Hard to believe it has been 5 years since the last big forum upgrade, and it is well overdue for an overhaul.
Either Saturday or Sunday night I'll be updating to the latest version of phpBB, and changing the style to work better on mobile and tablets. So if you visit the forum and it looks different, you'll know why.
After that is done I'll be turning my attention to the rest of the website.
Okay, so the forum update seems to have worked. Just a couple of other things to mention:
Given the small size of our community, I'm going to be merging and removing areas of the forum. It doesn't make any sense to have sections that are barely used.
Although the default forum style has the poster's profile on the right, I'm thinking it might be better on the left.
I plan on adding a plugin that allows users to sign in using their Facebook/Twitter account.
If you have any comments or suggestions please let me know.
