This post is brought to you in conjunction with hotspot shield (because the access issues are continuing) and 11 heavens through which I found a simple fix the the bounding issues with the ablock theme.

According to the 11heavens link, Drupal supplies a css class to fix the bounding issues I was experiencing on this site with the current theme. I have now filed an issue for it to be fixed.

At long last, I think there is light at the end of the tunnel.

This commit should not complete support for importing data from phpbb3 to drupal. This should be available in a HEAD release within the next few hours for people to test out.

So, where are we?

1. The module is much simplified from when I took over in December. This is true both internally and externally as seen by the user.

2. User import for phpbb3 now works. This includes importing passwords, using the phpass module. There is a caveat - workaround also supplied in that link.

The phpBB2Drupal is one of those throwaway module - those that need it will use it once and then ignore it. I took over this module because I had an itch that needed scratching. I fixed a few simple bugs (patches supplied by others) and then ported it to Drupal 6.

phpBB3 Support, other big changes.

Just want to give a shout out to my "new favouritist* module ever": Tribune.

I can't remember exactly how I came across it, but the module and project do a lot of things right:

• Actually explain what the module does at the top of the project page.
• Give a link to a working demo. The fact that it is actually populated is a bonus.
• It is available for Drupal 6 (even though it is a nightly dev release). Always a bonus.
