I've been following the 2.2 dev since last year. I wouldn't count on this year however the CVS snapshots I've been testing are awesome. Too many cool features to mention, ones you simply don't see in other software. phpBB is driven by logic instead of money.

No I don't work for them in fact I won't post on the dev board any more because of the abrasiveness. But the software is exceptional.

What features are in phpbb 2.2 that are not in other BB's ?

and please define "logic driven"
Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.

Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
Good starting places: Gentoo Novell SUSE Fedora Core Apple

I have a CVS Snapshot on my hosting server. Sadly to say, I havent had tikme to update it an my hosting account ran out I think.

Also, I heard a official phpBB Forum Coder make note that they are pushing to have it out in late December and trying to make it out before the New Years, although they are still not pushing to set a date.

phpBB 2.2 I know so far are these great new features:

Users Control Panel
Birthday, Gender Add-ons
Report Topics and Posts
Uploadable Photo (Not Confirmed)
Advanced Template
New Posting Add-ons
New Advanced Forums/Categories
New Search Functions
Password Protected Forums
*New Legend* Additions
And Much More

You'll have to download it at http://area51.phpbb.com and upload the CVS to your server and install it.

One big one I noticed is if two people are in the same forum posting and someone posts between the time you view and click submit, a message appears saying there have been new posts while you were composing and asks you if you want to review the topic again because of that.


They listened to their customers when designing the new software and sorted out the "whims" from real useful features implementing the most useful of features.

You forgot sub forums and sub sub forums. I wouldn't run a CVS snapshot live, I test it at home....some of the code is still screwy being sub beta.

There are several people allready developing portals, I like the mutant portal the best so far man does that guy know php.

Sorry! That was a friendly "you forgot" as to inform, not a nanny nanny boo boo. No offense meant honest.

Me an "old tech".
