Forum software update phpBB 2.0.21->3.0.8
Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 3:50 pm
This is just to inform you that we are working on upgrading the forum software to a more recent version. More precisely: version 3.08.
We have it up and running in a temporary working environment and we are implementing small fixes to it. Primarily to have the same features as before (ie things I've implemented over the years, not so many) and then to add more functions to the standard version.
In the new version there are some really important updates. For example visitors can now upload images and attachments themselves and include them in their posts. Like that there's no need to first upload pictures to your own server (of PhotoBucket etc). Images and attachments can be placed "inline" ie as before, or as attachments. Attachments are presented as a list of links at the bottom of the post.
We are also looking into ways of integrating SlalomRanking.com with SlalomSkateboarder.com by allowing data from one to be shown in the other and vice versa. Such changes will come a little bit later.
The new version will go live in a couple of weeks, and it may be that the forum will be unavailable for a day or two while actually executing the update and migrating the data from the old database to the new one.
I'll keep you informed when it's about to happen.
