yeah, but what does it mean to <i>ME</I> ?
I kid.
I am all for updating, but does this mean we lose all of the current threads/posts etc... ?
IF YES THEN
only update if YOU/FIGHTMASTERS want to.
IF NO THEN
Update if its NOT too much of a pain. If its labor intensive...then don't do it until YOU/FIGHMASTERS want to.
I think its a balance of the costs in regards to losing lots of good information in ratio with how much work it will be for ya'll to implement this.

Any idea if it will help our recent problem with "hit the submit button and it may finish submitting in a couple minutes"? Or is that an issue with the size of the board? As long as it doesn't get slower, this is probably a good idea.

Hmmmmm. I like how the smilies are on the right now. It'll be nice once we have the SF logo instead of phpBB though. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Hell, if I'd known it'd give us killfiles and the ability to hide avatars/sigs/smileys, I'd have been pestering you to install this till you got sick of hearing from me. Nice one!

Re: Upgrade SFBB to PHPBB 3.0?
ok, I'm thinking job well done, JB. Looks like this went relatively smoothly, or you're hiding some behind the scenes drama. Thanks!
Yeah, there'll be some down sides to any upgrade![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Re: Upgrade SFBB to PHPBB 3.0?
There seems to be a little weirdness with Private Messages - Paco sent me a couple and was told they couldn't be sent, so he deleted them, but then I got them, except the message said that the original message had been deleted.
And it seems like I'm getting more email notifications of new messages than I'm getting actual messages.
I haven't been tracking this with my usual obsessiveness, just letting you know that the PM handling may be a little flaky at the moment...
Nonetheless, thanks for doing the upgrade, JB! Hooray, FMs!

Just discovered a cool feature of this new one... I was posting a reply to a thread, but before I had posted, Spud had posted something, so before submitting, it let me read the new post and adjust my post accordingly. This should eliminate a billion "[edit: so-and-so beat me to it]" type posts.

I noticed that. It caught me off guard the first time, but it'll definitely be helpful.Kill Me Sarah wrote:Just discovered a cool feature of this new one...
