PHPBB 3.1 To Upgrade Or Not To Upgrade, That Is The ?

Unread post by bannination »

So.... it really depends on how much you guys hate the default theme in phpbb.

So, they totally destroyed all the current themes in the new version, so, stuck with the default theme, which is much the same as the default theme that phpbb has always had.

However, there's some pretty good features yall might like in it: https://www.phpbb.com/about/launch/
Responsive Theme

Our default style, prosilver, has been completely overhauled to ensure a modern experience on all of your devices. Give it a try on a tablet or smart-phone.

Notification System

Easily configure how you prefer to be notified about various events, such as when you are quoted in a post. The new extensible notifications feature lives in the header of every page and provides a centralized place to receive alerts and other information.

OAuth Login

Register and login using your Google, Bit.ly, or Facebook accounts. Extensions can easily add other authentication services.

WTF. Give it a whirl. If it turns out to be as FUBAR as Windows 8, can it be changed back without a ginormous hassle?
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.

Do it. I browse this forum at work on my phone sometimes to kill time. Mobile support would be a plus.

Mr. B was that you who voted no 4 times? Mr. Nokia 7-11 brick drug-dealer phone.
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.

What "No" votes? I'm seeing all "Heck, yeah" or "I don't care."
That's good I think. I'm taking the I don't care votes as "I'm not partial to a theme, but don't care about the new features either." Which is good, cause I really wanted to upgrade :>

Anything other than a heck yeah is a NO. I'm the only one who voted heck yeah. You all need to get with the program.
