phpbb3 styles

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!

The official phpBB website has been taken offline after it was hacked. The phpBB team are keen to emphasize that the hacker exploited an out dated installation of phpList and that there are no [known] issues with phpBB itself.

The hacker managed to access the phpBB.com’s community forums and dump a copy of the users table this has obvious issues in terms of the email addresses and passwords that were stored. Whilst phpBB3 uses an advanced password hashing algorithm users who had not logged into the phpBB forums since it was upgraded in 2007 will still have passwords stored in plain md5 which isn’t as secure. The best advice is to change your password at any location if it was the same as your phpBB password.

Every page of the phpBB website has been down since Sunday and as a result a number of the style downloads which are linked to from here will not work until the website is back online.

Just a quick post to bring users and designers attention to the release of phpBB 3.0.4

This release includes a number of fixes and changes to the software. Users should update their forum software as support is only given to the latest versions of phpBB3.

We will also no longer be accepting any phpBB2 styles to the site as the software reaches end of life and support dwindles.

phpBB version 3.0.3 has just been released. You can find the official release topic on the phpBB community forums right here.
