damn i cant wait

Me too buddy

Thanks for this info.

Hopefully new mods would be added sooner or later.....

More stuff is definitely supposed to be coming up in phalanx but just for this update that's all coming up.

I think the main reason for this update was ad removal and domain manager mainly but I guess a couple little tit bits were requested and that was added in as well.

Wait a sec, what's phanlax? I haven't had much time to read through updates.

It's basically the planned update for iPBFREE. A great update that has alot of features to it. Scheduled to drop in June so we have time to just relax XD.

Streek, you should add some of your pwnage skins now to test the skin chooser

Someone made a tutorial in the iPBFREE forums. Here you go: http://ipbfree.com/home/forums/showpost.ph...990&postcount=3

It works great on my forums, did you try cleaning cache

Yup. Still no go.

I'm new but I like to say this is awesome!

Ya, I liked the updates

Too bad we didn't get all those cool mods they had in mind though

You mean the patch that includes Download system?
No,not yet.

When are they installing it?

Isn't this old now?

o.o When is this being done?

They've already installed it. A couple of the features are disabled because of bug testing but the rest is working fine I believe.

Ah, ic
