For those who don't know what phpBB is, it's the script responsible for running this forum.
I don't know if the forum is heavily modified or not, but I would like to ask if there is any chance that NFSUnlimited will be upgrading to it.
Of course, it's too early to say anything now. It's just the first release candidate, and a few more RCs are coming before the official release.
The new phpBB 3 offers much more without any modifications done to it, such as post-reporting functions, friends/foes list (buddy and ignore list), BCC options when sending a PM, global announcement (it's an announcement displayed on all forums), sub-forums (this is probably the best thing they added), attachment function (what you see here is actually added through a modification), more signature options (ability to display flash objects), custom BBCode (you can make custom BBCode in ACP), and much more.
Some sites are already running it. The official site at phpBB.com has already upgraded, and you can take a nice look at how it displays forums and posts. Really neat and nice.
There isn't an option to prevent outside links for images in signatures by default, but that's nothing that a custom modification can't fix.
Bojan might want to look at this.
It should take a while before NFSUnlimited should actually upgrade to the new version. Right now it's not the official release, everything is not finalised yet. And we should wait for a few weeks after its official release for it to be stable, since we have a large community using the forums.
