Re: What happened to the forum today???

I was thinking that the [ SUBMIT ] button being on the far right is the most likely button to push because dialogue boxes have the [ OK ] button on the far right. -- at least they do in OS X, but I just checked my Windows XP and they do appear on the left. :-\

Re: Subscription to announcements not working

One thing to keep in mind is that if you are subscribed to a forum, you will only receive one notification if there is a new post or reply in that forum until you visit that forum. Likewise, if you are subscribed to a topic, you will only receive one notification on a new reply until you visit the t...

Since converting 1.2+ million posts means that they will have to completely rebuild the search index, it is currently in the process of being built, people will just have to be patient until everything is indexed.

Re: What happened to the forum today???

They all appear fine to me.
View source and see what you find in the content type line:

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
You can also try a different browser.

The board is delivering the content in the correct encoding though.

This is a known "feature" of the prosilver phpBB template used here. I wouldn't call it a bug (but I'm placing those quote marks around "feature" very deliberately ;)), it works as designed. There are simply many considerations involved, no one solution is ideal - for my own boa...

Re: hmme hard to submit in forum

Drafts are exactly that: Post Drafts.
So you can type up a reply or topic, save it if you are interrupted, and submit it later.

You can go to Manage Drafts to view all of your drafts, or simply click [ Load ] on a topic if you want to use a draft for a post or new topic.

Use the font changer icon at the top right of the page to change the font size to your desired size.

Re: What happened to the forum today???

In-fact many features in phpBB 3.0 (hooks system comes to mind) and even inspirations for features in the development of phpBB 3.2 are as a result from dialogue with the Joomla! developers, so in a way, phpBB3 is influenced by Joomla!

Re: What happened to the forum today???

Frankd4, this board is a stand alone board, it is not integrated with the Joomla! side.
If you want to be able to integrate your Joomla! 1.5 installation with phpBB3, you can use Rokbridge.
See the Rokbridge RC3 Release topic for more information. :)

It’s close, but not quite.
Although only a couple of CSS changes will make the default theme look more like this.

One of the biggest things I’ve noticed is the... bigger text. ;)

Forgot to mention again that I watch phpBB since years and deny to set it up. Patching core is not the way to go when somebody wants a stable system.
