Introducing the Real Upload Progress Bar for PhpBB3 v3.0.x
This mod will give your forum uploaders a progress bar that really works unlike the prepackaged progress bar included in the standard subsilver theme which ‘pretends’ to show you upload progress.
Demo site:
phpBB Real Upload Progress Bar mod demo is available here
login : test
password : tester
Dynamic upload details available include :
- percent uploaded
- upload speed
- average upload speed
- estimated upload finish time
The Upload Progress Bar makes use of the lightweight JQuery javascript library to display the information to the browser, and for maximum efficiency it is only called when a user makes a post in your forum.
Download the mod below and follow the instructions found in the install.xml file.

Updated PhpBB3 Upload Progress Bar to v2.0.1
I cant thank enough to you for this awesome mod.
But with the version 3.0.7-PL1, when installing it from AutoMod, it says it cant find directory, style/prosilver/template/post_layout.html …and so on.
Looks like they have made a change in directory constructure in the new verison.
“style” is now “styles”
Thanks in advance.
Thanks. alot. Worked fine on my website
