IF YOU WANT TO SEE PHPBB 3 beta 2 IN ACTION PLEASE VISIT MY SITE WITH THE BOARD (NOTICE: THIS IS THE MOST STABLE VERSION BUT REMEMBER IS IT UNSTABLE DO NOT RE GIVE ANY REAL INFORMATION AS IT MAY POSE A SECURITY HAZARD)
You can use fake e-mail addresses for sign up (i will use board pms for contact)

Thats the nly word i could find to explain it the board is fast, reliable, and the support is quick i love it



(juts one thing you should give us access to the panel where you can change what users see when your banned or when your board is offline thats what my old on did but they where slow so i had to give up those things for speed :|)


PS i have noticed that some people have changed things on there fourm that only access to the code would allow then to change, (like at the top with the FAQ, Profile, ECT i saw one with a "rules" button (it was a forum by noonhost)) is this able to be done OR is it some sort of hack? if it is ok then how can i access my boards code?
