I've recently started using punbb/fluxbb forum software. I'm very impressed with it's relative simplicity and speed.

I'm trying to run 2 forums in tandem on different hosts, trying to maintain a 24 hour uptime ( if one is down etc.)

Would there be any way to merge the 2 databases together without 'breaking anything'? In this way, the forums would appear as one ...

I'm using sqlite2 ... has anybody been merging db's in this way before?
ie. any mods or plugins, perhaps?

Thanks...

Search engines may think forum.banglalibrary.org and www.forum.banglalibrary.org are two different sites.You should set up a permanent redirect (technically called a "301 redirect") between these sites. Once you do that, you will get full search engine credit for your work on these sites.

Due to this error we lose our valuable hits.

We create a new .htaccess file with the redirect code in it. The above mentioned problem was solved. But a major problem arises that no one can not log in or register in forum. Even administration user id was not working.

Then we delete the .htaccess file. After that the login problem was resolved. We try to add this code in the .htaccess.dist, but it also provides no positive result for redirect. How can we use the redirect code?

Please do something about it!

For starters add nofollow to all external links, this will stop the initial people who have a general idea how spam works.
Then if it carries on remove the ability to add a sig or website url when you have less than 10 posts.

Edit:
Spam prepare to die!

A couple of people have mailed me lately with questions regarding the converter. When one of them said that they've bought the converter I asked what he meant as it's available for free here:
http://punbb.informer.com/downloads.php

In the reply I got this link to where the converter is sold:
http://www.jvitals.com/index.php?option … Itemid=153

Agora is the PunBB "version" for Joomla if I've understood it all correct.

I haven't made any development on the converter for at least a couple of years now so it's far from updated. It feels wrong somehow that they're selling a non-updated version of the converter that's available for free... and should be available for free.

Anything I can/should do about this?

All I want to do is get rid of the "Currently installed 7 official extensions. Copyright © 2003–2009 PunBB." below the quick jump drop-down menu.

How would I do this?

EDIT:

And my captcha image isn't showing up either. Can somebody help with that too?

I have installed censoring table and set conf_value=1 for conf_name=o_censoring. After I logged in as admin, I can see all of the filter words. But I have to click update on EACH word, otherwise it won't work. The problems is that I have thousands of words and many databases. So I have to use program to do this job. Please enlighten me how to make it work after I load censoring table and set up config o_censoring=1?
I have deleted all php files in cache directory after I filled up censoring table and set up o_censoring=1. It won't help.
Is there another switch to activate the filtering function?
Please help!
Thanks a lot!

I would like to know if it is possible in PunBB to submit ALL messages to moderation by a moderator (that is, no message is published except through validation by a moderator) ?

Also, is it possible to ban users in PunBB ?

Thanks,
zibizibi.

The Stephen Malkmus PunBB message board has recently been invaded by a very annoying user posting loads of threads with links to porn sites.

I have contacted the administrator of the board to try and get them to sort it out but they seem to have gone awol (they've only posted 8 times in the boards 5 year existence!)

Anyone know if it's possible to allocate admin status to a regualr user who can then sort out this problem?

Thanks,

GWTR!!

I'm thinking of setting up a small site using punBB, but I'm wondering first of all, just how susceptible is it to spam? I don't have time to go through and delete spam posts every day, and when spam does get through, I would hope it can be handled quickly and easily.
How does punBB stack up on this front?

In the accompanying text, it says:

The language packs are compatible with PunBB 1.2 and later.

It seems this is no longer true. Versions 1.3.x seem to require other language packs that can be found somewhere else: http://punbb.informer.com/wiki/punbb13/language_packs
I now get calls for support because I created a language pack for version 1.2 and people attempt to use it with some version 1.3.x.

Could someone please update the information on http://punbb.informer.com/downloads.php to show users where to find their language packs for versions 1.3.x?
