Didn't we already establish that 3.1 does not work with PHP 7? Perhaps you made a mistake in your post since this topic is about 3.2, not 3.1... Exactly that's why it is urgent to finish 3.2 !

Does anybody know when 3.2 final will be released ?
I'm waiting for it to be able to change my hosting to PHP7

Hi, it would by good to give in futur versions of phpBB to give the possibility to create natively SEO URLs. We are in the 21h century and nearly no CMS uses stil such "technical" URLs as phpBB. I'm using since years third third party MOD's and since 3.1 extension. But it seems to be harde...
