ZetaBoards FAQ

If you haven't noticed I've recently converted our old InvisionFree forum to a ZetaBoards forum. The reasons for the change were the many new and improved features for both admins and users offered by ZetaBoards. The conversion has been offered for the last couple years but as we haven't really done anything with this board in the past few years I saw no reason to put the work in.


So here's a little FAQ on ZetaBoards:

What is ZetaBoards?
ZetaBoards is a free forum being developed by the developers of InvisionFree. The main difference between the two is that InvisionFree is based on the architecture of the regular Invision (IPB) forums whereas ZetaBoards was written from scratch allowing the developers more freedom in changes and updates. It's much easier for them to develop new features and security measures for ZetaBoards than InvisionFree. Because of this the number and quality of ZetaBoard's features is greater than that of InvisionFree, though InvisionFree IS still being updated.



What does this mean to me?
Namely more features. There are a number of advantages to ZetaBoards from an admin prospective but there are also a number of great new features that can be used by regular users. I have enabled many of them and if they can be used without being abused they will remain enabled. Examples of new features that will absolutely be removed if they are abused are the ability to embed flash videos with the [flash][/flash] tags and the shoutbox.



I liked InvisionFree better
Too bad, the conversion isn't reversable.



Is the change complete?
As of yet, no. I haven't finished applying the temporary theme and I've hardly even begun going through the Admin CP to check out a lot of the new features and tweak settings. It won't take a lot of time to get the forum ready for the release of Diablo 3 but as I'm busy with life I don't have 4-5 hours to work on it right now. Rest assured it will be ready long before the game is release.



What else will be changing?
In the months (hopefully) leading up to the release of Diablo 3 I'm going to reorganize and streamline the forum as I see fit. I found a temporary theme to replace the default and will work on either finding or creating a permanent theme. If anyone is interested in helping with that let me know but I'll say more on that later.
