New updated version of forum

Hello All

SoundSpectrum have done us proud and we now have the latest version of phpBB forum. Many thanks to Brandon for his hard work setting it up for all of us.

Hi all, these forums have been using phpBB 2.x all these years because way back when, I created custom logos for the various installed custom themes and we didn't want to lose that nice look-and-feel with each of those themes...

The hosting company has recently dropped support for PHP 5.6 (rightfully so--it's really old and no longer officially supported). The March forums outage was actually due to the hosting company's automatic upgrade from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.2--this broke the old phpBB 2.x, but we were able to revert back to PHP 5.6 for another 30 days. Now that our hand is forced and PHP 7.2+ is a requirement, we had to migrate forums to phpBB 3.x, which I've just finished.

Thank you for your patience! From browsing around a bit, I see all the forums, topics, posts, users, avatars, etc have made it over, but please let us know if you see any issues. The new phpBB 3.x has many additional features, so we may have to tweak things a bit here and there.

Please excuse the ragged logo--it will be fixed soon!

All the credit goes to Gorus, one of the original co-developers and maintainers that has been working with Andy (Drew) for all these years. Thanks so much for all the effort @gorus!!

Brandon just informed me that juxtiphi didn't get migrated successfully. I'm looking into it.

Had to take the forums offline while working on the problem... ok, juxtiphi is back now. Please lmk if there are any other issues.

Hello gorus

I have just noticed there does not appear to have a link to get to the support pages such as downloads, purchases etc.

gorus, what have you gone and done - the new colors are awful, please revert back to the original.

[b.dwall]

You should be able to go to your User Control Panel and change the color scheme. We lost all the previous customizations unfortunately. But at least we didn't loose years of content and user contributions.

I don't know about awful, I liked it.

Thank you, I just added the support link back.

Yes, as Brandon said, there are currently two styles available--the default phpBB3 light one (prosilver) and the dark one (Prosilver Dark). You can choose whichever one you like best in User Control Panel -> Board preferences.

Hello gorus

Thanks for the info about the colour scheme, also good to see the support link now included. I sent Brandon an email pointing out that stickies are not enabled. This link may help:-
