It has been a while since I used phpBB (maybe 5 years or so). I've used premium forum scripts meanwhile, but those cost too much and I am thinking about starting a new forum with phpBB 3.2, and I want to know:
- does the latest version have notifications and what type are they (are they comparable to XenForo's/IPS/Woltlab's)?
- how is the support here on the phpBB community in case I run into issues?
- are there any developers around that I can hire to code custom modifications for me?
- There are notifications, and they are good BUT they don't have a mention feature. However, you can download a free extension for that.
- I think the support is great, for the regular stuff
- Yes , but you cannot hire directly from the forums.
