Hey Brando-

A few boards I frequent have gone to phpbb3 since it went gold... Any plans like that for TOC?

So far it seems like 3rd party mods like quick reply haven't caught up yet, and the default layout is not that great, IMO. However, there is a save post function that I think is pretty cool, and it will notify you if someone posts while you are composing.

Just wondering what, if any plans you were making for the board. It certainly works fine as is, just curious.

yea...not any time soon my friend.

I've known about it for quite a while, and it's really a completely different forum, not an upgrade.

Probably will continue to mod this one...until it breaks or something... :lol:

Works for me! I didn't know what exactly was all involved in it, but personally, I like this familiar platform a lot better than the new, even if the new one has a couple more bells and whistles.

Well, the new bells and whistles can probably be incorporated into phpbb2...

Now I'm tempted to convert to phpBB3.... :lol:

I'll probably try converting to it on my computer and see what happens...
