Re: What is the Future of phpBB?

In a way, I agree with david63. I used to be more active when it comes to phpBB around the versions 2 & 3 of it, until work came in between. Nevertheless, I drop in on a regular basis to keep track of what is going on and compared to the past it seems to have slowed down, at least visually for t...

Re: GPDR Compliance

but phpbb vanilla stores the ips of users in the database when posting comments, is that not contrary to GPDR? No because GDPR allows the storage of personal data for the "normal operation of a site". There is some contention around whether an IP address is personal data anyway. Personal ...

Re: Does anyone have a style that looks exactly like phpBB1

Re: Is PHPBB Ready For The Big Time....NOT!

Re: CkEditor for The 3.2

Actually there is already a 39 page long discussion about this at Area51 http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic ... 26&t=35703. If I remember correctly, one of the problems is, in getting it to understand custom BBCode.

Re: PHPBB3 not really usable due to german rights

My opinion ---- > ...... Next . Its a german law for german sites . Germany has NOTHING to say about sites that are not based in germany .

Re: EU Cookie Directive

that would mean that any site anywhere in the world that people in the EU could access would have to abide by that EU cookie law. I really doubt that is true. robert Well, yes and no. Yes in the sense that, as far as I am reading on different sites, it means also companies outside the EU have to ab...

Re: EU Cookie Directive

..... Also, my understanding is that if your board is hosted/based in the US that even if it is available in the EU, the EU law does not apply. and vice versa. robert I'm am not sure about this one.

Re: Abandoning Sub silver

Without wanting to sound offensive, but this topic is flogging a dead horse. The decision to remove subsilver is (as Marshalrusty pointed out) nothing new. This has been at length discussed :? . The majority decided to remove it immediately, the developers, however, decided for a step by step phasin...
