after so many months of long gap and the hard work of team members of phpbb, the team has released phpbb3 version last december. It has arrived after so many betas and then 8 release candidates.
The latest phpbb has all the latest features which are to be present in a forum software. The look and feel is too good. It is sure to give competition to VBulletin script and Invision plus boards which are proprietary softwares.
The version 3 is named as olympus. It has many many features which we dint even imagine. Unlike old versions, this version is very easy to upgrade. And the display of the board mostly uses CSS and javascripts. Very importantly it has bot management functions. Due to the session ID's, many search engines found it difficult to index the pages. Now the search engine spiders can crawl on the pages better.
And there is a temporary suspension feature. Warning messages to spammers and violators. Report post feature comes as a good feature for moderators who find it difficult to find abusing posts between the large forums. And the user layout can be shift to right or left side.
The new feature list can be found on phpbb website www.phpbb.com . It is a loooooong list.
I am installing the latest forum on my site now. Let me see how it works :)
