New Features

Post by manigopal »

Hi Dev. Team,

Could you look into other Forum / bulletin board software in which they have several additional features which can be added to Our PhpBB too which will make it much better.

Thanks for Contributors / Developers / Moderators for your workings.

I would guess that since phpbb is and has been the most popular and most used bulletin board software in the world for some time, that it probably has the features that are needed the most.

yes, some other board software has different features, maybe even some that YOU think are needed, but, most of those other features can be found as extensions for phpbb. that is one of the reasons that phpbb has been so popular, it is not loaded down with a lot of stuff that is not needed for a bulletin board software.

so, whatever it is that you think phpbb needs, do a search in the extensions forums here and see if somebody has already created one for it. If you don't find one the make a request in the extension request forum and see if anyone wants to create one.

luck,
robert

Absolutely nothing will happen with such a vague request.

This forum is for people to request specific additional features they would like or need for their board, described in detail so someone can code it.

Just saying you want the stuff other boards have is rather pointless. Wikipedia says there are nearly 20 bulletin board software packages. No one will make all of the features from all of them.

What one person thinks is essential may be of no use whatsoever to anyone else which is why phpBB (and all of the other ones too) have 'addons' that extend the features as required. Whatever it is you think you need, see if it's in the extension database. If not, make a detailed request and wait to see if someone will make it.
