Mind you, the age is relevant in one importance sense: support sunsetting. Support for phpBB 3.1.x ended on 31 January of this year, and I am quite sure that we're using something even older. |

Chrome keeps reporting this page as highly unsafe. When I want to log in, it asks me if I am sure. I think this site should get updated with some fresh "https" protocols. Security is the first priority. Also there should be an option for users to import their own themes (locally). |

Well, https means upgrading hosting (and it's probably an ancient apache2) It could be nice to move from phpBB to SMF of course, but i am dreaming. |

Better security (at least no notorious vulnerability history as phpBB has), plugins/mods. But I really don't care if this forum gets hacked or some functionality is missing, so it's not a strong opinion. |
