Space Ruckus: The Official Forum :: View topic

As many of you may have noticed, the forum has had several cosmetic changes recently. However, behind the scenes, a major upgrade has been in development. For security reasons, the forum has been upgraded to phpBB 2.0.18. In addition, several small changes have been implemented, such as a function that shows active users in the chat room.

As to those small changes, you will see that the 'Chat' link now shows a count of the number of users currently chatting, as requested. In addition to that, you can hover over the 'Chat' link to get a tooltip list of all the people currently chatting, this information is also available at the bottom of the Index page. The same functionality has been applied to the 'Messages' link.

Pat, make sure you allow port 113. That is the identd port, and if it is blocked, you may have trouble connecting.

Now back on topic, a few more optimizations have been made to the board, but nothing major. Of more importance, the bug that a few people had mentioned to me has now been fixed.

It's great to hear that the board has gotten a cosmetic make-over. With security bug exploiters around, it was a good choice to update the forum software, so it's more secure now, too. I like the IRC stats' inclusion, as well.
