Hi Biotron,

I'm not sure if/when we'll get avatars and the new BB code formatting.

Here's the deal: We're using phpBB 1.4. The current version of the software (that lottaliving is using) is 2.0. PhpBB 2.0 is a total rewrite from 1.4.

I've made a lott of changes to the 1.4 software here. Not just graphics and colors but actually (re)writing new code to provide new features like Mail delivery, better text rendering in messages, and other misc. stuff. Since 2.0 of the board was a total re-write, it's not simply as easy as re-adding my changes.

I'll have to weight the benifits of 2.0's new features vs. the work it will take to re-implement mail delivery.

So, will we be getting avatars?

• Short term: No
• Long term: it's possible

Hope this helps.
