Honestly I dont understand why some are still scared (or skeptical) of using Javascript in phpbb. How long is phpbb going to continue supporting really old browsers or the very small percentage of people who dont have Javascript enabled? This holds back productivity and progress big time. The things ...

valid point callumacrae.. I understand what you mean and I dont think we can change phpbb into Angular completely (atleast for now). But what I was thinking was maybe instead of turning phpbb completely into Angular, we can perhaps have certain sections into angular. Meaning the Ucp section, MCP ...

If they can both coexist then it might be fine for the core to use this in maybe 3.2.

brunoais, from your post I can understand that you barely even scratched the surface of Angular and hence you feel it doesnt suit phpbb. Actually, some of the things you have stated about Angular is not right. With the multiple tabs, Angular should have no problem in handling it. Also the urls works ...

Why is a single page better than a multiple page application like phpBB? I don't get it.
There are plenty of reasons. Just google it and you will find out why a lot of sites are going towards a javascript FW for client side than the old school static pages that refreshes completely for each page ...

IP is valuable for administration and moderation. I'd *rather* ban tor/proxies.
What I am saying is IP info is valuable for Administrator but not mandatory for Moderators. I dont agree with the argument that moderators needs to know the Ip for moderation work. NOT RIGHT because this doesnt apply ...

Beta 2 already! Wow... Great to see excellent progress. By the looks of it, we could have a final release by Xmas this year if it goes at this pace. Fingers crossed and v excited to view the progress.
