The Gentoo Big Forum Upgrade
Apr 2, 2026

Gentoo Forums header

It’s taken a lot of time, but we have finally made the big step to upgrade our Gentoo Forums to phpBB3. You will notice a few differences between phpBB2 and today:

  • It’s definitely not Discourse.
  • Everyone must change their password at first login, just to freshen them up.
  • Reports are more private-like now, but we may get the old public reporting topic back later.

Discussion and feedback are welcome on the ‘The Gentoo Big Forum Upgrade’ discussion thread.

At the moment there are still a few know rough edges around, e.g.,

  • Styles may need more or less tweaks, especially the dark one.
  • Some BB codes are missing or/and need tweaking.
  • The only language available is English.

And of course new issues may still pop up. In any case, enjoy the forums!
