PLEASE NOTE:

  1. Basic version is made to be as simple as possible. This is however in trade off for lost ability to have phpBB3 installed in other database as Joomla. So if you have Joomla and phpBB3 installed in the separate databases, please consider buying advanced version of a module.
  2. Highly requested "Show post text" option is also available only in advanced versions of a module.
