The most impressive thing is even though these lists are long, the listed changes are non-exhaustive! Furthermore, phpBB Olympus is able to add these new features yet be faster and easier on the server compared to the 2.0.x line.

Beacuse after typing all that i dont fell like typing all of the downgrades (only a few) that are taking place in phpBB 3

1. NO more logo changes
There will not be an option to change the logo of your board beacuse phpBB 3 and its templates are foudated under the main phpBB logo
