vassie Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Running phpBB RC-3 right now.. no problem (yet) Is it easy to upgrade, i'm on RC2, will I lose any posts? Ben :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted March 19, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2002 I've not have much luck with upgrading :s Well.. At some point I screwed up so I ended up removing the whole thing and re-do it again. But hey, you can always do a backup of your database before you upgrade. There's also step-by-step on how to upgrade in the install manual. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nXP_151 Veteran Posted March 19, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2002 PHPBB2 is so cool, download it now, VB is too damn expensive, I can't afford, because I have no money :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orphic Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 vBulletin www.evilwalrus.com is a good source of PHP-related stuff. If you want to be a complete lamer, try www.hotscripts.com - They have just about anything you are looking for, but I bekieve in knowing what is behind I am running. Hence, make sure you go over all of the code and understand what is going on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted March 19, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2002 For those posting Ikonboard and vBulletin, notice that this thread is about free PHP boards. :D PhpBB2 is by far the best thing since sliced bread. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted March 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2002 If there's one thing I hate more than the number of forums out there, it's CMS's (Content Managment Systems). Code your own freaking site people! I'm basically coding something like phpnuke from scratch for timdorr.com version 9. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
