Development Discussion Board

You should be asking this a phpbb.com - this is the development board.

There already is a "Can backup/restore database" Admin permission but that no affect if the user is a Founder - and that is what this change is aimed at preventing.

I would prefer a change where there can only be one Founder as that would get around all of these types of problems.

I would guess that it is being removed as a security/privacy measure, possibly connected with GDPR. There have been instances where "rogue" Admins/Founders have had access to the backup facility.

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?

Can we get our terminology correct please. Until now phpBB has had styles not themes is this changing? the theme is different than the software package So, by implication are you saying that the "new" style/theme (whatever you want to call it) will not be being packaged with phpBB and will be a sepa...

I know I an good at asking silly questions so here is another one.

Why is Chameleon using the MIT licence when phpBB insists that the GPL-2.0-only licence is used? Is there about to be a change in licensing?

but certainly doesn't sound very useful for a forum that has thousands of posts, topics, and users where the data would be constantly changing.

... as would/could be configuration settings.

So it is not really support but a copy of a site at some point in time which may or may not be relevant to any problem that the site is currently having - sounds like a waste of time to me!

Isn't "offline support" an oxymoron? If it is offline and cannot be accessed then how can you support it - or am I missing something?
