New Server Move and PHP BB 3!

Postby Monkeyslunch » Sat Feb 21, 2009 2:18 am

Ahoy!

Liking that you updated the code to PHPBB3, also gives everyone a chance to offer redesign suggestions!

Everyone else's thoughts?

Heyhey :)

I'll be poking around the phpBB style sites over the next couple of days... Ideally it would be nice to lightly modify an existing design rather than create one from scratch. I will probably install/mod a couple so folks can pick and choose.

It's been a while since I looked heavily in to to phpBB stuff... what design choices related to it pique your interest?

Its just much more stable, there's away more features installed from the get go, from an admin POV its way easier to moderate and administrate things, its just nicer overall. In my opinion anyways.

Flo,

looks great so far, everything seems to have made it over. Thanks for taking care of that!

Some phpbb code seems to have dropped out, such as the url on the first post on this page:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=668
But a lot of stuff is so old, it might not matter anyway.

Here are some more red interfaces if you are still auditioning themes.

Hmm... I'm not sure if its a cookie problem with the old PHP version of the forum or what, but I've been having trouble staying logged in. If I leave the site and come back I have to log in again, despite having checked the keep me logged in button.

Yeah, I was experiencing that too.

I have since made a tweak to the domain the cookies refer to - I was able to close the tab and view the forum on a new tab without having to log in again after making this change.

Cool! I will download, install and tinker :D

As for the URL code, i have a feeling it had to do with the converter itself. The links and posts may be old, but it would be nice to fix the links nonetheless. I'll look in to it on the phpBB help forums. Thanks for the heads up!

Cool New Look. It doesnt look to
comic or Art based, but red is Canadian, and its a definite improvment.

Looks Great. Ill pass the word, and maybe help get alittle more traffic flowing through here.
All the best everyone

I will probably post a poll within the week once I have all of the proposed themes installed so we can pick and choose maybe the top 2 or 3. Customization will probably happen soon after.
