Back to web development

I'm really wanting 1.3 to come out as well. I hear that it's much easier and all, but I think you, myself and many many others are craving for the finish and release of it. I have a heavily modded (well, not too heavily, but heavy enough) forum running and I love PunBB, but I'm a little scared to do too much more with it as I'm not a php guru by any means and if something went wrong, I would be screwed.

With this extension setup we keep hearing about, I wouldn't have to worry about this kind of issue for upgrades or mods or anything. Put the plugin in, if it don't work, yank it.  Sounds great...I just really hope the wait isn't that long. I'd like to make a few changes to my forums...but don't want to do too much till 1.3 is out, I have it up and running and see what kind of extensions are coming with it. I'd hate to upgrade and find out that my previous hacks and mods to get it how I like it won't work anymore due to no extensions or some other reason.

Same and I really hope so, but myself and many many others are wondering just how long we are going to end up waiting. I'd like to do a few other things to my forums...but worried about when 1.3 goes live and performing the upgrade to 1.3 and still keeping all of my current stuff. Even though some of the mods done to my forums I KNOW won't transfer over to 1.3...I just worry about some of the more basic mods or changes I've made to the forums.

id assume that the extension would only "change/add" to the main punbb files, than you can add your own files.

once 1.3 does come out. i wont really have a website, ill be doing all my testing and moding on a self hosted server. i geuss i could start up a site for my punbb mods, but it just don't seem like it would work because there is punres for mods.
