Forum upgrade 01.06.2019

Post by bjoern » 01.06.2019, 23:38

The forum was not upgraded for a long time - the old version was running on phpBB 3.0.12.

Now it has been upgraded to phpBB 3.2.7.

The old style of the forum was based on Ad Infinitum which is not maintained anymore. The new style is now based on Nosebleed which was originally developed by the same author of Ad Infinitum, Mike Lothar. The version used here, Nosebleed 3.0.1, was ported by Ian Bradley. The last update was issued just two days before I started with the upgrade process:

As this theme is basically based on a white background, I inverted and/or edited most colors. Close to the original theme are those of the sub forums:
Thanks go to the authors of this theme as well as to the phpBB community!

The biggest advantage of the new forum is the mobile-compatible layout plus it is running now on a recent PHP 7.X version.

In addition, I hope that we can minimize the amount of spam in this forum during the next time.

Have fun!
Bjorn

The forum is just now running on PHP 7.1 which should increase speed and security in comparison to the previously-used PHP 5.6.
