.0 is a complete rewrite with a new ACP, better skinning system, better mod system, more Web 2.0 features (i.e. AJAX all over, especially in the ACP), and other minor improvements in almost every area. 2.3.5 has security bugs.

That sound's good we are finally going to be upgrading though I bet with this there will be a ton of down time but who cares if the outcome is better. I wouldn't mind IPB 3 deafult theme it was very clean and has a good feel though again as an admin you should listen to your forum members to make it better (Giving us an option of themes) not just stuck in the same boring one. By the way a reputation system is pre built into IPB 3 if you would care to use it, but as you said if you want to code something then do its just a lot more time wasting.

Anyway I hope you can make some forum announcements on the upgrading from 2.3.x to 3! ;)

I think it's very good that you told us your plans, and the thanks system would be great! I think a thanks count would matter alot in showing how good of quality a member's posts are, just be careful, if you havn't done it already.. coding the myCENT system to work with IPB3 will take alot of work.

I can't wait for the upgrade it will be so much better than this and have a good look 'n feel please do this ASAP ;) really there is no need for a new theme if we are going to IPB 3.0.X as the standard theme rocks!

So we're discussing this same topic yet again?! More myCENTs for me ;)

I remember someone on this very forum commenting that IPB V3 is too buggy? I'm too lazy to find that thread now so I can't gather much details, but I remember the replies to that thread supporting the view that IPB v3 isn't ready for our forum, at least not yet. I don't know how far this is true as I haven't much G.K. about the differences between the old and new versions, but it would be a good idea to keep the stability factor in mind when upgrading to the newer version. For a forum as big as T17/KS, it's much too risky to just take chances...
