About this board

What this wrapper does—and where Hacker News still begins and ends.

Is this phpBB?

It is not a phpBB installation. It is a live, read-only Hacker News client that preserves phpBB’s browsing model: a board index, forums, topic lists, flat paginated post threads, member profiles, breadcrumbs, and classic board-style URLs.

How does Hacker News map to the board?

Forums: Top, New, Best, Ask HN, Show HN, and Jobs feeds.
Topics: HN stories, jobs, and polls.
Posts: The topic item followed by comments in chronological, flat phpBB order, with links back to each parent reply.
Members: Public HN profiles, joined date, karma, and public activity.

Can I post, vote, or log in?

No. The official HN API is read-only. Buttons that would mutate a phpBB forum link to the corresponding action on Hacker News instead. The wrapper never pretends those actions happened locally.

Why are there Points instead of Views?

HN publishes story scores and comment counts, but not view counts. The forum list labels the real value rather than inventing phpBB metadata that does not exist.
