Here's an example if you haven't seen what IPB 3.2 looks like: IPB 3.1 = (this board) IPB 3.2.2 = http://eathena.sourceforge.net/ipb322/ I didn't like 3.2.2 because it felt a little sluggish - Live Search in the ACP loads slower.. XD - click Sign In -> AJAX window and Chrome doesn't autocomplete the fields (not sure about other browsers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to date, unless it breaks... Often times, you may see a tad bit of performance issue when it comes to increased security, but I'm sure we all understand that it's always a toss up..

And nowadays this is something that shouldnt be left aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, the skin sucks, but we can get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for player view, I don't feel like it's organized properly either.. =/ As for 3.1, I like how the ACP is set up, more organized, and so is the Player View.

When I was testing to see if SourceForge's project web hosting could support IPB, I installed both 3.1 (this forum) and 3.2.2 (here). Both work on SF's hosting, but I came to the same conclusions you did and I prefer 3.1 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just BE Postively sure that whatever leaks 3.2 fixed, aren't documented anywhere as far as "how to bypass" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
