I take it the board exploded :P

Looking at the old phpbb CP, some of the stuff you listed is in phpbb but you missed it. Some of it is missing from phpbb and either I couldn't find it or it's missing and it really should be in there. I was surprised not being able to find IP searching. A lot of what you listed is missing from phpbb but is worthless.

I was typing up a longer response, but then I got to this:

[qq]Debating this kind of thing with someone who in my opinion is either blind or heavily bias towards his preference is probably a waste of time, with or without facts.[/qq]

I frequent another MB where a lot of heavy debating goes on. I'm going to quote part of their FAQ.

[qq]Calling a fellow poster "delusional", "deceitful", or a similarly inflammatory accusation, is not acceptable even if you believe that the accusation is true.[/qq]

"You're blind" or "you're biased" is equivalent to saying "I'm so obviously correct that no matter what you say, unless you agree with me, I refuse to accept the possibility that you're right". This is the point where I don't feel any desire to continue the discussion.

But that's only because there's no point in arguing with a person like that. Anybody who disagrees is blind.

Its on each post gives the IP and to search for it you goto the forum admin panel and click on their name as it comes up on the front of the admin panel, if their not on there hit anyone and copy in previously shown IP, it also tells you how many people have posted from that IP and thats in the stable version btw :D

I only said you were blind/bias because you seemed to believe that the vB admin CP wasn't better than the phpBB admin CP, and I think that's like saying that a computer with a DVDRW is not better than the same computer without a DVDRW. You said you can't think of any features that vB has that phpBB doesn't, didn't you?

I do apologise for the accusation, though. I guess I passed my debating limit because it looks like you weren't conceding anything to vB at all. I was at least saying "Okay, you have this, that's nice." when I saw something that vB didn't have that phpBB did. You seemed to be only promoting yours and not giving anything away. Either you honestly don't know what useful features vB has, or you honestly think that not a single one of them is useful, or you just won't admit it. I'll reword "blind or bias" to "surprisingly lacking knowledge of vB, heavily fixated on the opinion that not one vB feature is useful or just not willing to admit that vB may have useful features." I have a lot of difficulty arguing with someone that I honestly believe knows half of the things that he's asking for and is just making me list off things that he already knows or could find out himself. It's frustrating. Unfortunately I let that frustration get the better of me and I'm sorry for that.

According to Yams' post, the admin CP we're looking at isn't even final, and I already said that I'm talking about current official releases. It's possible that 3.1.0 for vB could be out before phpBB2.1.2 but I'm not going to even consider thinking about what might be in it, or when it will actually be out. I do however think that phpBB2.1.2 is promising and have always believed that. But there's a reason we didn't upgrade to the development/beta vB's - we waited for the betas to be complete so we could use the stable version. As I said, we could talk all day about future releases and hacked/modded versions but yeah.

I'm still all for getting back onto the topic of this thread...

:P

Big D - Fixed, finally.

I don't know what you're talking about, Baloki. I don't see anyone going off topic. You must be imagining things. :) *fleedom*

:monster:

*gives c_l a :cookie: or two :cookie::cookie:*

Ultimately though, any of the forums will work, the just need to be adapted to the site/server they specifically serve. :)

Not for me, it ain't:p

Well, for me it's bright white - you might want to delete your temporary internet files and try again. Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files... should do the trick, hopefully.

or in IE hitting ctrl + F5 does a full refresh :D

Is there anyway to turn the message too short thing off? It's driving me crazy. *kills someone*

Of course there is :monster:

Would you be so kind as to shorten the character limit to one character, clout? :)

Why one? I can understand two...
