Next major version of forum software

[tommy]

The phpBB group who develop the forum software I use here is working on the next major release of the software.

Currently the timeframe is unknown but hopefully it will be later this year. The new software will have a lot of improvements for example sub forums which means that the index page can be reduced to a number of majer categories with subforum in them. For that alone I can't wait for the software to be released. You can see an early preview of the software here: http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB22/index.php please note though that it is not even an alpha release yet so the developers may change the functionality and or design drastically before it is released.


To prepare my site for that upgrade I will soon make start making some changes that hopefully will make it easier to upgrade the software when that time comes. This means that I will remove a few features that I don't feel is used much - such as points and ratings.

Looks pretty good too.
