Because I got sick about hearing that two days long, I decided to take a look at it. It seems that the latest version from phpBB in the Ports tree breaks with the latest version of PHP from Ports because of some poor written PHP code. On some places, it seems that they pass function output as an argument by reference, which is impossible with the latest PHP. >How-To-Repeat: Install phpBB from Ports. It does install, but gives fatal errors when a user wants to reply to a topic about passing values by reference. This makes phpBB quite unusable. >Fix: http://g-rave.nl/files/ports/www-phpbb-patch-reference I'll mail this patch to the phpBB folks in a couple of minutes. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
