Topic: Help with FAAQ questions

I'm gonna write a FAAQ (Frequently Asked and Anticipated Questions) for PunBB tomorrow. The document will be distributed with PunBB. I need some help coming up with good questions though. This is what I've come up with so far:

1. Sometimes usernames are underlined. Why?
2. I keep seeing messages like "Bad referer. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source.". How can I get rid of them?
3. How come I can't login with Internet Explorer 6?
4. Where do I grant a user moderator access to a certain forum?
5. How do I enable "DEBUG mode"?
6. I want to display information from the forums on my site front page. How can I do this?

I will gladly accept suggestions on more questions to include in the FAAQ.

-I log in, and it says "Logged In Successfully, redirecting...", but then I still won't be logged in. Why?

Isn't that the same as question 3 above?

Couldn't that happen with any browser if you had cookies turned off or if you were using a cookie killer of some kind?

Re: Help with FAAQ questions

Oh, the way you put it, you made it sound as if the problem was Internet Explorer.

The thing I was referring to was the framed redirect and cookie problem

If you have the knowledge to turn off cookies or to use a "cookie killer", I believe you will also understand that that might be the reason you can't login.

Well, the frame redirect domain issue only applies to Internet Explorer, so yes :)

Yeah, but I'll probably do something more general about BBCode.
