Development Discussion Board

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" and have them ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
