If that’s so then why was my avatar rejected when it was only just over 19KB (I got a error back saying that the avatar had to be between 1 and 19KB) which meant I had to drop the compression down one setting just to get it to go (which is now making me regret installing corel snapfire since it hardly has any good features)
It would be nice to have “Fast Reply” (IIRC phpBB have it, although it is disabled by default).
Color-schemes can be changed quickly by installing “skins” (and you can define if users can change it or just use a default one)
IMO, I think that phpBB lacks some cool smileys - the default ones are weird, although its pretty easy to import new ones.
