phpBB upgrade....

Post by ZiggyZoomba »

phpBB is releasing version 3 here in a day or so... I plan on running it alongside the current setup as a test before doing any kind of full-bore upgrade... just wanted to let everyone know there will be some downtime (maybe over Christmas time??) during the upgrade.

For a comparison of the feature-sets between phpBB2 and phpBB3, check out the following link:

Questions, comments, concerns???

If it ain't broke, don't fix it??? Just kidding...I'm sure there are some bugs you're trying to get out.

Geek-a-rrific!

We're looking at a pHp-based CMS (based on the Typo3 open source platform).

"Testes, Testes. One, two, uh-huh-huh ... three?"

Test looks good from Philly.

Will the colors of the page be different from the test page? I assume they will be Orange and Brown?

It's going to be a radical overhaul... I was thinking Scarlet and Grey or Maize and Blue.... maybe Midnight Blue and Gold....
