anyone else annoyed by infopop? - 01/07/2002 7:40 PM
mebbe its just me.
i've had my UBB license for almost 1.5 years now, and i gotta say, im getting kind of annoyed.
the consistant upgrades of the boards are driving me nuts!! sure, its actually a good thing -- great bidniz practice by infopop to continually strive to distribute a better product... but for hackers / modders / and the purpose of this board, its horrifying!!
i used to visit ubbdev.com all the time, and now... i dont have much to do here anymore
it seems like 5.45 was out forever, with tons of hacks and add-ons and abilities and features... then, one day, everything stopped, in preperation for v6 to be released. so, i upgraded, but found there was little support (here). .... then, after a few hacks were released, people stopped, again, to wait for 6.1. then that came out and people had to remake / reinstall / resupport hacks.
this happened again for 6.1.0.1 and .2 and .3... now its happening for version 6.2 (etc).
i know didly about cgi code and templates and all that, so i cant really hack anything by my lonesome. so, im constantly waiting for a new version of (insert hack name here) to come out, so i can finish off my boards. ... but, it seems like over the past year or so, i havent been able to catch my breath with all the infopop upgrades.
i used to love to customize the look and feel of my boards (as a site designer, thats my joy). but now... i don think i've even created a header graphic in the past few months, for fear ill have to redo it again after the new hacks are released.
again, i know its not like infopop is doing anything bad (its actually quite the contrary!) but i find myself coming to these boards less and less because i know there'll be less and less use for it (for me) because of all these upgrades -- something i find very frustrating.
anyone else bothered by this?
