Development Discussion Board

Right now our page titles are inconsistent

When iewing topics and forums we show (which is usually preferred for many reasons):
page title • site name

All other pages are reversed:
site name • page title

Should we update our page titles (simplify it) to show the former for all pages?

These topics are not an announcement of a release, but rather an open checklist and discussion of an upcoming release.

Thanks for your proposal!

I'd look to something like Facebook which is all about users and who is online or not. They just have usually a little green "on" light next to a user's name when they are online. Something similar would work fine IMO next to the user's name. Glowing names are a little silly and almost feel old fash...

I say keep it simple. Limit the ad placements to a few normal positions (as mentioned in your orig proposal). Do not try to give tons of every option possible. That will only get you into trouble. You can always add more later, if reasonable. Don't "over-engineer" it and don't assume you have to ple...

I would like to see the extension manager gets its update so it is aware of extension branch versions (3.1x/3.2x) in this release.

Oh? How should it look like in 2017?

It should look dystopian

Actually a 1 click update could probably run composer and update the vendor stuff the right way.

Out of interest/curiosity - do the stats from phpBB installs show the version of PHP that is used, and if not would it be an idea to add them (if that is possible)

Just go to the ACP, choose the Help support phpBB panel, and click Show details.

Oh, the answer is Yes.

This I would consider a good working solution, with not much runtime impact (only a check every 5 to 10 minutes, or on demand...) and yet a very important reliability improvement (at least in my view).

To me this is a bad idea. And for a very minor (almost non-) issue, IMO.
