No, stay with v1.6 because this is beta version and have few errors need to be fixed like the following
viewtopic.php?f=49&t=4747

Update

This will help you fixing the problem:
When I removed the Latest news module also Global announcements can cause that, the error doesn't show anymore (Offset must be an integer)

Hello,

I tried to move up "Link to us" but it stuck and can't pass "Top Posters"
Also are you close from finding "utf8_strpos: Offset must be an integer" error?

Regards.

Thanks for your answer Marc, I will be waiting for the fix.

Thanks for the great work.

Hello, I'm not sure what I did, the portal was working just fine but now when I access to the portal I get this error: General Error utf8_strpos: Offset must be an integer What can cause this error? Also another question, what is the use of board3_menu"_1"? can't it just be board3_menu? Ed...

Nice
When the new version will be released?

Can you maybe give me an idea on how to make it possible?
like table need to be created and any informations that can help me to develop it
My php knowledge is not bad I think that I can do it.

Sorry I don't understand ...
maybe the first question is not clear, what I meant is adding html blocks from the acp, better then making files...

Hello,
It is possible to make some edits so we will be able to add unlimited HTML blocks?
Also, it is possible to add a new feature that allow to move blocks? like the GF-portal in phpbb3
for example:
Move the block to the centre/left/right side

Regards.
