Hi Cristianita,
That's a fair enough question.
Icy Phoenix has more or less gone to being just a hobby for MG since Social Media has come into the game and with that forum software virtually just died, and this place is no exception
Douche plain-pied. The current version is the last and there won't be any more development done with it.
As for help around here - It's very scarce as MG spends very little time here and Informpro is much the same - And they are about the ONLY two that really know anything about IP.
As for myself - I just hang around the place and help where I can and remove the spammers, but I stopped coding and looking at/playing with forums some years ago and these days I struggle to know where anything is any more - So I couldn't really be counted on if it's a difficult one to solve.
As you say you would need a lot of help - I really would recommend you switch to something else like phpBB3 where at least they do have active support and on-going development.
