Pros:
• Better security
• Attachments mod bugs gone
• Full unicode support
• Access to many new mods
• Just better in general
Cons:
• Installation, rework and shit.
• Lose all the links to attachments (actually they are all transfered correctly)
We can also just create a new forum instead of importing the old database in PhpBB3. We'd have the old forum and the new forum, but I don't think anyone wants that; resetting is gay.

Cons:

^ that's a big one
you are already pretty busy with S3 and other stuff
but if you have spare time to work on it then go ahead

Not really. I was much more concerned about the attachments.
Installing takes what, 15 secs? enter cpanel, fantastico deluxe, and enter the path to install PhpBB3, then done. After that I just want to rework the posts like I did here but that will be mostly copy/paste.

Can't relink. Sure it's possible but not worth the trouble.

This is fucking insane...
I never would've thought it but it seems that the attachment mod I installed on PhpBB2 correctly transfers the links and shit.
Seriously I don't get it, but this is just so fucking awesome.
See for yourself: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4309&start=20 (http://www.ffhacktics.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4309&start=20)
Oh feel free to post on it, only I'm done modding phpBB3 I'll import the lastest phpBB2 database, crushing any new posts made on that board. You can spam all you like on it to test and shit.
I'll try to fix the spoiler BBCode in signature or something.

Jeez, that looks pretty solid. If there's no foreseeable problem upgrading, then I'm definitely behind this.

index.php (http://www.ffhacktics.com/phpbb3/index.php)
UPDATE:
If you feel anything should be change, then suggest it. By the way I'll change the display for subforums later for one subforum per line. And also going to delete that "Moderators: blablabla" shit.
If you people don't have any suggestions then be ready for conversion soon.

also +points for losing the stark white. less painful on the eyes on a larger monitor.

Is it possible to have the main banner link back to the home page of the website, instead of the board index? I'll try and get more used to the upgrade before I start naming all my suggestions.

Just wanna say nicely done Zodiac. It's like a fresh coat of paint on what was already a really sexy car or whatever.

Another thing that's a bit cumbersome are all the different fonts all over the place. You got some serif fonts, some sans-serif fonts, sigs with different fonts, etc. I guess the layout's still being worked on, so it's no big deal.

I would prefer that the backgrounds and shit matched the old style. The new background and shit is crap. Otherwise, the new features would be nice.
