These new releases will fix discovered/reported bugs and:
- echoPHP MF 2.0.7 will support phpBB 2.0.23.
- echoPHP MF 3.0.0 RC1 will more stable, ready for production and
  • Supports both of phpBB 2.0.23 and phpBB 3 Gold.
  • Support UTF-8 characters.
  • Members can pay to use their own domains.
  • Members can pay to remove copyright text at bottom of their forums.
  • Cron Jobs to update cache daily, fix forums.
  • Ability to edit/translate MF language without using FTP

echoPHP MF 3 RC1 will require MySQL have to support UTF-8 to support phpBB 3 and multiple languages better. If your server still doesn't support UTF-8, upgrade it.

seeems good, but:
# Forum Admins can pay to remove copyright text at bottom of their forums.
Isn't this already available? Yes, it is. Admins have been able to pay for months now (at least since I started in September) to pay to remove the 'powered by' stuff in the forums. So, what are 'forum admins' paying to remove now?

# Cron Jobs to update cache daily, fix forums.
Cache, ok, maybe. "Fixing" forums? What on earth are you talking about there? Forums should be 'fixed' manually, otherwise you're going to open up a whole new set of problems because of your 'cron jobs'.

# Forum Admins can pay to remove copyright text at bottom of their forums.
I was meant for 'members can pay to remove copyright text at bottom of their forums'. Because some members don't want to see your copyright text. Sorry for this confusion, will correct it.
# Cron Jobs to update cache daily, fix forums.
It will re-create missing cache folders, logo folders, avatar folders, etc of forums. We use this way to decrease server load, MF doesn't have to check folders then re-create missing folders for every request, this also won't slow your forums because of checking and re-creating.

phpBB2 and phpBB3 can't be used on the same domain. If you would like to use phpBB3, use 'phpBB MF.zip' and 'phpBB3.zip'. If you would like to use phpBB2, use 'phpBB MF.zip' and 'phpBB2.zip'.

We are working on 'phpBB2 to phpBB3 converter' for echoPHP MF which will help you convert your all phpBB2 forums to phpBB3. Please patient.

Thank you.

No, you can't do that because RC1 requires many table updates, your MF will work improperly if you try to do it. You have to upgrade 2.0.7 to RC1, download upgrade script from your client area.

Please feel to contact us if you have any questions.

Thank you.
