awesome styles

The phpBB group have released the newest version of phpBB3, 3.0.7. This is a maintenance update which brings a number of improvements to the system and lots of bug fixes. There are only a few number of new features and functionality changes meaning updating styles won’t take too long.

The phpBB group have released the newest version of phpBB3, 3.0.6. This update not only brings a range of bugfixes and security improvements to the software but plenty of new features moved forward from the planned 3.1 release. The downside of this for styles is that there are plenty of updates to be made to get styles working in the latest version.

The latest maintenance release of phpBB, 3.0.5, is now available for download. This package fixes more than 65 bugs, makes a number of changes to the behaviour of the forum, introduces 9 features and fixes a single security risk.

The Style Of The Month (SOTM) for February has been given to the Pro_ubuntu by Ishimaru Design

This is a great new phpBB3 style for 3.0.4. The style is themed on the Ubuntu operating system and the accompanying community forums. The style itself is prosilver based coded with XHTML and CSS without the use of tables. A mix of brown and orange colours together with the Ubuntu logo and icons finish off a great phpBB3 style for any forum!

We’ve decided to take a slightly different approach styles of the month from here on: instead of an editors choice we’ll be awarding the SOTM at the end of each month based on our site statistics.

January’s style of the month is the wonderful buziness board by abble

This is another great phpBB3 style – it features a sidebar, mouseover effects, social bookmarking links and even a tag cloud. A dark template it contains a blend of dark greys and blues. A brilliant style!
