Forum was updated and security has been enhanced
Hi everyone,
just spend a few hours updating the forum software, we are once again running the latest version of phpbb (the platform for the forum) and I have made sure the forum is now (only) usable through https - this will ensure that your communication with the server will be encrypted so that others cannot eavesdrop
I have also updated the "recent topics module" to one that is compatible with the latest forum software.
Hopefully the board will run smoothly, I did some quick checks and it seems to be in good order.
So once again: happy posting!

Looks much better on phone now and the problem I have had for years of the text box slowing down as I type has gone. Much needed and much appreciated Daniel. Thank you very much.

OOO looks nicer too! Excellent work!
Does this mean we're closer to getting the forum Tap-a-talk enabled for mobile usage? (helps with photoupload too!)

It seems I am no longer able to use BBCode and smilies, nor am I able to edit or delete my posts... :(

Daniel here - just making a testpost
edit: And we can edit - in other boards this should already work but the announcements-forum has different permissions. I was able to allow editing one's own post :)
edit2: on the other boards you can still use bbcode and smileys, so there should be no showstoppers.
