I did notice the story over on the SMF forums but there was little background I could find as to what the problem was. From the posts of a lot of users few people seem to know what is going on apart from an internal restructuring. Wonder what [Unknown], the guy who originally converted YABB to PHP, thinks of it all.
If they do go to pieces I'll probably carry on using this version until an exploit I can't fix arises. At that point I will probably look at
www.opensourcecms.com to see what alternatives there are. Originally I used Phorum but decided it was to basic. I used UNB on my
old site forum. It looks good but again is only basic. I used phpBB for years but the fact you have to manually mod it and then manually update or remod after each update puts me off along with how confusing and spread out it's admin is. I also cannot believe that phpBB 3 still does not employ AJAX.
esoTalk has some nice features but, again, is a little basic and I don't feel it is suited for my needs. So who knows. There is always MyBB but some of it's bugs seriously put me off.
