Just a little message to be the first one to post !

phpBB is THE BEST! Happy that Christian choose phpBB!
But I hope that he also will add a QUICK REPLY HACK to phpBB

[fabiochelly]

phpBB is a great forum but I prefer Invision Board which is more beautiful, have more options and takes less resources (I tried the both).

To compare, you can look at my forum : http://www.chelly.net/invb/

Welcome back! I promise to make backups now...

@Ergo
I have already added some hacks (even did some changes myself!), so I will have a look at that 'quick reply' hack.

Hey - I am back!
One question - why is the signature limited to 128 characters now???

[ghisler(Author)]

Welcome back André!

One question - why is the signature limited to 128 characters now???

I can change this if you want. How much was it in the old board? How much do you need? I don't want to have pages of signatures, but a reasonable size is OK.

[Nigurrath]

Another question, how can I disable smiley inside the signature?? In the previous forum the smiley there were not interpreted for signatures, but only for messages

TAL!

[André Martin]

I cannot remember but 250 chars should be enough - thanks!

[ghisler(Author)]

OK, changed it to 256 characters.

Another question, how can I disable smiley inside the signature?? In the previous forum the smiley there were not interpreted for signatures, but only for messages

Unfortunately I couldn't find any configuration option for smilies in the signature, so I will probably have to write a custom modification. I could completely disallow smilies in the signature. What do you think?

@Ergo:
Just added a quick reply hack! Please try it. The quick reply window is only visible if a reply is possible (user is logged in and thread isn't locked).

[Nigurrath]

@Ghisler
yes, it's ok, ate least 4 me to disallow smileys inside signatures only..TAL!

[ghisler(Author)]

OK, smilies in the footer are off now!

Hello everybody,
It's good to be back, I missed you all !!!!!!

And what a beautifull fresh new forum, ready to be filled with good total commander tips and plugins news.

Well, might as well make a suggestion for the forum (or should I say board ?).

It's all looking quite nice and I see many are using their own avatars. The default avatars are all manga type faces, what IMHO is quite boring and does not add anything to personalize one's identity. (and nobody really wants to use them because somebody else might use the same one)

What about replacing them (or adding) some country flags. I have a nice collection of 193 countries (only 47 KB) http://snow.prohosting.com/maxwish/flags.zip
Besides, this might give the forum a (more) international flair and remind people that not everybody has English as his/her native language.

What do you think ?
