Slowly, I’m getting rid of several bugs in my phpBB code, and implementing new features<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Subscribing to a topic’s feed was crashing if the feed contained a poll; this has been fixed.<\/p>\n

I’m implementing threading and trackback now. In preparation for this, the per-message “reply” button now copies the subject line – just like the “quote” button, but no quote is generated. In the next version, “quote” and “reply” will tie the whole thread together.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the former top-level “reply” button now says “New Post” and will open up a new thread inside the current topic.<\/p>\n

I’ve been getting some comments from people used to standard phpBB forums, mostly complaining about not being able to open new topics.<\/p>\n

My intention is to slowly evolve phpBB<\/a> towards a MovableType<\/a>-like model. Since I’m the principal poster on this weblog and the forums, and other people post occasional comments and suggestions, this seems very convenient; I’m not interested in running a completely open forum with hundreds of topics.<\/p>\n

So, I see my Forum Index<\/a> as similar to a weblog’s categories, and the topics themselves as sub-categories. And the way I’ll do threads and trackbacks will make them similar to in-line comments on MovableType weblogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
