hi<br><br>i just register in your forum ... i had these warnings on the page<br><br>----------<br><b>[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice</b>: in file <b>/includes/ucp/ucp_register.php</b> on line <b>169</b>: <b>date() [<a href="http://forum.ipxe.org/function.date" target="_blank">function.date</a>]:
It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are
*required* to use the date.timezone setting or the
date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those
methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely
misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/London' for
'BST/1.0/DST' instead</b><br>

excelent! .. <br><br>take a look of this:<br><br><a href="http://www.forummatrix.org/compare/phpBB+SMF" target="_blank">http://www.forummatrix.org/compare/phpBB+SMF</a><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_%28PHP%29" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_%28PHP%29</a><br>
<br>i like smf, is easier to admin and update (you can update online while in phpbb must download a zip file, copy to server, decompress locally and chown'it, at least in version 2, in phpbb3 dunno)<br>smf have a lot of plugins, all installable online via admin page ( <a href="http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/" target="_blank">http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/</a> )<br>
if you dont use postgresql or oracle you may consider to use smf<br><br>however i know phpbb3 has a lot of enhancements since phpbb2 though<br><br><br>if you need help feel free to mail me<div><div></div><div>

</div>I have experimentally installed phpBB at<br>
<br>
<a href="http://forum.ipxe.org" target="_blank">http://forum.ipxe.org</a><br>
<br>
I have looked into mail2forum as a means of linking phpBB to the mailing list,<br>
but the documentation is non-existent and the tarball doesn't have any obvious<br>
installation instructions. The forum is therefore currently empty.<br>
