Changes

3.3.20 (24-09-2026)

• updated for phpBB 3.3.18 prosilver — both prosilver template changes are inherited, as pbwow3 overrides neither: login_body_oauth.html (oauth.REDIRECT_URL renamed to oauth.LOGIN_URL, from PHPBB-17659 "Move oauth login to controllers" in 3.3.17) and the new mcp_topic_postrow_post_after event (PHPBB-17661 in 3.3.18)
• fix: contact icons were broken in pbwow3_heroes, pbwow3_overwatch and pbwow3_wildstar — each declared .contact-icon { background-image: url("./images/icons/icons_contact.png"); } without shipping that file, so the sprite returned 404
• removed pbwow3's duplicate icons_contact.png (pixel-identical to prosilver's, only re-encoded) together with all four redundant .contact-icon overrides; every style now uses prosilver's sprite and prosilver's positions. This matters for 3.3.18: PHPBB-17623 "switch twitter to x in profile" replaces the Twitter bird with the X logo and moves .phpbb_twitter-icon from -203px to -202px. Keeping the duplicate would have left these styles showing the old bird while prosilver showed X. Future prosilver sprite changes are now picked up automatically too
• added pointer-events: none to #video-background as defence in depth against the pbwowext click-shield that made static footers unclickable (fixed upstream in pbwowext 3.3.2); placed in pbwow3/theme/extensions.css and pbwow3_heroes/theme/custom.css so both CSS chains are covered

3.3.19 (30-04-2026)

• updated for phpBB 3.3.16 prosilver

3.3.18 (30-04-2026)

• fix: search results no longer stack — switched .search.post > .inner to flex layout so postprofile (23.5%) and postbody sit side-by-side reliably; the searchresults link wraps to its own row below (#27)
• fix: postprofile in search results is now left-aligned (was inheriting text-align: center from the general .postprofile rule)
• removed stale .search .postprofile { width: 30% } rule in content.css of pbwow3, pbwow3_heroes and pbwow3_overwatch (forms.css's 23.5% always won by source order — dead code)
• same flex search-layout fix applied to pbwow3_heroes and pbwow3_overwatch (which carry their own forms.css overrides)
• replaced per-file ?hash=... query strings on @import rules with a shared ?v={style_version} stamp in pbwow3, pbwow3_heroes, and pbwow3_overwatch — one version bump now invalidates all imported CSS files at once, no more per-file hash bookkeeping
