May i know if this forum ever will be upgraded? Just a concern as avid reader of this forum as i believe the never version board is way more faster in term of loading and for most of the functions we dont need to rely on additional plugins.

we are constantly testing new versions of IPB, as well as other forum software, but to date, we haven't found any specific feature that really warrants an upgrade.

And no, mobile apps is not a feature we are particularly focusing on at the moment.
