Re: PunBB is too simple
thats kinda the idea:
Why PunBB? wrote:
The idea of PunBB was first born when I wanted to install a discussion board to a website I was tinkering with. After an exhaustive search, all the boards I found were either over-featured or too graphic for my needs. I wanted a package that
* was fast.
* had a simple layout and design.
* was easy to administrate and moderate.
* didn't output huge, non-valid, HTML pages.
* had source code you could read and understand.I looked and I looked, but it was nowhere to be found. Thus, I started working on PunBB, or just Pun as it was called back then.
Developing software to "please the masses" isn't difficult. Just cram in every possible feature you can think of and most people will love it. Some people, however, will hate it and look for alternatives. The problem with developing for that other group of people is having to make decisions on whether to implement a feature or not. What is a "must-have" and what is not? Some features that I have so far chosen not to implement are: private messaging, file attachments in posts, definable user groups, polls, post preview, linking to off-site avatars, advanced text formatting controls, subforums etc etc. Some of these features might still get implemented, just not in the near future.

Re: PunBB is too simple
I like PunBB because it is simple, clean, and fast. There are plenty of heavyweight forums out there for one to choose from if they like big and bloated software.
I like Invision in the heavyweight forum category.
However, my preference is to stick with Pun for my own stuff. It's like a breath of fresh air!
If its cheaper to run Windows than it is to run Linux, how come Microsoft has all the money?
Re: PunBB is too simple
PunBB is not simple enough in my opinion.
I would like to have an option "superlight" with the ability to:
- Allow non registered users to post
- Switch every html options off: bbcode, smileys, ... and labels on the left
- Hide poster informations exept the name
An option for people who just want to write something and click. Perhaps a plugin could do this ?
Re: PunBB is too simple
1. Admin-Permissions set Guests to allow posting
2. Admin-Options :: Display - Smilies off
(and the bbcode stuff you can do by editing parser.php I think)
and on the 3 ... that require some more editing, mostly in viewtopic.php I think ...

I love Pun, but not only for the technic side.
I love Pun also because of the soul and spirit of it .
I downloaded Pun, installed it and it works. I asked help from the pun forums and i got it.
