PPM and PHPBB 3...
Subject description: PHPBB 3 will be released soon, but he won't move to it in the same day.
If you've visited phpBB.com recently, you may have noticed the countdown to the gold release, which should happen on this thrusday. I'm currently extremely busy with the upcomming physics test (as well as the numeric methods one and two homeworks)... in short, university is killing me and I'm not posting news because of that.
Anyway, few days after the release of phpBB3, I'll setup a test forum to see the beast working and... I'll have to wait for some kind of syndication mod, otherwise the frontpage won't work.
Anyway, I think we can expect PPM fully running with phpBB3 in the next year only... possibly on january, maybe later. For now, I won't give dates, but I'll keep you informed about the progress of this operation. QUICK_EDIT

Hey everyone! I have no forgotten phpBB 3. I'm just waiting some mods to be more mature before thinking about a forum upgrade. I've noticed that most of the news syndication mods are still beta and that would screw the site up. So, patience is a virtue. QUICK_EDIT

I've installed a phpBB3 test forum and I'm still installing the mods there. I'll start skinning it once I'm done at adding mods. So far, I've installed:
-> Ajax Quick Edit
-> Quick Reply
-> Topic Rating
-> Enable last topic title
-> Forum Description on forum body
And also added the Youtube and googlevideo BB codes, although I'll still add ModDB and few others. Adding BBCodes with phpBB3 is very easy.
Now I'm waiting for the multiples descriptions mod to be available again (the author's site is offline and only old versions are mirrored in other places), I also need to install RSS and adapt some kind of portal.
In the end, I'll still need to adapt the converter in order to not miss some relevant data from the current forums which uses Categories Hierarchy mod (that isn't covered by any database converter for phpBB3).
In short, I have a long way ahead before get using the phpBB3 officialy and give the forums a proper skin (although the forums will only have one skin, since doing multiples skins requires a lot of effort every time I need to update the forums). QUICK_EDIT
