Upgrade to phpBB?

Are there any plans to upgrade the software backing the Forum? I ask because I use Mozilla, which has a neat toolbar called the Site Navigation Bar. This is a toolbar that allows going forward, back, and up/down w/o using the links on the page. I can use this feature on other forums with later versions of the phpBB software, but this one doesn't have that functionality. Or maybe it is an option that needs to be turned on.
Thanks.

Already did - on 1.7 now.
I'm not talking about the regular forward & back buttons. This is the Site Navigation Bar. View|show/Hide|Site Navigation bar. Buttons are:
- Top
- Up
- First
- Previous
- Next
- Last,
and a couple more. It's great for sites with a heirarchical structure or lists of items - like BB's. But only if the site is built to use it. I think the later phpBB versions are, since a bunch of otehr BB's I am on are good with the toolbar, and the only difference I see is a newer rev. of the software.

Main Toolbar:
View|Show/Hide|Site Navigation Bar
Choices are on, off, and As Needed - Mozilla detects if the site can use it and reveals the bar.

I'm really struggling with the phpbb software. HTML it ain't! Slowly, I'm getting closer to trying to make some changes, the first of which will probably be upgrading to a newer version of phpbb, since the site is 2 or 3 versions behind. No promises, but stay tuned.
