Vikingboard

It’s been over a year since the last release of Vikingboard, and from the outside, there don’t seem to have happened much since then. Wrong. While we haven’t released a new version or made any big announcement, we’ve been happily hacking away at the source code all the time, working towards the next big release. [...]

The first beta release of PHP 5.0.0 was released on June 29th 2003, now over four years ago. I remember when PHP 5 was still in the betas, I read articles telling me about all the great new features that would make my life as web application developer so much easier. Now, four years later, [...]

We are in the final stages of the Vikingboard 0.2.0 development, and would like to hear your thoughts about a default set of forum rules and guidelines. So head over to our forums and drop us a line or two. Writing the forum rules, what should be included? Comments are closed for this post. Use the forum [...]

Time to pop open the Champagne, bring out the gigantic cakes and fire up some fireworks! Ok, maybe not such a big deal if you compare the number to something like the download numbers of WordPress or phpBB, but to us it’s a milestone, if not only a small one. Vikingboard has been downloaded over two [...]

Finally upgraded from Wordpress 1.5.something to the new and nifty 2.1. What annoyed me most about 1.5 was that Askimet, the lovely spam plugin, required 2.x, and we got tons of spam. Every day. Spam just takes the fun out of blogging, but that will hopefully get better now :) And if you discover any [...]

It’s been some time since our last update, but here it is. We are still working with the core rewrites, which took a lot more work than we originally thought. The database, template and cache drivers are as good as finished, there’s not much left. Now we’re mostly porting old db and template code used [...]

Vikingboard 0.1.2 has now been released, and should be available for download right now. Vikingboard 0.1.2 is merely an intermittent release to get rid of a few bugs that existed in version 0.1.1, while not making you wait too long for 0.2, and as such, the changelog will be short; Changelog: Fixed bug 1569103: “deleting a topic [...]

New backend Much of the backend is being rewritten at the moment, Tor is doing a great job with the drivers. The database driver is as good as finished, and the cache driver is beeing worked on. The template system is also scheduled to get a major overhaul. All of this should make Vikingboard perform [...]

Finally, after a few months since our last release (we originally said we would release 0.1.1 in “a few weeks”…), Vikingboard 0.1.1 is now officially released. More stable and more feature-rich than ever, we are happy to announce what we believe is ... [More] the best Vikingboard version ever released (yet). Get Vikingboard 0.1.1 here Changelog: Admin CP has [...] [Less]

Today, we have deleted our “Article discussions”-forum from our community forums. Comments to articles should now be posted directly to the article, just as it used to be a while ago. Comments from a user (thanks Ben) made us do this change, and we do agree with him when he said that the “old way” [...]
