It's done. We finally updated the v2 phpBB board to the latest version 3.04. It took some time because not only the whole database structure has changed from v2 to 3 but also the template system is quite different and also the password encoding is much more complicated (the latter had to be included in our VA scripts to have new VA members automatically registered for the forum).
Although it's basically still the same software, a lot of things have changed for users too. Like layout: things that used to be on left side are now on the right side, buttons and font types look a little different etc. But also the workflow has changed and mostly improved. New control panels (note the link in the top area) for users and mods, everything tab based with new or improved options. I suggest you just have a look around, get used to the new stuff and see how you get along. If you run into problems just call and we'll (try to) be there
Last note and an important one: There's no "quick login" as before but, once you're logged into the VA, the board's quick login form (bottom of the page) is filled with the right values, so all you have to do is click "Login" (again: on bottom of the index page).
You can also use the "login" link on top but in that case have to fill in your data yourself (which is your full name - first + last - and your VA password). I hope to find a faster solution one day. For now it will have to do.
Any feedback on how you like it or not is welcome. :fly:
