Development Discussion Board

just exspect all to be re-written for 4.0 Just great - let's upset all extension developers and all style developers just because somebody want to change something. The whole point of extensions was supposed to be that they would be backwards compatible with all future versions until the point wher...

In any redesign of modules (ACP, MCP, UCP) is any consideration being given to how extensions currently use modules or are virtually all extensions going to have to be re-written?

I know some there have questions about how phpbb support GDPR. Will it not be a good idea there stay something in FAQ so they get some general information?

What is wrong with clicking the "Privacy" link at the bottom of the page?
