Re: What is "diff engine" ?

Perhaps I misunderstood this "diff engine." So let me ask this question: How will updates be handled in Olympus? Will we still have to download, unpack, disable our boards, run the upgrade script, re-enable our board, etc? Or can there be a more automated way to "check for updates&quo...

For those of us who don't mod, an easier update process would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Custom profile fields

I do like the idea when a user logs in of checking the phpbb3 db for missing required fields and then doing redirection to the users' [Profile]. That's what I was thinking, too. There should be a routine check of all "required" fields upon login. That automatically solves this problem. :)

Custom profile fields

When the time comes to switch to Olympus I will be adding a custom profile field for real name. This field will be required for all users.

My question: When I upgrade from phpBB 2.0.20 to Olympus will there be a provision to require previously existing users to complete the new field?

Thanks.

I think you just said the opposite of what you meant. That's a double negative. :)

Your statement equates to: "It's creepy if it's finished."

I installed CVS 2.1.2

Yesterday I installed phpBB 2.1.2 on one of my test domains. All I can say is, "Wow." :) Installation was way cool. Loved it. I have played with a bunch of the new features and love them, too. I can't wait to get them on my production site. Some of these are badly needed to make my life ea...

PHP upgrading

My installed version of PHP is apparently too old to meet the Olympus requirement of >= 4.3.3. So while waiting for the beta I thought I'd work on prepping my server. My question: Tech support tells me that 4.3.3 itself is rather old, too. They also strongly suggested not going to PHP5. They said th...

Re: New CAPTCHA

Hey, my first post in area51. Look at all the pretty colors. :) First thought - I am so excited to see this thread. I have been following it for days. The captcha prototypes are very exciting. I've said this before - I currently run about 8 phpBB sites and I'm getting hammered with spam registration...
