Now we are back in order. Not sure if we were successful because of some strange settings of ftp.

Unfortunately because of other stuffs in reallife (mainly on my part), the planned shot-down of the forum has been postponed to Friday (today!) from 22.30 CET winter time, expected for 4 hours. Thank you for the patience.

Forum engine has been successfully updated, thank you for the patience. ;)

Edit by Ivo on DXTR's request:
we solved the e-mail trouble, so now would all users see mails of other users, if the users allowed it in their control panel;
we think, that the problems with some display errors are caused by search bots, who can cause the distortions under phpbb3, but they are not real harm, we limited them little bit anyway and we updated the forum engine too, hopefully it will help little bit;
also some features were added e.g. birthday board and we have new banner, we hope that it's displayed correctly for all. ;)

I can't see the banner, even after a Ctrl + F5 hard refresh...
