Welcome to IkonForums

iF 1.0.0 has arrived

1st January 2008

As a new year arrives the IkonForums team are proud to announce the release of iF 1.0.0 (final). Since publicly going live with IkonForums nearly 15 months ago, iF has undergone much development including public betas and release candidates.

For those who've not tried ikonForums before (and for those who have) we'd like to mention the overhaul to our skinning system, which is now powered by our own 'ISIS' (Intuitive Selective Interoperable Skins). In addition to that, the QuickReply system is now AJAX-enabled, so you never have to refresh to see your post added. Finally, while it may not be noticeable to the average user, we've done some things that will make the server admins out there very happy. A lot of work has been done "under the hood" so to speak, and in many places, the number of queries has been optimized to cut the load by about fifty percent. That means less load on your database server, and a more efficient software product.

So are you ready? iF 1.0.0 is now released. Hop over to the downloads page, grab yourself a copy. If you do encounter any problems visit our community forums and if necessary report any bugs which we've missed.
