Suggestions And Hack requests.

All phpbb3 mods are hacks  

This is the big issue with the way both phpbb2 and phpbb3 are coded

To blow our own trumpet, when we add "portals" the portals are only just hacks, the portal system places a component system into phpbb2, so that we can add stuff with minimum "hacking".

A well programmed system, like say the CMS system Joomla, allows mods without hacking. You can add new code without altering the main code at all, and run your code via system events. e.g. If I want to do something special after a user registers, I can ask for my code to be called at that point.

Nothing like this can be done with phpbb2/phpbb3.

This means that if we go down the desired route of adding even approved hacks right now, then when phpbb3.01 is released, which I think it will be soon in order to correct tons of little bugs, then the work and more to the point risk involved in updating the code will be unacceptably high.

I'd ask everyone to be very patient, out phpbb2 system has to be the most advanced in the world by miles and is even now still be worked on to be even better You can see our record on this, and you can see phpbb3 is receiving a degree of work as well. So you can see the intent is there to provide an excellent phpbb3 system, it will just take a little time.

Thanks for the response Admin, I do appreciate the time and effort you and the team put on here, and things are progressing nicely with your phpbb3. I like what I see and can make happen so far.

pretty pointless and as the comments state it will kill server load.

Would it be possible, or is it in the pipeline to have a more advanced posting box like phpBB2 has and a quick reply box. I noticed a reference to a advanced posting box earlier in this thread and just wondered if there's been any more developments.

same old reply on phpbb3, not much will happen outside of the portal system until phpbb3 has had a patch release.

Suggestion:

Moderator's & Administrators post...

I suggest moderators & administrators should have different post backgrounds. For example: A moderator's colour [Fmod] is green. So they should have a greenbackground for their post. An admin is [Red, gold, blue etc] They should have their colour for their post.

Well, it wouldn't really work with the templates. What it would do it work with the colour of the rank for the legend. I've seen this on many forums, and it also helps seeing who's a moderator, and who is not.
