Forum Upgrade
I've upgraded the forum phpBB 2.x to the newest pbpBB 3.x version (the old forum software was over 10 years old!).
It is a bit unfamiliar yet, and I haven't tweaked many settings. Still checking if everything works. I have a backup of the old forum and the database on sourceforge (I haven't removed any of the old stuff until I can confirm this one works).
Enjoy!

Re: Forum Upgrade
Unfamiliar indeed. I need to get used to it, but I also feel like I could like it once I did...
I guess it will be kinda nice once spoiler tags work.

Re: Forum Upgrade
/me is not pleased.
Any chance you'll implement a few extra skins so that we can choose our look for ourselves? I think I've seen other forums with this layout that had that feature.
Also, wtf? Google and Yahoo bots? Not in my interblag.

Re: Forum Upgrade
Yes there are various skins/templates that can be used. With phpBB3 it should be very easy to add more of these.
The reason for the upgrade was that phpBB2 finally broke. It gave various warnings and errors when people posted or sent PMs.

Re: Forum Upgrade
Yep, I had those as well, but it didn't really bother me. The messages were still posted/sent, it just didn't redirect properly, so the job was done in my book.
Ah yes, that reminds me, our spoiler, edit, etc tags seem to be broken, and it's kind of hard to play our PnPs without them. Please fix.
Edit: Ooh, I like this one now.

Re: Forum Upgrade
There much better
Now I just need to figure out how mods work in phpBB3 (should also be easy )
(if anyone liked the other style, it can still be selected in the profile page btw. I could also add others, but I dont think we need any other)
Test spoiler tags:
TYPE 1 TYPE 2

Re: Forum Upgrade
Type 2 looks great, it fits better than the one we used before, even.

Give us Quick reply and turn on avatars, or I will kill one hostage every hour.

I died when I came here today... I mean, almost died. Wouldn't be typing this if I actually did die. But... this is... scary. Really. I'll probably never get used to this, but well.

Re: Forum Upgrade
There seems to be a problem with some of the ranks though. I can't see woodmouse or AoD's rank.
Edit: Fixed.

Re: Forum Upgrade
Is that bad? I think there is a setting somewhere for that.

Well, they become blurry/pixelated, and people can't decide what size they want them to be.Zefz wrote:Is that bad? I think there is a setting somewhere for that.
