New Forum software

Hey everyone. I have upgraded the forum software from phpBB2 to phpBB3. The new version contains plenty of new features and improvements, however there are some issues:

1. HTML code will no longer work. Older posts and some of the signatures may look a bit whacky. Please adapt your signatures to use BBCode.

2. The WAP version of the board will no longer be in operation.


I hope you like the new version. Have fun! :duh:

Nice!!! :) I like it.

Will take some time to get used to it.

I run vBulletin 3.5.4 on my Site and the latest is 3.6.x I need to upgrade it, but dreading it since a lot of things will break.

You have a slight glitch. After every post I get.

"Remix64
Remix64
404 - Page not found!
Couldn't locate the page you were looking for.
"

Problem is this:

"http://www.remix64.com/board3/....."

after a users posts a message instead of going to "http://www.remix64.com/board/" Its refering to "/board3/"

Sweet!

Now, when are you going to integrate the remix64.com authentication with the forum! :) You have no excuse now as phpBB3 has lots of nice hooks into it's authentication module :)

I dream of Single Sign-on!

Be careful what you wish for. It may become true. ;)

The plus side: we're staying up to date. :)
As for your sig, try this:

Code: Select all

Wouldn't that be LMan in plural?

Yes, the new forum is looking good. I was a bit worried when I couldn't access it yesterday. I thought that I was either blocked or banned.

@ the LMans:
Signature changing doesn't work funnily enough.
Everytime I submit the changed command line it jumps back to the old one
when revisiting the signature page in the user control panel.

Tried it, got the error message "Your images may only be up to 40 pixels high." Yours is 53px so I guess there's the problem. I'll alter the limits to 468x60px to accomodate standard banners.

Try it now :)
