Board upgrade...?

[Spaz]

Looking back, it's been a little over three years since the domain was changed and the phpBB version was upgraded. Based on what I'm seeing here: https://www.phpbb.com/about/launch/ . I'm wondering if any future upgrades are being planned...?

I think particularly the updated quotes feature could be useful, especially in long running threads. And, of course, the emoji functionality could liven things up.

Just wanted to reiterate this again, since it's been a year, and now there are a healthy amount of maintenance updates as well. https://www.phpbb.com/about/launch/


EmojiEmoji!

I don't know if i'm the only one but when I log in the forum the pretty black/purple stylish graphics of the site disappear and is replace with the booooring light blues whitish kind of normal phpBB forum graphic style, is that normal ?

You can switch your board style to my FBC-Purplexion style under your board preferences in the user control panel, yours is probably set to prosilver which is why it changes when you login.
