Heres some information on the new release:
The Attachment System
- Thread Listings
On the thread listings page, if a thread contains one or more attachments, it will show an attachment icon, similar to vBulletin. It will also tell the user (if they scroll over the icon) how many attachments are in the thread (adding up all the attachments in the thread starter and replies).
- Viewing Attachments
When there are attachments on a post, you will see a list of them underneath the post, like most forum softwares. But there are 3 things you probably wouldn't see anywhere else. They are listed next:
- Attachment Comments
You can add comments to attachments such as "Here's a picture of me with Bob!" just so you can understand quickly what that attachment is about. Comments can be 100 characters or less, so the descriptions aren't that long.
- Inline Attachment Moderation
Instead of editing the post to delete an attachment, there is a delete link right beside the attachment itself. This will save moderators a lot of steps.
- Attachment Slideshow View
Instead of the boring old list view, you can also view any post's attachments using FlexBB's one and only Slideshow view. This allows you to view the attachments in a view similar to the Filmstrip view in Windows XP and later. It gives you a chance to view an attachment while still being able to view another without closing the window. The slideshow view uses Large 50 x 50 icons, as apposed to 16 x 16 icons, so please be aware if your wanting to make a template, or something.
Minor Feature Changes
- New BBCode
I have added the [ font] BBCode. It is used in the following fashion:
[ font=Trebuchet MS]Trebuchet MS[/ font]
Without spaces, would appear:
Trebuchet MS
- Better Security, and Some Bug Fixes
I have added some security measures and have fixed some small bugs including the thread not changing place in the Thread Listings after a Normal Member posted.
Template Modifications
The following templates have been modified in this version. We advise you to compare the templates to yours to make sure you don't need to change yours.
fdisplay-thread.template.html
new-reply.template.html
new-thread.template.html
thread-post.template.html
New Images have been added. Also, the following images are no longer needed:

MySQL Changes
ALTER TABLE `flexbb_threads` ADD `attachements` INT( 50 ) NOT NULL ;
ALTER TABLE `flexbb_usertypes` ADD `can_attach` INT( 1 ) NOT NULL ;
ALTER TABLE `flexbb_usertypes` ADD `can_view_attach` INT( 1 ) NOT NULL ;
Change `can_attach` and `can_view_attach` to '1' for each User Group
