Just update my testboard with auto updater,
A lot of work to delete the files who are not longer used and some (old) extensions are no longer working, further no problems.

Well done.

Probably a dumb question, by why am I not seeing the bigger buttons or the green dot to signify someone online. This is a clean install.

This board is running the latest master branch and therefore contains some changes that will not be part of phpBB 3.3.

Afaik is there no release 3.3.0-a1, so how should he make the diff?

Are there any details anywhere of the changes (if any) in 3.3 that will/may affect extensions?
