phpBB 3 Beta 4
-
Out for test!
Looks quite good. Very similar to HWZ board. Here are some of the major improvements:
1. More colours are available. No longer have to refer to HTML Colour Code guide.
2. A Flash tag (works much like image tag)
3. A [ * ] tag for adding on to the list. Instead of typing manually. Lazy people, lazy ways.
4. Allows you to choose if you want to parse URL links automatically.
5. Can upload files, like some Invision Boards. An example of Invision Board is Geeks to Go.
6. You can even save the message, though I would find it redundant anyway.
7. Subscribing to a topic is now easier. Click on the topic, look at the top and click on Subscribe topic.
8. Can view a topic in Print view, so you no longer need the Print Preview function.
9. Bookmark a topic, if you don't want emails flooding you.
10. Email a friend. Very obvious to what it does.
11. Report a post. It's shown by an exclamation mark (!) on a post. Very big and ugly post.
12. Tags are now automatic. You no longer have to click once to open, another time to close. Click once to open and close a tag.
Screenshot:
But the shortcuts don't work!
I press Alt + B for Bold tags, my bookmark folder open instead.
Meanwhile, I can't find the Edit button.
Maybe admin disabled it.

Freak, I found the Edit button. At the bottom.

oo. finally, im sick of the attachment mod. i go upgrade now.

This feature is not good. I only wanted to add an ordered list, I got 4 closing list tags for every [ * ] I click, as in like this:
[list = 1 ] [ * ] test post
[ * ] test post
[ * ] test post
[ * ] test post [ / list ][ / list ][ / list ][ / list ]
Too automatic also not good. -
Writing it yourself might be better in the end.

Use other boards that is more secure....MyBBoard, free & good and have AJAX~ -
phpBB is not just about adding more features. It is more than that. That's why it is still at beta stage.Originally posted by Y_Shun:so long liao, still at Beta4 only?

MyBBoard works similarly to phpBB board... based off MySQL and PHP... though I've not read through the modifications yet. -
phpBB 3 is already in Beta from ages ago. Till now it is still in "beta", abit "shi bai" lorz. Not to forget their features are still very little and do not even have a "WYSIWYG(What You See Is What You Get" editor(similiar to vBulletin/IPB).
-
I don't remember IPB having a WYSIWYG editor...
-
Sorry to bump this up... but found the full list of features. Note that it is not meant to be exhausive...

Cool! No more 50 cent posts!
But the best one is the new moderator system... cool.
Maybe sgF should upgrade? -
phpbb3 is now at Beta 5. The developers hope it will be the last beta before going on to RC1.
Hmm... I haven't install it yet to play, quite a lot of bugs. -

Yup.Originally posted by iveco:Does PHPBB allow free avatar? -
VBulletin is the way to go!

It is the "in" thing now. In fact, Fictionalley has been using it since 2003.Originally posted by chillz88:VBulletin is the way to go! -
I believe the good thing about PHPBB is that the ban button doesn't exclusively belong to any one person. All moderators have the right to issue ban (temp & perm) as well as delete individual posts they find offensive.
Correct me if this is wrong. This is based on my observation of various forums. -

This new version of phpBB does, but only if admin gives the mods the rights to do so, otherwise, it's still a no.
Here's a screenshot of a mod whom I allow to ban to prevent spamming.
