EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 PHPBB testing has begun! Also, I have uploaded more avatars to the avatar gallery. More avatars may come, but it is currently unknown. For now, though, I have uploaded 7 new galleries: Animals, Disney, El Goonish Shive (its a webcomic), Flags, Looking for Group (Another webcomic), Star Wars, and Video Games (they range from Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Sonic the Hedgehog, Final Fantasy, and a few other random ones).

EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 As a side note for now: The chances of switching to PHPBB are looking slimmer. I've been working with it a little, and I'm having not sure how to transfer the IPB database to the PHPBB database (it doesn't help that I have no access to that IPB database...but it turns out neither does Marked). The other thing is that there are no mods for making avatars like I was imagining, we'd have to write our own mod, so we'd need someone who knows PHP and whatever...in which case, we could probably do it with IPB because of that. The only reason I really considered PHPBB for that was because I thought someone already had a mod for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 I'm having not sure how to transfer the IPB database to the PHPBB database (it doesn't help that I have no access to that IPB database...but it turns out neither does Marked). Actually we do, it would be very risky if something happened and we didnt have access to it. I'll PM you how to access it. aww... alright... I do like me some phpBB... but, we can atleast get a new skin and such... There are so many skins to choose from, what kinda skin would like to see here? Perhaps I'll see if i can find one that would fit your description. EDIT: I started writing my post before you, polraudio :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaacsol 10 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Emily, if you ever need access to the database, I will be willing to download a copy of it and then send it over. Also, if you need a ftp account to the forum's files, tell me and I will create one for you or you could use the one I made for Marked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illustrationism 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but SMF is a very solid system and is incredibly easy to hook into from your main site. On top of that, I'm pretty sure they provide a conversion script from IPB. I've heard that PHPBB 3 is nice, but I've never used it before. PHPBB 2, on the other hand, is quite terrible... So I hope if you do alter the board, you'll pass over version 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 You know I know IPB inside and out. Spend 9 years using it and you get to know how to make it work for you instead of against you. If you need any help you know where to find me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
