I would prefer since it avoids having to have html on in every forum. You can define bbcode tags from the console you see, which makes it rather simple to add stuff like nfo, s, spoiler, etc. custom bb. I might have a look at searching a post for and and then if they find matches converting to [ center] on the fly, but that would be require a mod.

With this all being new to most of us, maybe add a small sticky guide with the new code changes to the FAQs on the new board?

Hmm... Sometimes I used:
Code: | <div align="center"></div> |
Sorry.

I have a mod that picks you up and drops you in a pit of lava.
well i don't, but I have a pit of lava. Well I don't actually have lava but there's a button on phpbb3 that deletes a user AND all of his posts and i need someone to test it on....

Applied a few bug fixes and tweaks, this is fast approaching a level of funcitonality above our current forum (provided by mods).
Need to mod in:
- Topic url format restriction [Title (YEAR)]
- Link Censorship (aka. The "fuck you retaggers" mod)
- The 'biggy' -> porting forward the frontpage renderer. I'm considering just using a topic parser for the shares, and keeping the frontpage entries in phpbb2 style
- Implementing a blogging solution - This maybe bespoke (as was the original plan), a phpbb mod, or drupal (the blogging/content management system i use on several of my sites)
First one is simple, second one should be straightforward, third one could be a ballache, and the last one needs a decision on our part (however this will not stop any migration plans).
Way its performing, might be able to start migrating to a new host this friday

Just a thought....
Thers gonna be a shitload of posts that are already using various HTML code that are gonna end up screwed up unless you have something already setup to search all old posts & fix them to the new code.
I'm sure you already thought of that but just in case.....

we are still on phpbb2, it won't be turned on until we migrate to phpbb3 as it supports dynamically added bbcode. In 2 you have to modify the source code to add in a new code... as we did with nfo, s and spoiler.
So it will work as soon as we port up to the new version.
on the other hand will not outside of the collections forums.
Anyway, updates for people regarding phpbb3
- I have now 'completed' the port forward of the shares parsing engine for the frontpage. The comment and news engine will remain bbcode2 for simplicity, whilst the forum topics displayed on the frontpage will be bbcode3... next i am going to crack on with the search portal.
- As mentioned, i need to do the search but this will just be changing table names
- I'm looking into some very powerful mods for phpbb3, one of which will add functionality that I've always wanted to support and was considering making it bespoke like the frontpage. That will likely be added after we migrate over and things have settled.
- I modded a "show topics in parent" feature, but it has a bug that's very annoying since i'm trying to avoid modifying the database and the phpbb guys haven't made the smartest of db designs (in favour of speed of queries)... currently if you go into a child and mark all forums read, they won't be shown as read in the parent unless you click them, so you have to mark the parent as read to mark those as read (doh)... phpbb tracks marktimes based on 2 tables. if you click individual topics, they mark as read just fine
In terms of hosting, I've talked to one and they are giving us a week's free hosting. Hopefully they'll get back to me with details shortly.

I could now pretend i was l33t and claim i rewrote the search, but it turns out the tables and columns it needs are unchanged between 2 and 3 so that is done too now
And on another positive note i got lost for a second and couldn't figure out if i was on the local phpbb3 board or the live one, until i spotted a news post in the top banner that said "testicals"

Oh ok sorry. I thought that [center] thing should already work with PHPBB2.

I've modded in a services feature to the frontpage which will allow you submit (with images) a news or share entry to your facebook/google/del.icio.us/stumbleupon account).
Currently need to:
- replace html links with url links prior to conversion to prevent very early ed2k posts from being messed up
- Sort out some potential corruption of unicode data

Found a HUGE bug in the migration convertor provided by phpbb, glad I didn't try this on a live database or we'd be f*cked and have to lose posts and migrate back I wrote up a list of regression tests and luckily checking formatting of data was one of them.
Seems it fucks up your character set, so for example the nfos come out looking crap since effectively you've botched your database and its permanently corrupted.
The problem is that they f*cked up phpbb2, so it would (as a client) encode characters in utf8, and then store the encoded utf8 characters in the database which it had created in utf8 with a collation of utf8_swedish_ci.
What the botched convertor does is try and read out utf8, and not the utf8 stored in utf8, so you get loads of smurf hats and penis shapes instead of actual unicode.
This is a flaw in the conversion process as far as I can see. Trying to fix it but its a tad difficult.
I've tried utf8 -> BLOB fields -> utf8, then converting but it doesn't seem to have fixed it.
Anyone an encoding expert or has converted to phpbb3?
