We’ve been hard at work adding plenty of new features to the website and today we’re glad to announce the release of Favourites, Demo options, a new layout for styles plus more ways than ever to find the content you’re looking for.
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.
A great style can make a forum and for phpBB there are hundreds to choose from. Our styles database and styles demo currently host well over 200 free to download contributed by wonderful designers from across the world. The question is how do I find a style for my forum? Well we’ve added a number of new features to help you out…
It’s the users that make any website and Awesome Styles is no exception. We’re looking to hear what you all think about our website, the design, functionality and the content. More importantly we want to know what you think needs to be improved!
You can send us your thoughts, no matter how long or short, good or bad to us either via our online contact form or our parent’s feedback form
Whether it be as minor gripe as the size of padding on one HTML element or the belief we’re not providing enough content we want to know!
Thanks!
ForumArena, a free phpBB forum host, has had a massive loss of data resulting in all hosted forums becoming inaccessible. The free forum host hosted over 13,000 free forums with nearly 2 million posts across their network.

A thread in their partner’s host support forum blames the loss of data on an ‘error on the disk of the server’. According to the support staff the database and all backups have been corrupted and it is highly unlikely any of the forums will work in the near future. All hosted forums currently display an error message along with a chatbox to allow members to commuicate.
Board owners who bought ad free boards and premium upgrades are able to request a refund or start a new board at ForumWise.
Those looking for somewhere to start their forum up again may wish to check our our free forum hosting resource pages which lists a number of free forum hosts.
