Is it good or bad luck though, Symon found problems, Archers_rest is finding a problem. The problems are of course being rapidly fixed, but why have loads of people going through it?

I agree and understand... kid in the candy store syndrome... it'll come good and patients is a virtue

I am allowing all forums to try upgrading now. it is not that all problems are clearly solved, but more that as we are not advertising the fact outside of the support forum, the take up is quite manageable, well almost not happening really! _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

I'm away from home right now but will be performing an upgrade this evening and advising my members of the phpbb3 version... so hope to add to the support network with regard to reporting of issues and the resolution to them.

many thanks admin

Could there possibly be an option to preview your forum as phpBB3? Because if I were to switch my forum to phpBB3, I would want to test it out first, see what it looks like, etc. _________________ 24Forum.net

If you read the threads on here and the common questions on PHPBB3 on HOWTODOIT then you will see your answer

Thank you for choosing my forum for the upgrade option. I have done so this morning. So far so good no errors to report as yet. I have a bit of tweeking to do to get it looking the way i want. I'm very impressed wqith the new layout of the acp. I noticed on the templates that there are no preview pictures is this something that will be added later? I'll report any errors or problems i have straight away in the mean time i've got some work to do before the final switch. Once again thanks. _________________

Just hit the first problem. In phpBB2 when i created a copy of a template there was never any problem but in phpBB3 it does not allow you to create a template copy with a name longer than 30 characters. This is a major prolem for me as i cannot do any editing. Would it or is it possible to adjust this. _________________

I am still confused. I just went in to your forum and it seemed to copy a template to : danglyendchronicles.myfastforum.org4 without an error. Where do you see the error. I had to search around for the forum link as you did not give it! _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

Sorry i should have given you the link. Humble appologises. When it asks you if you want to activate it and/or make it the default it comes up with a red screen telling me the name is to long. So it's stuck and i can't install it. _________________
