Board Update -- PHPBB 3.2

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Board Update -- PHPBB 3.2

Unread post by bannination »

Hey guys, just finished updating us to PHPBB 3.2 -- this was a pretty large update, but everything seems to be fine. I'll be tweaking some of the more customized stuff to get us back to fully normal like the header/banner.

As far a user features, you'll probably notice nicer icons, but that's about it.

2 new features I like:
A quoted post automatically includes the date it was posted, no more adding it in if I think it's relevant.
The arrow, "↑", beside "Vrede too (or whoever) wrote:" takes you to the original post in case you want to check out the context.

Wed Dec 31, 1969 7:00 pm is as far back as I can make it go. Thank you for coming from the future to share your technology and wisdom.


On the Topics pages all of our names have an arrow beside them pointing up and to the right. Why doesn't "by k9nanny" get a female sign and "by (bi?) homerbobe" get a question mark? It is a little handy that it takes you to the last post, though going to the last page and scrolling is hardly a burden.

"user_id=69" is openly gay, of course.

"user_id=96" is flaming closeted gay, nttawwt.

One other change I've noticed is that Notifications no longer light up on the page or appear on the tab when the window is idle. Not that it matters, they do appear when the page is refreshed or any other action is taken. Just thought I'd mention it.

Yeah, they made some significant changes in the css/html. That was as clean as I could get it on short notice. Then I'm just lazy. it's on my todo list. Boy do I wish we could get rid of Trump. :lol:

There's an old Adlai Stevenson line about Republicans: "...they remind me of a very tired rich man who said to his chauffeur: "Drive off that cliff, James, I want to commit suicide."

It's not as funny any more.

Trumps head should be shrunk back down now, to match his tiny hands. :lol:

Tiny flapping hands would be a nice addition.
