phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

and, some of the biggest and busiest bulletin boards in the world are using phpBB and have been for years. I have heard more negatives about xenforo than positives. granted that has been here on this board. like most things in life, it is in the eye of the beholder. robert Yeah there are some very ...

If you have the money for it, go for Xenforo. I built my last project with it, and it's fantastic to work with. No regrets. Tons of third party addons to chose from as well so you'll be able to customize it for your community pretty easily. Since phpBB is free, it basically has 0 market for large & ...

Hopefully Steve saw the excellent suggestions from eunaumtenhoid

Hope everything is going ok with you Steve, this is a fantastic extension already!

Fair enough. In the meantime we can all enjoy the sneak peak images you are providing =)

While I do not think badges will be default, the way ranks work will be overhauled so that if you chose you can easily do just that. The current plan is for ranks be be handled via the new icon twig function. This means you can leverage any icons or images you want for them. The backend will be cha...

@Hanakin: Will the new style be updating the way ranks are used? Hopefully to get a more modern approach, like badges? =)

(you seemed positive here: viewtopic.php?f=436&t=2437811 )

The prosilver style is just an awful visual experience, and anyone saying otherwise is clearly not looking straight :lol: And that could easily be said of any style, since visual experience is quite individual. Expressing your personal opinion as a general opinion isn't really helpful. I was joking...

Nice snarky attitude. Not like I am demanding anything here from the dev team.. Let me explain. I thought it was allowed to come with suggestions , as to make it easier to see for the public what ideas may be included into the core in the future, and what isn't. If/when possible. It would be very ni...

After that long, I feel like someone should either tag it is as "in progress" or just "invalid" if it is not happening. Feels strange browsing that section by "new", and seeing 7 year old suggestions. I agree. If an idea is not going to be implemented because it is not popular enough, it would be t...

Also I would add that anyone can take an idea and either create it as an extension, if it is suitable, or create a PR for that change - it does not have to rely on it being taken on by the Development Team. The ideas are ideas for what people think should be in phpBB core.. I think most know that y...

I certainly can't speak for the staff but I believe that there was never a guarantee that any idea presented there would automatically be added to the code. rob ert Yeah of course. But you'd at least imagine that popular ideas, that are 5-7 years old with many up-votes, would get a response. Either...

Yes please... Having several badges for users was something that was highly loved by my users on my Xenforo board.

This needs to be higher up on the idea list!!

@Marc

This should definitely be part of the core... A great feature I miss from Xenforo..

Speaking of the Ideas section on the website.. Is that still being used actively by the dev team before a new feature release? And maintained by the mod team?.. I see some excellent suggestions there that are like 7 years old , but with many up-votes. Some of which definitely should have made it int...

The prosilver style is just an awful visual experience, and anyone saying otherwise is clearly not looking straight :lol: phpBB need a new and modern default style, so I am very happy for Hanakin taking this by the horns and providing what looks to be a great theme. It's about time phpBB entered the...
