I have been using phpBB for my Japanese site’s messaging board system. In fact I have been customizing the heck out of it. (The biggest change that I made of all is it uses utf-8 encoding instead of shift-jis or euc encoding) But it was came to my attention that the version I use has a security hole, so I had to upgrade it. That was a nightmare. So this is just an upgrade memo to myslef…

• Re-install new theme, files are in (phpbbroot)/template/(themename)
• (phpbbroot)/language/lang_japanese folder is customized. Put back up in there.
• Avatars and rank images goes in images folder
• Mod called topics anywhere installed (in syndication). topics_anywhere.php on phpbb root, rest should be already in theme and language folder
• Mod called “Latest active topics on index” (in syndication)
• Mod called “Anti Spam Bot” (in security)
• Finally Mod called “Post Sort Order” to reverse the order of post in the topic. (I wanted to have new ones first)
