The packages for phpBB 2.0.21 have been updated to address a bug which came to light affecting those forums with multiple languages installed.

If you have not yet updated, the packages available for download already contain this fix, if you have already downloaded the packages and are affected by this issue, details on how to fix it can be found in the release announcement topic.

The changes are small and affect only one file.

We apolgize for any inconvenience this change causes.

Needless to say, we have appreciable works of BB2Nuke by Evaders99 and Chatserv. BB2Nuke for plain php-nuke is the milestone and the basis to allow all php-nuke based forums. The forums powered by BB2Nuke is one of dedicatedly expanding module: more than 5000 MODs for phpBB2 & BB2Nukes.

Unfortunately, as a new BB2Nuke and phpBB2 nuke versions appear, such highly elaborated BB2Nuke forums and phpBB2 forums exerts abnormal forces to site managers. For this reason, most high-MODed BB2Nuke sites are upgraded at tremendiously slow speed. To help such highly MODed bb2nuke forums, as NukeKorea Dev. Team has made a manual upgrader since BB2Nuke 2.0.17. In the same vein, even though the current manual upgrader was detarded, NukeKorea Dev. Network released Manual Upgrader of BB2Nuke 2.0.20 in public.

Note: 

Attention: From the phpBB Group - "We just noticed that some changes were not checked in to CVS and thus been missing within the released 2.0.18 packages. We repackaged phpBB 2.0.18 and also updated the changed files package. Please have a look at the original announcement at http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=336756 for all changes. The files in question are common.php (just one tiny change) and includes/usercp_register.php (several changes).

For all of you having uploaded the packages or the code changes to their sites, please grab the packages again and inform your users about the changes.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We will evaluate what went wrong internally and why this happened.
