Invision Power has now just released their latest Beta for IPB 3.0.0.

To download go to the client area on IPS’s website. Unfortanetly there is no details of the fixed bug in the post but you can find it through the bug tracker.

Remember this is only a beta of the software and you shouldn’t run this on your main (live) board.

Mseo may be discontinued and the tag tool may be split out

Following some recent news on IPB’s website I have decided that I may stop MinervaSEO as there is no point to compete against an already packed SEO system for IPB which works much better than Mseo.

What I am going to do is develop and separate the tag tool and maybe the meta editor. This may take a while, maybe a few weeks.

I will also try to create a conversion tool so that you don’t lose your URL’s page rank.

Sorry I have been inactive lately but there have been dealing with things that screwed my life over. I have lost my job, I am having problems with Home Office regarding my Visa, my mum is sick, my dad is depressed, I lost the only and good relationship I ever had and all because of the problem with my Visa and my solicitor.

According to some new solicitors it wasn’t suppose to be like that, I was suppose to get my citizenship in the UK but because the form was filled in a certain way and the solicitor that dealt with the appeal didn’t do well, my life has changed dramatically to the worst. I’m just barely hanging there.

I am sorry if I wasn’t able to do much since last year but I have been trying to deal with this and a lot with my life since April last year. My site is pretty much inactive and I have been blogging my anger and feelings on a free WP site. But I think I’ll merge it to this one in time and carry on posting here.
