There's an echo in here...
I logged in today to find that all my previous posts in these forums have been inexplicably doubled. Yes, every single one. And I think this one will be a double post as well, but the fact is that I’m not doing it.
What’s going on here?

OK, thanks Mary, at least I know I’m not going crazy… ;)

I’m waiting for phpBB 3.
So are you planing to change to phpBB from PunBB for this forum Mary?

Re: There's an echo in here...
That’s what I’m thinking at this point. We’ve long outgrown PunBB, which is only intended to be a very minimal, no-frills product. It’s just a matter of what to switch to.
Edit: bah, the new permissions system of phpBB is over-complicated. Back to maybe using MyBB.

One can say the same about Textpattern, should I switch to Joomla! ;)
It would be sad to see this forum go towards something more heavy, I really like the speed of PunBB. I have used every forum out there, whether Open Source or for pay, nothing has convinced me that I should give up speed for more features.

Everyone likes something that both works and meets the needs.

Over at CJB, we started out with phpBB, then migrated to SMF. Those were OK, but seriously slow and bloated. When the servers crashed, I put a few words in for punBB, which rocked (so much faster). Unfortunately, the members didn’t like the recent posts feature, so we’re back to SMF :(.
I like punBB for it’s speed. The only thing it does need is a “Show new posts since last visit” (a better working one like SMF, I guess—that’s what everyone complained about on CJB). It might be nice to clean up the forum though, and start fresh.

PunBB 1.3 will address this.
I also felt kind of weird coming from moderating a phpBB forum to help out on a PunBB forum. It took me a few weeks to get the hang of it, knowing how to enter the forum – Show new posts since last visit – is half the battle.

How have we outgrown it? What do we need that, say, TextDrive doesn’t?

And that’s the point. It’s a simple, elegant solution that does just what a forum needs to do and no more, which compliments nicely the Textpattern ethos.
Please don’t change the forum to one of the PM / IM / poll voting bloated alternatives (which is pretty much all of them in my estimation).
