I started out to apply it one day and it said that I needed to put the latest phpbb3 on here first. No problem I thought, but then everything crashed badly. Add-ins on phpbb3 don't work like they do on Wordpress, I found out. On Wordpress, an add-in essentially overrides a function of the CMS. So if Wordpress has a function called "PrintStuff", you can create your own "PrintStuff" function and then your's gets called instead of the Wordpress one. Not so with phpbb3. With phpbb3, add-ins modify the actual phpbb3 code files. So then when you do an update, you're obliterating your add-in-modified files with original ones. But then if your add-in has something, like, say, a function call in a master include file to a function that no longer exists, then your entire site crashes when you do the upgrade. So you essentially have to uninstall all of your add-ins, do the upgrade, then reinstall them. So I haven't wanted to tempt fate with upgrading Tapatalk until I can do it late night and have plenty of time (no work the next morning) in case something goes wrong.
