    Why doesn't GR upgrade to the latest IPB?

    It is secure and way better!

    because it's less compatible, takes a lot of time and costs money.

    besides they might when they transition to the next version of the site.

    I see it as useless downtime. While it's more secure, it's not as though a large change has occurred. We're running 2.3.1, and the latest is 2.3.5. There isn't much reason so, since many files changed have occurred (I'm assuming) and that means file changes would have to be re-made for the modifications.

    True, there are hardly any major security updates so it's rather pointless to upgrade for that.
    When 2.4 comes out, that would be worth it.

    Well. Sometimes the site is down in FireFox. Maybe that is the fix in 2.3.5?

    And if you then rerty with firefox, it works there as well. I've experienced it myself.
    If it starts working again in one browser, it does so in all.

    And back on topic now please. And an issue such as this can't even be resolved with an ipb upgrade ;).

    I agree with SP. Nothing major in 2.3.5. Will only be worth getting come 2.4, and again, it is a Server issue XD Not an IPB issue.
