Why don't you just grab the beta - it's really stable

Edit: in fact, I can't see much wrong with it (the beta) - and i am using 21" monitor at 1152 x 864, so don't talk to me about pixel width differences in CSS (!)

By the way, as soon as I get some extra dough I'm donating to Rickard & co. What about everyone else? This is a major effort.

Please also note that I am not saying the display order should be taken away from where it is presently, just that it might be helpful if it was also duplicated in the edit forum page.

Pretty much I make the forum structure up in my head, I know where everything is going to go before I start, so the edit page is just facilitating the creation process. But there seems to be an extra step currently in place which could be streamlined.

Eg. Adding a forum to a category. That's one click. I can't name it before I do this, so to name it I have to go into Edit forum page anyway. That's another click. Either I set display order now, and go through another page refresh, or I have to do it after I have edited the forum and come back out again - either way its an extra page cycle.

If I was able to set display order on the edit forum page as well as on the forums page where it is now then I could save myself time setting things up - over 15 forums or so like I set up yesterday, that's 15 page refreshes.

Another approach would be to be able to name the forum on creating it/adding it to the category, which would save me from having to enter the Edit Forum page half the time (access defaults are OK for most public forums, and if I need to set special permissions then it's to be expected that I need to do some extra clicking), and I can set display position from the Forums page as it is at present. That would also save me an extra page refresh.

But it's a small thing. Congrats - very stable beta. Paul's got some funky CSS going on there - I'm learning heaps.

Paul: very weird - did a total uninstall of old Firefox on main production machine, installed 1.0, still got CSS glitch as above. Checked with fresh install of Fox 1.0 on another production machine, no probs. Weird. Must be time for a major disk wipe on machine #1 . . . I'll test any other strangeness out on second machine before reporting from now on. Thanks.

Small CSS glitch:

Forum view in Admin - multiple forums - only using Firefox 0.9.1 - not visible in IE 6.0.28 or Netscape 7.1

Might I add, while I install 1.2 beta, that I use vBulletin for another client's site (I have been working with PunBB since 1.01), and PunBB is getting really close to knocking vBulletin off its perch for pure simplicity and ease of use by users (a lot of my clients' users would be using forums for the first time ever). I am looking forward to user groups in this release, and I hope that the developers really get behind punBB and give it a real shot in the arm. Other scripts would have gone commercial ages ago, and Rickard has done an immense service to the community by maintaining the focus on the project. Paul's CSS looks real funky in the screenshots, so I'm looking forward to checking his work out too.

Well then, that's my problem solved -  I assumed that the board notified the moderator every time a post was made to the board. Thanks for clearing that up.
