I am not sure I am in the right place..But is this where I can ask my "stupid" questions about PunBB?
I just installed the forum this morning, and I am far away of being a webmaster, so I am having some little difficulties.
May I ask questions in here then? 
Sure, ask away
Alright :-)
Get prepared for some "easy" questions, that may sound dump to you :-)
1- Why does my registration form differ from the one you have in here? Mine makes the user registered right away, no mail sent, nor many pages to submit. You can choose the password, it's not imposed!
2- How can I make a member be an admin or mod?
3- What's pruning? o_O

Well, that would be because this forum has confirmation turned on. This implies that all users signing up need to click a confirmation link and use the sent password the first time they sign up.
2- How can I make a member be an admin or mod?
As an admin, go to their profile and click Administration
3- What's pruning? o_O
It's the process of removing posts older than a set time.

And how would that be set?
Wouldn't it be better if users choose their own passwords but then just can't post till they receive an activation link? Is that possible with PunBB?

Ca marche! Thanks :-)

I don't want that! It's not done automatically, right? I didn't set any number of days.
But there is a "yes" for this "When enabled sticky topics will also be pruned.". Should I change it?

I doubt you can do that. It's not too hard to copy your given password once and then change it

It isn't done automatically So no worries about any settings.
Alright for pruning.
For registration, I was asking about how to set the confirmation like in here to get a password, and then change it. Because I said, for me it's plain simple!
Thanks for your support, really
Tell me :$..Isn't there any feature to add smilies and all the bold/italic/underlined and font thnigies?
Hi,

Oops! I hate when it happens. I really went through all the corner in the administration part this morning, and I made sure I read most of the FAQ. Shame! Hope I am not giving you so much trouble!
Sure, just install the Easy BBCode plugin. It (and many others) can be found over at PunRes.
I just went to check that link. I am still unfamiliar with all this.
I am at: http://www.punres.org/desc.php?pid=50..I can't see where I can download it o_o
Please bear with me :'(
Hi again
I have been busy with studies and didn't get to do much about my forum. It still has very few members and giving me some time to get used to it.
I was wondering how to move a post from a topic to create a new one.
(Don't tell me it's mentioned somewhere and I missed that!)
Thanks again.
You mean take one or more posts in an existing topic and make them into their own topic? That's not a feature of PunBB by default I'm afraid

That's what I meant..And too bad! 
What about having an extra statistics line in the bottom showing the most users ever online at once?
That's a mod as well
That's a mod as well
Er..meaning?
Meaning that functionality isn't in PunBB by default and you need to install a modification to get it
Is there a list of mods possible to be made, and explained in small words for newbies please? I'd appreciate your help
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for
Anyone can make a mod to do anything. If you're looking for released mods, take a look at PunRes
