Just make sure your own graphics have the same name, the originals had, then you don't have to fiddle with the code.

havben't done it yet, but I'm 99.99% sure that is what you do.

OK, thx. We probably don't have the same forum, since I cannot find those option.

OK, thx for the info. Sounds easy to install. I have never installed anything but a couple of themes and they were easy to install - I hope this is just as easy.

Good to hear it is not buggy.

Just 2 questions regarding security.

1. I have a friend and she started out with a XOOPS site. she liked it, and after a while she changed her forum from NewBB to PhpBB and her site was hacked shortly after.

I have very rarely heard of security issues with NewBB. I hear it was abandoned, but on the other hand if security is near perfect and there are no bug then we don't need it updated for those reasons. only reasons would be additional features. I have to value security very highly.

So, do you know if CBB is built in phpBB and has just as many security issues as PhpBB?

If I said that NewBB is a very secure, simple BB with little support. And CBB is a more comprehensive yet less secure, but has more support, so the security issues are be worked on continuously.

Would that be a correct description?

PS. Does anyone know which CBB-version is recommended for 2.0.13.02 ? I don't really need state o the art, I just need NO BUGS and FULL SECURITY.

OK, thx - I will look into CBB.

Just worried about: bugginess, security and how easy it is to install over newbb.

OK, how about security issues and bug issues.

NewBB seems to run smoothly, but it seems there are lacking abit on the permissions side. Seems there isn't really any permissions control at all for public forums and after all the majority of forums on the internet are public forums - and invision, vbulletin, phpbb etc. all mainly are public and have lost of permissions settings.

If CBB is;
1. At least as secure to use as newBB.
2. Bug free like NewBB.
and,
3. Easy to install.

- I will no doubt go and change to CBB.

Please enlighten me a bit on these points. Thx!

OK, I am using NewBB 1.0 (that comes standard with 2.0.13.1 and 2.0.13.2

Preferences in the forum module seems a little weird. It is almost entirely something to do with how users can be notified of new topics, posts etc. (not really that important imo.).

If you know about where it would be in NewBB, I will be happy to hear it.
