How far in the future will V3.3.X run under PHP 7.3 - 7.4 until it has to become compatible with PHP 8, or will that be a new version eg 3.4.x completely?

Thank you BeBop
Most probably php 7.3 and 7.4 will be ok for phpBB3.3.x. Currently there is support for php 8.0.x but there are still glitches in phpBB 3.3.x with php 8 and these will be tackled within the 3.3.x series when they are identified.

On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Thank you for the information Warmweer, could you give me a time forecast for phpBB board v 3.3.X continuing to run under PHP 7.3 and 7.4. Say for example until December 2022. We are currently running 3.3.1 under PHP 7.3.28.

I would expect all 3.3.x releases to continue functioning with php 7.3 and 7.4.
It's not because a php version is EOL that everyone stops using it or that hosts stop making it available.
phphBB 3.4 (or 4.0 if 3.4 is bypassed) may (or may not) require php 8.

As long as PHP 7.4 is supported, keep using it. Wait until "Active Support" or "Security Support" ends for it then switch to PHP 8.0. That will give time for phpBB developers time to find any remaining incompatibilities and fix them.

I went to your board and looked for an hour or so, but did not see the women without underwear.
