phpBB 2.0.x vs phpBB 2.2.x
 
phpBB 2.0.x - http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB
phpBB 2.2.x - http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB22


Which do you think looks better?



I personally like the overall look of the 2.2 series, but the header is just plain old strange. o_O

Comments? Thoughts? More Webbie talk? =p

Spectrum November 28th, 2004 1:29 AM

I'm gonna give phpBB 2.2 the IPB-wannabe award. xP Erm, anyways, it looks good! ^_^

Kipkip November 28th, 2004 5:35 AM

Well, that's not going to be the final design of phpBB 2.2. I read on their site that they're going to change it which is good sine I don't like the 2.2 one. So I say the original one looks better.

Spectrum November 28th, 2004 5:39 AM

Aww, but the 2.2 design looks better than the 2.0 design. xD

PichuSecretBase November 28th, 2004 5:52 AM

The 2.2 is better then the 2.0 imo but I hate PHPbb anyway =P.

Spectrum November 28th, 2004 5:54 AM

Really? Join the club! xP

PichuSecretBase November 28th, 2004 6:02 AM

Yup PHPbb is awful except when I'm feeling wierd XD I like myBB and vB and PHPpost

aRedMoon November 28th, 2004 11:31 AM

No bashing phpBB. It's a good forum software. ;_;


And it's the basic design of 2.2, they won't change all that much.

PichuSecretBase November 28th, 2004 11:38 AM

I'm not bashing it. I'm saying I hate it :3

We need a good debate on the best forum software. xD

Cherrim November 28th, 2004 11:43 AM

o_O I must admit, I fully agree with you there, JK. The design is overall much easier on the eyes and looks really nice, but that header.... XD;

I'm not really one for phpBB anyway, though. @[email protected] I've always found the basic forums design rather weird and if you want better features, you have to hack it and such. =\ I've just always been an IPB person, I suppose~

PichuSecretBase November 28th, 2004 11:43 AM

That may be Thunder Dome material though XDDD j/k.

Who shall rule... IPB, PHPbb, vB, Mybb, PHP Post, UBB, Yabb... dun dun duuuuunnnnnn~!

Editing Typo-ness ~

aRedMoon November 28th, 2004 11:46 AM

You wanna make the topic or should I PSB? XD

And Erica, hacking really isn't all that hard. It's simple copy/paste unless you want to go out and design your own hack.

Morkula November 28th, 2004 11:59 AM

I'm an IPB person, but I'm thinking about going to myBB after it goes Gold. I DESPISE phpBB in any way, shape, or form. The only thing it's got going for it is that it's pretty. :P
Of course, vB>>>>>>all, but some of us can't afford $160 or don't have an active-enough forum to justify spending that much. -_-

PichuSecretBase November 28th, 2004 12:02 PM

You can JK :3 I dont mind. Twas your idea XD

aRedMoon November 28th, 2004 12:07 PM

I despise IPB. It's ugly~~ even more ugly than SMF default. ._.

kyo November 28th, 2004 6:53 PM

or you just don't know how to use it.

Morkula November 28th, 2004 7:22 PM

Getting back on topic here, 2.2 looks like it will have a lot of features that 2.0 lacks, but still I think that there will be a lot of features lacking in phpBB.

JPChibi November 28th, 2004 7:30 PM

like i am so new here so like what sup you what do i call yall pokemon webmasters i am like glad to be here.

Morkula November 28th, 2004 7:42 PM

^That was nothing but spam... -_-

And I didn't notice anything strange about the header O.o

Cherrim November 28th, 2004 7:43 PM

JPChibi, please don't spam like that. -_- Try to stay at least a little relevant to the topic, okay?

And the strange thing about the header is how it spans the entire page whereas the tables and whatnot only span about 95%. o_O

Morkula November 28th, 2004 7:49 PM

Well, now that you bring that up, it does look kind of strange O.o

I know perfectly well how to use IPB. -_-;;



And 2.2 has a lot of features, the ones that most people would hack into a normal one. But it still isn't nearly as bulky as say, IPB2 or vB3.

Morkula November 28th, 2004 8:17 PM

I HATE IPB2... -_-

But I will admit, now that I've looked at the feature list, phpBB 2.2 will have some great features that no other BB has, like Super Moderators, User Control Panel, and Reporting Posts *sarcasm*

aRedMoon November 28th, 2004 9:03 PM

I've seen the admincp, it's a lot better than anything IPB has come up with. ;)

Cherrim November 29th, 2004 7:18 AM

Hopefully I'll agree with you there when I see it. One thing I hated about phpBB when I tried it was how confusing I found the Admin CP. o_o; Nothing was where I thought it would be and there was almost nothing there. (Which again ties into my too-lazy-to-hack thing. xD)

aRedMoon November 29th, 2004 1:55 PM

O_o

I found it easy as pie. A lot easier than say, IPB.

kyo November 29th, 2004 2:02 PM

i think ipb admin panel is better, and also phpbb group control sucks, ipb is better.

aRedMoon November 29th, 2004 2:03 PM

The group control on phpBB isn't as good as it could be, but IPB groups suck just as bad. :/

SMF and vB groups are by far superior.

kyo November 29th, 2004 2:06 PM

still is better than phpbb and that was count.

aRedMoon November 29th, 2004 2:21 PM

I think the IPB admin panel sucks. >>;;

Cherrim November 29th, 2004 2:29 PM

Really? I always found it incredibly easy to maneuvre. =\ I guess I switched from being an Ikonboard person to IPB. The Admin CP's on both of those are fairly similar so making the transition from CGI to PHP was fairly easy for me. I guess it's just hard to adapt to different styles of CPs.

._. This could just as easily be debated in the other thread, though. Let's leave this one for talk about the new version of phpBB. ^_^;

aRedMoon November 29th, 2004 2:42 PM

...please, don't try to tame our ot discussion. -_-;;


The IPB panel is so split up, there's too many categories imo, i found it simpler with phpBB because it's all there and [I found that] everything is easy to find [imo].

kyo November 29th, 2004 2:55 PM

welll than i like the so split up panel, and not the little easy one.

aRedMoon November 29th, 2004 2:56 PM

._. Good for ya.


<3 phpBB's simple forum adding.

kyo November 29th, 2004 2:59 PM

i think that even yabb gold is better than phpbb, it even got a calendar, something you need to get a hack for phpbb to have it.

aRedMoon November 29th, 2004 3:00 PM

I have never seen use for a calendar. What good is it?

kyo November 29th, 2004 3:06 PM

i don't know, let just stop the fight, this seem like spam.
