What I did was make different register.php's that have the language tag hard coded at the top, and then link to them from the first page, or from the English text that shows when the user is not logged in.

Re: Compressed CSS (10 replies, posted in Feature requests)
The better way to do this is:
Keep a readable copy of your css in separate .txt files.
Run the production copy of your .css files through:

Instead of hiding your code and not sharing before you feel like it is stable, how about posting it so that we can help out with bugs as well.

Re: newsbot - post RSS news (28 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
Thank you so much. I hope you fixed it after dinner. 
Also, what is needed is a $db_prefix = 'pre_'; variable, as some people use database prifixes.
Regards.

Re: Req:Multilanguage (7 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I have converted almost all of the available language files to utf-8, and will be making all of them available soon.
However, we need the default in punbb to be utf-8.

I can't understand why the "English" language file is not set to UTF-8, as is now standard with just about every other PHP script I use (Wordpress, Wikimedia, etc.). Please change this!
Exactly!

Re: Is it a BUG? (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Why not make English (and others) default to utf-8? That would solve a lot of issues people are having.
Since pubBB is so internationalized, there is no reason to keep things legacy encodings.
Making it consistently utf-8 is easy and is the right thing to do.
As for English, simply switching to utf-8 adds no additional data, because utf-8 ascii data is the same as regular ascii. There is no difference in English text in plain ascii and in utf-8.

I don't know that there is really any sort of plugin which would make the forum readable by a newsreader (I presume you mean a USENET reader,
Yes, it's what I say.

I did some php file, to reproduce the nntp command (like "group", "article", etc...). And a program, run on my PC, to transform nntp protocol to http. Now I can read messages dirrectly in my newsreader
This is very handy. Could you please post the code?
