phpBB 2.0.5 Released
 

For all you guys that have phpBB-based forums, such as this one, the newest update is now available to the public. It has a number of fixes, which I've listed below. I highlighted the stuff I found relatively important. The devs say that this is the last version of 2.0.x that will release, and the next version will be the updated, highly anticipated 2.2.

Why that would be a GREAT thing for all the thugs to have. Validate folks who have legitimate questions when they damn well feel like it. INNOVATIVE!

I've emailed BS about updating phpBB when 2.0.3, 2.0.4, and this version, 2.0.5 came out. You really think hes going to update now?! heh

Trust me, I'm nagging him about it.

so whats involved in updating.. cause i'd like to update my forum as well. but i am reluctant to try anything just incase i mess something up.

so whats the steps in doing this?

or is it a piece of cake?

Does the new version come with a pretty little EDIT button?

You can get that after 1000 BJ's, and a 96.76% swallow rate.

on this forum? the chances of that are even slimmer than the forum actually getting some kind of upgrade, add to that it actually working without it all crashing in on itself oOo:

umm it is up to the admins to give u the edit button and i hope u guys upgrade

and now a whole whopping 10% less forum shits biggrin:
