Development Discussion Board

I agree, I would like my board to be able to send HTML emails with some styling, instead of plain-text old-looking emails.
There could be a board-wide setting and a user-setting for choosing between text emails or HTML emails.

I used an Invision forum until it became a commercial ...

I agree with brunoais.
I want to keep the possibility to name my phpbb styles using spaces and any accented character (commonly used in many languages, including german, portuguese, french...and many more!).
Please keep style_path!

Before using PHPBB, I used IPB (up to version 2.0)
In all IPB pages , the same function gets called just before sending content to the browser.
