More information is available at

The support period has ended more than 3 months ago already.
Is SD701 based to version 2.x still?

Unfortunately, it is.

Thank you for reminding. I will find time to test the new software.

What is the situation now?

Forum's footer states "Powered by phpBB © 2001 - 2006 phpBB Group" in October '09.

Will it fix the bug that if one uses the 'font size' in the "BBCode quick Control bar", one gets a set of size=some-color tags instead?
- tiny = darkred
- small = red
- normal = orange
- large = brown
- huge = yellow
Also, the example says "size=x-small", but that is not one of the choices.

To actually get a size one has to specify a point value, such as: size=16. Which is not documented. (Whereas the colour tip of "color=#hexvalue IS documented.) (Aside: why 'colour' and 'color'?)

A good point, but the working and secure platform for the forum is the most important reason to update.

Can you ask help for configuring and testing from some of the SD 701 Forum members, Antony?

I have been quite busy recently. There are a huge number of MODs, including private ones. That's the main issue of delaying.

As for security aspect, there are also a quite a few enhancements added on top of default phpBB software over the years.

Won't be long. Thank you for reminding me again.
