Forum upgrade
Posted: Sat Dec 29, 2007 12:23 pm
Currently we're under the process of upgrading to phpBB 3. All the posts, accounts, private messages, the wolf emoticons and everything will be transferred, so don't worry about that. If the forum appears to be inactive for sometime, don't be alarmed as it's most likely that we're transferring data to the new forum. When we convert to phpBB 3, it simply copies all the posts from this forum and doesn't make any changes to it. So it's likely that you might not even see the forum being inactive at all (maybe for 5 minutes, however).
The reason for the upgrade is:
Otherwise, we aren't going to replace the current forum quite yet. We'll probably give out a preview first, then we'll move it over.
The reason for the upgrade is:
- More features (as always)
- More security settings
- Faster and more effecient (has caching features that phpBB 2 doesn't)
- Keeping up-to-date
- Hopefully less problems
- Logging, so we (the admins) can keep an eye on what's being done by admins and moderators.
- The modifications we made to this forum are now standard features in phpBB 3.
- And a load more that I feel is unnecessary to continue blabbing about anyway.
Otherwise, we aren't going to replace the current forum quite yet. We'll probably give out a preview first, then we'll move it over.
