PunBB Forums → General discussion → PhpBB 3 shows its face
The chaps who create phpBB have re-vamped their site and based it on the forthcoming PhpBB 3 software.
OF COURSE I'm not suggesting that it's any good 
but its interesting to see what features and styles they've added.

Meh.. I like 1.3 much better 
There are some things interesting (unicode support, at last) and a few features more, but to release a new major version without clean URI, plugins, and the like... PhpBB is still behind.
What's a "clean URI"?
In fact, what's a dirty URI?

I too like punbb rather than a beast with 1000 holes.
The new site feels kind of heavy to me, maybe it's just a very busy forum?

Dirty: /community/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=3546543154&sid=35243513513135421
Clean: /community/support-forum/how-do-i-switch-to-punbb
Note: hypothetical url

Nice one, but please give us _underscores_ in the clean URLs in 1.3, please, pleeeeaaaaasssssee! 
is this clean URI will added in 1.3? or it is a mod?
where? where is it? i wanna try
http://blog.punbb.org/2007/03/19/seffancypretty-urls/ - some information about them in 1.3
I motion to officially name that feature "seffancyprettyurls" (wp's removal of the / and space made me lol when I saw the url for the blog about it).

lol I noticed that... somehow I don't think it would clear up any confusion

You will be able to edit the URI scheme for your own twisted dark needs.
Noticed that phpBB 3 with prosilver uses CSS as well as PunBB. (div, dd, etc.)
I'll never switch to phpbb again. It's to difficult to modify.

Thats great! I did not know about it until I read the blogpost by Connor, thanks for the tip Connordh!
Twisted dark needs? Uhm. 
phpBB 3 uses CSS more than PunBB.
I would never, ever, NEVER go back to phpBB.
I like punBB so much!!
I've stated this before, and it bears repeating: Using phpBB required you to visit their website for a frigging DIB {Daily Intelligence Brief}
... and even then, you could never catch up with number of hackers that had the latest 'patch' already HACKED!!
BooooooHisssssssssssss .....

No one is suggesting that you do but it's worth seeing what the competition are up to, and taking their best ideas!

So true, cause we're all in this together.
PhpBB sort of reminds me of a big pile of MOD EDIT.
I'm actually quite impressed with the output of their forums now. its all one big unordered list. while v3 *looks* nice, I'm sure its not as easy to hack as punbb. I think v3 is a complete rewrite of the original.
mod edit happens on any code base when you have too many cooks in the kitchen and everybody is on a different menu.
Indeed, the markup seems incredibly improved. Still not good (not valid, cluttered with inline styling, <b> tags, empty tags and useless non semantic nbsp among other things), but it was worst before. Maybe phpbb5 will be valid and somewhat semantic.

I hate that, why go to so much effort and not finish the job properly :S
