IP.Board 3.1.4 Compatibility Patch for Internet Explorer 9

IP.Board 3.1.4 JavaScript Patch for Internet Explorer 9 Compatibility

With the recent release of Internet Explorer 9, JavaScript compatibility issues have been reported with IP.Board 3.1. These issues stem from the fact that IP.Board utilizes Prototype, a popular JavaScript library, and the latest stable release of Prototype at the time of 3.1.4's release was version 1.6. Prototype version 1.7 has since been released to include compatibility with Internet Explorer 9.

Today we are releasing a patch for IP.Board 3.1.4 that includes the updated Prototype library (version 1.7) so that our clients may update their communities immediately. While IE9 is still new, adoption of the latest release of this popular browser is expected to grow quickly, and we want to ensure that our software works in as many commonly-used browsers as possible.

To patch your community manually, follow these simple steps:

• Upload the contents of this zip file to your server, preserving directory structure (the /public folder should overwrite the /public folder on your server where IP.Board is located)

• Be aware that as this patch only involves updating a single JavaScript file, you and your users may need to clear your browser cache for the changes to take effect.
