Author Topic: May I suggest phpBB?? (Read 3366 times)

Jasoco · « **on:** May 18, 2002, 02:28:17 AM »

Whover owns this site, I'd like to suggest a better forum format.

I've noticed this Forum is buggy. Why not get one that works perfectly? :-D

It's called phpBB and includes TONS of features. It's free. http://www.phpbb.com/

Or you can try YaBB (Yet another Bulliten Board). It's not as feature packed, but is very good. http://www.yabbforum.com/

The only problem is that you may lose all existing topics. :-( But you'd gain So much more.

I don't want to be out of line. I'm new here, but frankly, whatever Forum software you use is not very good. Buggy. Doesn't work half the time. Not enough features.

If I am out of line. Sorry. I'll shut up. Just a suggestion.

Exampoles of what you can do with them are found here:
phpBB: http://www.appleaddict.com/index.php
YaBB: http://www.applefritter.com/cgi-bin/YaBB/YaBB.pl

I'd settle for a stable forum. :-(

Does anyone else experience errors and such?

I'm just saying, it'd be a ton of fun to switch to phpBB or YaBB since they offer SO much more.

Avatars are good and all. You should see mine at AppleAddict. SMB3 anyone? My sig is also a little "Fake SMB3 Level" I made.

For the curious:

The Avatar: http://www.jasoco.com/lookhere/avatars/mario_60x60.gif

The problem is you guys MAY lose all your current posts and status. And have to reregister. But the bright side is a crisp clean new feature rich forum to frolic in. Take advantage of images, fonts, avatars, Private Messages, URL's (Without having to copy and paste the text into a browser)...

What should we do about stories we like? Copy them onto our harddrive and paste them in the new Board?

If by stories, you mean threads. Well, most likely the format is completely different so you'll just have to have fun starting the threads again. Begin anew. In a brand new forum that works.

If you want a WORKING test, go to SM128C's Message Board. I joined, and it is AWESOME! phpBB is excellent!

Why is the ZSNES Board's format YabbSE? I mean, what is the SE for?

And yes, you WILL lose all threads and have to reregister if we get a new format. The ZSNES Board has changed format two times, one from ???? format to YabbSE format, and one from YabbSE format to YabbSE no Karma format, both times I had to reregister and all topics were destroyed. I don't plan on going there again though. I "banned myself", as bandicootbuddy would call it.

Mario, Mario, Mario! What happened to Mr. Andretti?
