Forum upgrade

Postby lackattack on Tue Feb 16, 2010 3:58 pm

We just upgraded the forum software! A list of major new features to enjoy:

  • Better performance (thanks to new data caching)
  • Bare-bones Quick Reply editor at bottom of view topic page (currently turned on in Monkey Business, more forums to come!)
  • Users can report PMs to moderators
  • Separate PM Reply and PM Reply to all
  • ATOM News Feeds: subscribe to topics, individual forums and the whole forum using the Image feed icon in your browser address bar.
  • Jabber/Google IM messages: send instant messages from user profiles. To set it up, go to Control Panel -> Profile and enter your jabber or gmail address into the Jabber address field. If you do not receive messages you may have to add conquerclub@igniterealtime.org as a contact.
  • Jabber/Google IM notifications: receive instant message notifications of new topics, posts, private messages, etc. To set it up, follow the step above then go to Control Panel -> Board preferences and change Notification method from E-mail only to Jabber only or Both
  • You can foe moderators and admins (I hacked the forum code to allow this)

A full list of changes in phpBB 3.0.6 is available here: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1859035

That is totally awesome (even if the most of the changes are from phpBB team :D).

Lack, do you use APC or memcache here, just wondering?

Also, it is nice to have a usergroup of "new members" - you can (later in the year of 201x) implement "add new maps over time" functionality based on this group.

Will go and test jabber things now.

COOL! Does the mod foe ability make it so we can not be punished with bans and such?

I see you all waited until you all gave ronc the boot.

I just noticed the Quick Reply in the forums. I am trying it here. I seldom visit Monkey Business, but this looks handy for the word association game. A nice feature.
