It is a bug in ideas which has already been fixed, but we currently experience trouble updating some parts of the website and due to that we can't update idea's to the newest version. Hopefully fixed this week.

What is NRG?
I've searched on phpBB , Google and Wikipedia but can't find anything remotely relevant (expect by name perhaps National Routeing Guide,but that turns out to be a document defining the validity of UK rail tickets, so again no hit ;) )

Is there any way to browse the Ideas centre as regular topics? Or at least the viewforum part?

I'd like to see a list of all open ideas (unfiltered) simply sorted by the latest reply. I now see (for example) a reply to SEO Urls idea in the board index but when I open up the ideas centre itself it's hard to even find that topic/idea.

You mean like going to ideas and clicking the "All open ideas" button?

No, that simply shows a list sorted by starting date, not reply date.

No chance, even viewforum.php?f=436&sk=t&sd=d redirects to the forced idea listing despite not supporting the wanted sortkey. I guess whoever implemented it wanted to avoid questions and answers like "why don't I see likes and unlikes?" - "because you're listing it as a forum, not as ideas".

The [3.2.x] Support Forum is missing two sections that the [3.1.x] Support Forum has:
Screen Shot 2018-04-04 at 23.47.40.jpg
I wrote a support topic about having problems getting a custom BBCode (that worked in 3.0.x) to work with 3.2.x and got confused when a moderator moved the topic to a 3.1 subforum. There are several other people who have been confused by also having their topics moved into a 3.1 subforum.

Please would you do something to make this less confusing. (Maybe having a 3.2 forum or at the very least renaming the subforum to call it something like "[3.2.x] and [3.1.x] Custom BBCode Development and Requests".)

I made a request for it to be moved to a more logical location.

Why can't we use @protonmail.com domain for email? I tried to change mine and it wouldn't let me do it.

Try it now. Awhile back a flood of spammers signed up using it. I banned it to stop that barrage.

This has been resolved now by putting the BBCode forum into the main Support Forums category. Thanks for making us aware of this! :)

Thanks Mick and JimA.

I found another thing that looks like it could do with a bit of improvement.

I was looking in the Customisation Database at the Styles section (for some styles that work with 3.2. I noticed that there are some styles there that appear to only work with 3.0 (for example World of Warcraft: Alliance, Serenity or Hestia).

I'm wondering if those styles are now depricated and could be moved somewhere else.

Or if, maybe people could search specifically for styles designed for 3.1 or 3.2 and find only the styles that will work for the version of phpBB they have. (The same sort of thing could apply to the other things in the Customisation Database.
