I think this is a simple question, I think I might know the answer already but I'd rather ask and be sure than keep wondering for a while tongue
Here goes,

N = size of 'users' database.
If ID is the primary key in the user's database, it would take Big-O(1) to retrieve a user by it's ID whereas it would take Big-O(N) to retrieve a user by it's name.
Now that's what I'm thinking, am I right?

Thank you smile

Hello everyone,

It's been a long time since I've posted, don't worry I didn't forget PunBB, it's still my favorite!

I was installing PunBB today and I encoutered this 'bug' (if we can call this a bug).

When you install PunBB and hit enter on the form (with all the fields filled), with let's say an invalid e-mail address, it will output a warning message.

An error occured.
PunBB reported: The administrator e-mail address you entered is invalid. Please go back and correct.

When you press back to fix the error, the "Start Install" button is blanked out and cannot be pressed again..

Not a big bug, but kinda pissed me off cause I had to re-do the form tongue!

Anyways thanks,

ultime

Hey ultime, corrupting everybody? tongue

If I had started back when I was thinking of it, how much money would I have now?

Your account level would probably be near 1000$..

So you actually paid that much money to them? Seems like a large risk to me, as they can disappear at any time with all your money.

Well at first I upgraded 500$ or so, then I coumpouded my earnings into my account.
For example:
Month 1: Account level 500$, earnings : 150$.
Month 2: Account level 650$, earnings : 195$
Month 3: Account level 840$, earnings : 252$
and so on until I reached 5300$..
The maximum is 20000$ but once you reach it you can open another account, up to a maximum of 4 accouts.
I think I'll personally stop at like 10000$, then cashout the 3000$ monthly.

I totally understand, I do not want to push anyone.
Whatever I say, the final decision is yours, all I can say is that I personally got paid.

Aww, that's one beautiful baby, you should be proud tongue
Congrats! *Hands over an expensive cigar*

I have been with StudioTraffic for a while, and I yes I have received a payment. This month, a 1600$ USD check came right to my door. You don't believe me? Sign Up under my referral link and you'll see my account level (over 5300$). If you know a little about StudioTraffic and use you brain a little you'll be able to calculate if it's actually possible to earn 1600$ per month with my account level. (it is tongue)
If you get your account level way higher you could earn up to 800$ per day (24000$ or so per month!!) big_smile!
Why am I showing you this?
Simply because I want to give you the opportunity to make money like me. If you sign up under my referral link, I promise to upgrade your account 10% of what you upgraded it. For example if you upgraded it by 1000$, I'll give you 100$ free.
Sounds fair? Try it, it's really worth it, and it's working!

Now, I also want to use some of the money I make with StudioTraffic to help PunBB.

@Rickard : If you want to start an account at studiopay (and studiotraffic) I'll send you some money right away, you'll be able to request a check (or cheque, not sure how it's written).
Quickly, StudioPay is the equivalant of Paypal.
www.studiopay.com
Now, if anyone is interested in my little offer, here's my referral link :
[REMOVED]

Just click on register and tell me if you registered, I'll see if you upgraded! Make sure you know what your getting into before upgrading your account, read a little about it, surf their forums, get informed. All I can tell you is that it's legit, I leave the decision to you.

[REMOVED]

Referral links removed /Rickard

I like this idea, very nice.

However, my question is about installation in a pre existing community. Once installed, wouldn't this render all existing accounts unloginable? If the login and username can not be the same, what happens to the existing users?

Perhaps, the login could be, by default, the current username, and it could be changed later..

Damn! Very nice! The frontpage made me go wow! The forums made my mouth open even wider big_smile

It's awesome, I didn't look at the code, but how can you query the database without even refreshing the page? That's crazy!

I can't believe that small piece of text can un/install mods so quickly!
WOW!

It's plain..
It's alright I guess, but there's nothing special about those forums. The style isn't all that great, and well I like statistics so it's definatly not for me smile

Neat, didn't know ImageShack allowed remote uploading.
Good work!

On my old forums (it was quite active)
I had a very trusted moderator that for no reason started attacking my forum.
He ran a script that auto-posted in all forums, so in a few hours (I was sleeping) my forum had millions of spam posts.
I had no choice but to re-install my forums with the latest back-up. It wasn't too bad, the last backup was quite recent.
So yep, my moderator was banned, blocked, quarantined, never talked to him since then.

I don't even know if this should be pointed out as a bug but I will just in case.

If you try sending a post with the username Guest, two errors will come up:

*  The username guest is reserved. Please choose another username.
* Someone is already registered with the username Guest. The username you entered is too similar. The username must differ from that by at least one alphanumerical character (a-z or 0-9). Please choose a different username.

Both outputs are used, I just thought 1 was enough.

As I said, it's a tiny bug, do whatever you wish with this post.

That's actually very simple, you would need to add a new field to your database, for example, "sex".
You would then need a Drop down menu in the "Personal" page of the profile.
Then in viewtopic.php you would need to add "Sex: " with a simple database query that gathers sex information and displays it under "Posts : ".

This question is for Rickard:
If we made a complete rpg game, based on PunBB, would you want to run it on punbb.org, for example, punbb.org/rpg?
Would you help us building it?
Now, take note that I don't want any scrap on PunBB (cause it's so nice and perfect right now smile) so I wouldn't ask you to upload and launch the first version we actually come up with, I want it to be good and a somehow complete before we launch it.

PunBB needs money (as seen here) I came up with these ideas.

1) We, as a community, create a complete RPG text-based game, using the PunBB script. We brainstorm together, everyone can come up with their own idea and eventually we'll come up with a neat idea, and then coders help each other creating a code (PunBB backened) that will end up being put up together, and create something fun.
What will this bring:
- Popularity to PunBB.
- Money off Google Ads
- Traffic
- Fun

2) Again, as a community we create modifications (mods), semi-/professional modifications (or skins) that will be sold on the PunBB index. I'm sure Rickard would be able to come up with a nice and professional explanation on why mods are being sold.
- Money
- Happyness


What do you think?
