Update Sat. 8:35 PM: I must say I got carried away out of frustration about the PHPBB3 in this post. People tend to react like that especially if they’ve lost 2-3 years worth of data over a non-functioning upgrade patch, however I must say that folks on the PHPBB3 have been quite helpful answering our technical questions on their forum, and since this is a GPL software they really have no obligation to spend time worrying about our business. Thank you so much PHPBB3 team and I apologize for over reacting in my 5:00 AM post.

Hello Tazzu,

I have bad news, I spent over 12 hours trying to upgrade the forum and almost every patch failed half way through the upgrade. I did make both file and database backups of the original Tazzu, but for some reason after restoration, many of the topics are no longer accessible.

I do not know what the problem is and I must say I am not by any means impressed by PHPBB3 and their patches. Major fail! I’ve never seen an application bail out on me like this.

It is 5:00 AM right now and I need to get some sleep. I will continue working to see if I can revive the forum back. I really apologize for what happened. Did I mention how much I am not impressed by PHPBB3? I cannot wait till we migrate to Anahita! There we have good code and simple design, and not this spaghetti code with a pretty interface on top that we are using.

Please continue posting the bugs reports, I’m sure they are out there!
