Development Discussion Board

Erik asked me to post this here (see the phpBB Falling Behind? topic on phpbb.com), so here I am. I won't copy all of the discussion, just my idea, but feel free to read that for background.

I suggest having a phpBB Requirements/RFC forum on phpBB.com. Lots of people have asked in the past where to ...

All together this will result in a feature release being made roughly every 12/14 months, which is a very acceptable cycle.
I think 12-14 months for a feature release is still too long; 12 months should be the outside target (it might slip, of course). IMHO, feature releases should be more like 6 ...

+1 to making all bbcodes custom. AFAIK there are no core-functionality tie-ins to the base set of codes[...]

I wouldn't make the codes truly custom (you wouldn't be able to delete them or change their definitions or HTML replacements). I'd allow changing whether their button was displayed and ...

That would make saving "fully functional" without losing attachments, polls, etc.

Yesterday, I was having trouble registering here. I would agree to the registration terms and get to the next page, but no CAPTCHA was shown. This was in Firefox 3.0.5. I had to use IE to register.

I was also having problems staying logged in after registering, so I cleared my Firefox cookies and a ...

I haven't read all 18 pages of this, so if this has been addressed, please point me to the reply.

One thing I remember people talking about in phpBB 2 was changing the registration script's name so that bots couldn't find it easily. After having read the long server outage thread, especially the ...

Please guys, use the edit function. It's already a long thread, please try to not inflate it by posting in succession.
I'm confused. How would the Edit function help? Assuming your post is directed at me, I responded to different people in different posts to avoid replies to one thing needing ...
