I don't know what is the cause. Looks like the content of manifest.xml is corrupted. Try to delete all files in the 'extensions' directory and upload them again.

If this will not help, please, answer some questions. What PunBB version do you use? Is it exactly 1.3 RC2, or the last version from SVN? Maybe you have a hosting with non-standard settings? Is the XML support enabled in PHP (for details: http://www.php.net/manual/en/xml.installation.php)?

Seems that you have these files:

WRONG

.../punbb/extensions/manifest.xml
.../punbb/extensions/image.php
.../punbb/extensions/lang/English/pun_antispam.php
and so on

But you should copy the files this way:

RIGHT

.../punbb/extensions/pun_antispam/manifest.xml
.../punbb/extensions/pun_antispam/image.php
.../punbb/extensions/pun_antispam/lang/English/pun_antispam.php
and so on

Also, the 'extensions' folder must contain a folder for each extension. For example:

.../punbb/extensions/pun_pm/
.../punbb/extensions/pun_antispam/
and so on

I took the image.php file, the .js file and what ever else and placed it in the extensions folder, then took the file within the Lanf/Eng folder iand placed it in the appropriate folder.

I think the mistake is here. You just have to copy (or upload) the folder with extension files. For example, you have a forum in '/home/public_html/punbb' directory. There are some files and directories in this directory. The 'extensions' directory must be there. After copying new files must have the following names: '/home/public_html/punbb/extensions/pun_antispam/manifest.xml', '/home/public_html/punbb/extensions/pun_antispam/image.php' and so on.

I should clarify the situation with the extensions. Most of extensions have been developed for an old markup and they are (partially) compatible with PunBB 1.3 RC. They may not work correctly on 1.3 RC2 since markup and some hooks were changed. We have updated pun_antispam and pun_pm extensions and they can be installed on 1.3 RC2. So if you have 1.3 RC2, you have to download fresh versions (use links 'Download in other formats: Zip Archive'):

I've modified the code to avoid CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION constant using. But I'm not sure that get_remote_file() will work properly in all cases. Please, test this new version.

what about 1.2.20 to 1.3RC2?

Procedure is the same. Just don't forget to backup your PunBB files and database. But all your mods installed will not work on 1.3.

It is not recommended to use 1.3 RC2 in the production mode. It still contains several bugs (including reported above) that are to be fixed in 1.3 final release.

Is this punbb release based on the fluxbb subversion version?

Partially. We have developed PunBB 1.3 keeping an eye on FluxBB development. Some changes have been imported, we have made the others. See Trac timeline for details.

We have started to develop pun_antispam extension. It is based on the rei_captcha extension.

See the pun_antispam specification.

Download pun_antispam.

Thanks for your report, it will not be easy to fix this bug. But I can give you an recommendation.

Before updating pun_pm just disable it (Administration -> Manage extensions, click on "Disable" link). This will help while either updating with pun_repository or manual uploading a new version.

Remember that you shouldn't uninstall pun_pm if you don't want to loose all users' messages stored in DB.

Here is an instruction that fixes the issue:

1. Open manifest.xml in pun_pm directory.

2. Find the following code (lines 73-77):

WRONG:

'body'        => array(
    'datatype'        => 'TEXT',
    'allow_null'    => false,
    'default'        => '""'
),

3. Delete the "'default' => '""'" line.

RIGHT:

'body'        => array(
    'datatype'        => 'TEXT',
    'allow_null'    => false
),

Or you can just download the new version of manifest.xml from svn.

Thanks for your report.

There are many reasons, of course. Everything depends on what forum you are using now. PunBB is faster and easier to use than many other forums. PunBB 1.3 in comparison with 1.2 has the extension system and supports UTF-8.

Together with advantages there are disadvantages in PunBB. Some of them are eliminated in 1.3, others have to be eliminated later.

Historically OOP wasn't used for speed reasons (that was made the corner-stone). And though an OOP-code would be more structured, nevertheless we try to keep the code easy to read and understand.

Yes. On the other hand we've decided to make the PM page as a subsection in the Profile. The id makes PM-links similar to other links in the Profile section.

I think this idea isn't as good.

There is quite a simple logic. Near the link "New posts" should be displayed a text that tells user how many unread messages he's got. It would be nice if this text were the link to the user's inbox.

Administrator can easily add links to the main navigation menu (Administration -> Settings -> Setup). "Private messages" could be one of these links if this is required.

This is my private opinion. Feel free to give your reasons.

Update. The described way doesn't work. The link to the user's inbox contains the user's id. This id сhanges from one user to another. Probably we should think about removing this id.
