It has been a while since I have watched phpBB development, can you point me to a feature list for 3.1 and the future?

Community hasn't changed. Many people always wanted integrated CMS, some coders have created solutions for them such as phpNuke, phpBBFM, phpBB Plus, Icy Phoenix, etc. phpBB is forum software and will probably always stay only forum software. Trying to be everything is never a good idea. Just look ...

OK, I spent some time this morning searching around the site and haven't found a clear answer to a question I have, so I hope no one minds this one. What is the future direction of phpBB? The forum "community" has changed in recent years, and many admins, including myself, are looking for ...

Anyone?

Should I post this on the main site noew that it is back up

like I said I have no idea how the hash works I guess you are saying even if the same password is chosen, they will not come out of the hash the same??

If it hasen't been mentioned before, will there be a way for the admin of a forum to use a pass phrase to assist in the creation of the hash. Is this possible? or am I off in space. I know very little about the hashing procedure. I would think with hundreds of different pass phrases, it would limit ...

Ok, So some questions... a phpBB3 forum that was never a phpBB2 forum will have all its passwords in a salted MD5, right? is this password list venerable? 2nd question, I have a smallish phpBB2 forum that I was in the process of upgrading when this mess happened, how can I protect these passwords?
