We would like to to announce to all of you that we have bought echophp.com and phpBB MF software source from Jennifer. We will continue to develop and support this script. Echophp v2 will be implemented all bugfixes and features that Jennifer listed below:
Jennifer (echo on the old vBulletin forum) wrote:
Bugfixes
Better forum deletion - extra error checking to prevent 2 boards with the same name (ie, name.domain.com and name.domain2.com) from being both deleted
Fix cache not working properly
Better error checking when changing a forum's name to prevent duplicate forums
Fix category description issue that changes a category description to go (should be fixed with the below mentioned AJAX removal)
Fix news bug that does not allow an article to be set inactive
Give the poor manage ads box a title Vrrrooom
Correct the "Sponsered" misspelling in the Ads.template.php file
Look into issues with AJAX not performing the correct action on the correct forum
Remove some unneeded ajax features from the admin area.
Fix issues with MF admin configuration area not updating correctly and/or showing the wrong text in the wrong field
Include www as a disallowed forum name by default
More effiicient coding to reduce overhead
Make currency ($, for example) settable from admin area, as well as the 3 letter currency code (USD, GBP, EUR, etc)
Links to signup, upgrade, and directory (in MF admin area) open in new window)
Make frontend language-based as the mf admin area is
Better Email Options
Clean up code for Email All
Features
Version check - checks for a newer version of phpBB MF when logging into the MF admin area, and alerts if there is a newer version available
Add 2checkout as a payment gateway
Customizable Invoice Prefix
Custom upgrades, defined in the admin area. Define the upgrade, the price, and let your users pay for it using your processor(s) - (this is not 100% for sure; time will determine whether this is added in v2's initial release)
Character encoding configurable from the MF admin area
Add more MF admins with access privileges (possibly) - for example, allow them to view only the forums list.
Grant ad-free impressions to a forum
Optional ads after first post - settable in the MF admin area; this would allow the MF admin to designate whether or not an ad should be displayed after the first post in a user's forum
Per user ad removal (possibly) - Give forum users the option to remove ads for a forum for either a specific amount of time/impressions
Posts/Members listed on main forums page
Manual account activation
Check to see if an email address exists with option to turn on/off
Use top-level domains to host forums with (Please see this post for full disclaimer )
Backup forums into individual files, either by cron job or via MF admin panel (possibly) with some type of restore tool
Display latest x posts on MF domain's front page (possibly - time permitting)
Okay, guys and gals, I've updated the list for the last time, and the above features and bugfixes are what you will see in version 2. Anything marked with a possibly means it might make it into v2's initial release, or it may end up coming out a little bit later, or not at all (<== that should only happen if it's just not possible to get a particular feature to work effectively)
Any MAJOR bugfixes in v1 will of course be taken care of right away and will be offered as updates as usual. Minor bugfixes will continue to be added to the list for v2.
Thanks for all your GREAT ideas!

I've worked out a rough idea on paper of how to get TLD's to work with phpBB MF, so I'm going to add it to the features list
BUT I'm not going to guarantee that it will work, or that it will in fact be in version 2. Just because it seems logical and workable on paper does not mean that it will actually work on a live server
Additional, the license validation may be revised to avoid server downtime.
Because of previous server problem and lack of communication, we will compensate to all owned and leased licenses free upgrade for two months. Please let us know if you have not received your 2 months free upgrade by submitting your ticket to us at http://help.echophp.com
WE WILL RELEASE V2 NEXT WEEK.
Thank you for your support.

Really Sorry! Full test isn't completed yet. Since everything changed (program flow, templates, table prefix and others), I need one week to test and make documentation.

Dear Lobezno!
I understand your expectation and other clients. And i know the current version is very useless so i have decided rewrite the script at all. This delay was affecting to your business and our business very much. I know that and i was trying my best. I can't release the script while it hasn't been tested or completed. We (the new owners) don't want clients become testers or bug discoverers like the current version was doing. Hope you understand.
