Development Discussion Board

I was told it would result in changes that are problematic to current extensions, and if true, that is not something I would want. I'm not trying to be "harsh," but rather realistic.

Money is not the only measurement of "worth." People's time does have value and that includes the team and volunteers. The loss of extensions is also a cost, even if not a financial one.

It's the theme designed to be for phpBB4, and it has been in development since 2018. It is considered this grand new frontier for phpBB but seeing images of it, it doesn’t look that grand IMHO. Also, won’t most phpBB users change it anyway to a theme of their choice, just like many already do with ...

I was wondering if the phpbb.com profile link mod used here is available for the public?

Mods have been out of pasture for quite a bit. What are used here are extensions and it does not appear that one installed here links to phpBB.com.

Obviously no one here should recommend using the phpBB4 development version on a live board that someone really cares about, but I'm just wondering how unstable you guys think the current development version is.

b) changing the post_time to the post_time of the source post.


To be honest, I cannot think of many situations where the timestamp has to be an exact match, but I understand where you're coming from.

Just my opinion...

Hey, use what works for you, because as the old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I do recall not advising people to upgrade if they had ...
