Hi Gcf, How has Php-Nuke 6.5 been working out. I will be upgrading in the next week or so when I Know all the blocks I currenty use work with 6.5. I see KISGB is now updated for 6.5.
I noticed you no longer have a chatroom, or I can't find it. I also miss your shout box.

Hey Roy! The chat block was a disappointment and the shoutbox was causing too much of a delay in displaying the page. So, for now, I'll just use messaging. Hope you're doing well.

I upgraded webchat to spchat and it seems to work much better.
I found the shoutbox can be a dispay hog, but by deleting the older shouts in the db it speeds it up. Once I upgrade to Php-Nuke 6.5 or Postnuke, I will change the shoutbox code to only display the last few messages and maybe transfer the older messages to another db or something.

how do you like php-nuke 6.5 ver 6.0 and postnuke?

(ps) your discussion board time is wayoff the server time

Personally, I was not in favor of rewriting everything to revolve around phpBB. Don't get me wrong, phpBB is very nice, but, as I said before, I think that was a wrong direction. A portal/cms is the structure, not the all-in-all. It should house the applications not tie you into it. Having said that, it works very well. There have been several issues for many people upgrading, especially if they had a separate forum to migrate. I was one of them and I finally gave up and just started my forums over.

Be sure to consult Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! before embarking on an upgrade. BTW, on nukecops, I am Raven Cool

I'm not very happy at all having the incorperated forum's either. I will not be using the phpBB. I already have the Discus forum and will stick with it.
I will be setting a a test site using a seperate db for test before upgrading to which modules and blocks arebroken and need to be fixed.
I agree Php-Nuke should only be a cms. I not sure what the future of Php-nuke will be if it becomes an all in one.
