I disagree! When my Internet is being extra extra slow and te developer has put the script in the head, I often disable js. If something doesn't work, I would consider that to be a bug.VSE+ wrote:Too bad. phpBB DOES expect you to use Javascript./a3 wrote:I don't agree.

Don't believe me? Turn off javascript and head on in to the ACP, and try to view permission masks and/or edit permissions. Or try clicking on a BBcode button or a smiley. Or try creating a post with an attachment or a poll.
You can't do any of those things, as phpBB and its default style Prosilver require Javascript for certain interactions already.
Turning off Javascript is akin to using a monochrome monitor these days. It's possible, but nobody in their right mind is doing it. To turn off javascript is to cripple your browser and absolutely diminish what the web has to offer. The option to disable it is an archaic vestige left over in browser preferences from a time when Javascript was new, untrustworthy and often used for illicit purposes. Those who do turn it off, deserve to have a limited and difficult experience (kind of like those who continue to use IE6 )
I notice that Facebook recently dropped support for non-js browsers
