Upgrading to phpBB3
Re: Upgrading to phpBB3
The server/player list on the forum main page is back. It looks like you need to encode the text in UTF-8. You can use iconv to do it.

Re: Upgrading to phpBB3
I don't know what's going on there. It's using utf-8 afaik. Worked on the old forum correctly.

Re: Upgrading to phpBB3
That's because the old forums's charset was ISO-8859-1, and now it is UTF-8. The data was in the correct encoding before, but not now.

Re: Upgrading to phpBB3
Does it show correctly now? Reviewing the code just now I noticed a work around for using php4 which no longer applies, and has been replaced with the correct php5.

Re: Upgrading to phpBB3
On the home page, the colour markers showing which Forums contain new post don't seem to be changing.
They're now constantly red (save the few that haven't had new posts since the upgrade)
I didn't go back more than 2-3 pages to see if this was pointed out already or not. Maybe this is just me?

Re: Upgrading to phpBB3
That's probably because it doesn't keep track which posts are new (like phpbb2), but which posts are unread. So until you read every new post since the upgrade they stay red. You could also just press the "Mark all forums read" link.

EDIT: Nevermind. It was sad, but I found it eventually.

Re: Upgrading to phpBB3
When I reply to some post the BBC code is off. I never noticed this happening before. Is it intentional?
