Howdy,

Would it be possible for you to add a RSS feed to the phpbb forums?

http://www.phpbb.com/search/?q=rss

Kind regards,

Matt

It was like that when I found it, honest!

I second this.
Also
- Allow [color] inside

Code: Select all

 tags
- "Are you human" and other captchas for registering so we don't get spammed to death. I've had to delete 5 spambots with 10 posts each today already. Thats not easily done with this shitty forum

Perhaps best is... Go back to SMF :)

Unfortunately no matter what you put in place, you'll still get spammers in :(

I disagree on both counts.

On the old SMF forums we had 1 spam stoppper... they got through it.
Then we added another... less but still some got through
Then we added a third... the spambots stopped

Plus adding those spam stoppers was as easy as "click here to install"
phpbb requires manual modding and nothing will ever get added that way

Plus smf has javascript popups for confirmations instead of page loads, making things 10x faster.

SMF is no pants... its all skirt!

I hate SMF!

Everything you want you need to add manualy and run into isues, above that it still get flodded with spammers.
Now I run on the latest version of phpBB, man what a brise....

manually add? you mean for template changes... well i will admit its not the smoothest template engine... but i dont muck with that much... but for package installer and speedier actions alone its the best forum out there.

phpbb let the world down with the 4 year update to 3.0 after sitting at 2.2 forever... they had the lead but dropped the ball.
