The next version of FutureBB is now available! You can download it on the FutureBB website or learn more about it.

The key feature in FutureBB 1.3 is extensibility. With a system of UI "hooks" in place, extensions can easily run code without actually having to modify any files, meaning they are much easier to uninstall and won't disappear when you upgrade FutureBB.

In addition, we have released a new reCAPTCHA extension to help prevent spam on your forums using Google's technology. We have also updated the StopForumSpam.com and BBCode toolbar extensions to work with the newer extension system.

Are there any front-end changes?

Most of the frontend changes are on the admin side. However, on the user side, there are BBCode tables, the ability to send BBCode in PMs, a little bit of BBCode debugging if you make a mistake in your post, and a better timezone system that automatically adjusts for DST if your timezone is set properly.

Quote my post to see the example of the table BBCode.

Nice! I'm definitely going to use it on the new Explore Website!
Also, can I help with the translation of your software?

You're welcome to. Just take the files at this location and translate the values of the array keys. For example, in the "profile.php" file...

<?php
$lang_addl = array (
  'security' => 'Account security',
  'sendPM' => 'Send the user a private message',
  'sendas_admin' => 'Send as admin-issued warning',
  'pm_reply_header' => 'Replying to message at $1:',
  'showallposts' => 'Show all posts',
);

if I were translating into Spanish would be something like this:

<?php
$lang_addl = array (
  'security' => 'Seguridad del usuario',
  'sendPM' => 'Manda un mensaje privado',
  'sendas_admin' => 'Manda como aviso de un administrador',
  'pm_reply_header' => 'Respondiendo al mensaje de $1:',
  'showallposts' => 'Muestra todos los mensajes',
);

  'sendPM' => 'Manda un mensaje privado',
  'sendas_admin' => 'Manda como aviso de un administrador',
  'pm_reply_header' => 'Respondiendo al mensaje de $1:',
  'showallposts' => 'Muestra todos los mensajes',
);

Thank you, I'll take a look at it later.

why are you using array()? just use the shorthand array declaration []

I use it for compatibility and because it's a lot clearer.
