Updated the forum to the latest version of phpBB.

The major new feature is the ability to attach stuff to your posts, lemme know if there's a file type you're trying to upload that doesn't work. Right now it should support zip, shp and sb4 uploads.

Also, links are probably broken, despite the move. To get the working again, just change the "phpBB2" in the link to "phpBB3".

So if you had a link to a forum topic that looked like this:
http://www.wyrdysm.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1

Just change it so it looks like this:
viewtopic.php?t=1

And it should work.

Okay, I got URL redirection working so the links should automatically correct themselves. All of your bookmarks on the forums should also automatically redirect.

Whoa, thats really cool, thanks man! Wonder what the new features and improvements are.

Although i must admit i got used to the old layout/theme, theres a bit... too much going on now, and less readable. Seeing this made me go 'WTF'.

In other news, check your pms you silly bugger, i need to talk with you.

EDIT: Why is this in Custom Ships? And ooh, i can disable signatures!

Snazzy stuff, all for the better I think. I can see file attachments being particularly useful.

AWESOME

More color variations.

Nice! Looks shiiiiny.

File attachments... nice. That is going to make things a hole lot easier.

Pfff, you could always use hex colour codes for posting. I abused the hell out of it when writing metagame battle reports.

Active Topics button. YESSSS.

It seems to automatically change from "phpBB2" to "phpBB3" for me.

And is there any way to allow links to open windows in a new tab automatically?

Middle click? I don't want it to open every link in a new tab, that would be retarded, especially when I can do that if I wanted to already just by middle-clicking.

This is lovely, especially the attachments. Could perhaps the time setting on topics displayed be set to 1 month as the default? So much thread necromancy could be prevented.

Oh, and LactoseTolerant, I think you can change your browser settings to do that.

That may prevent thread necromancy, but it makes looking for old stuff much harder.
Better off just periodically moving the older stuff into the archives sections that already exist.

I'm only suggesting it as the default, so anyone who has actually been here long enough to understand how the forums work could just change the setting, but it seems like every other necro is some noob who tried to read the entire forum and then replied without even looking at the dates. This would stop them from accidentally necro-ing and hopefully discourage it in others who don't notice the default setting.

If auto-prune allowed for auto-lock I'd rather use that for the reasons Droid mentioned... maybe there's a plugin or a script/hack/mod/whatever for it that could change it.

New BB codes!
