I've been toying w/ the idea for this site for a while. Tried a few OS forum builds, but I was never satisified until finding PunBB. You guys have done a heck of a job!
Let me know what you think:

It's simple and nice, right to the point.

Nice, quaker. I'll keep an eye on your computer deals! It seems the rss feed aggregator you're using uses SimplePie. Just beware, if you end up parsing a lot of data: http://codeninja.de/simplepie_vs_magpie/. Maybe, when I get a chance, I'll offer the same mod using Magpie or one of the faster RSS parsers.

Thanks for the check; and thaks for the website--didn't know about that one: very handy.
Now, how about getting users to register/visit/participate in the site? Any recommendations there from the more experienced forum admins?

theadminzone.com is always a great resource for that sort of information.
OK, things are going a better in terms of hits to the site, just not getting anyone to register and post. I had one guy email me telling me he couldn't post. Would one of you mind going through the reg. process and posting, and then letting me know if it was successful? I've tried it on my computers, but I'm behind one IP. Don't think it should matter. And no, this isn't a way to get people to register, if you tell me to, I'll delete your account and post after you comment on whether it was successful.
Also, does anyone know of a way to external links to popup in a new window? Is there a mod for this?

i've registered but haven't recieved an activation/password email yet. i'll post back when i do.
Hmmmm, I registered with my school account. It worked. I registered with my gmail account, and I'm not getting the confirm. Any clues? I'm going through the PHP now....

There we go. My emails to gmail just came through too; delayed for some reason. Odd.
Thanks again! Going to implement links in new windows.....
And done. Also added some code to check whether the link is from my url. If it is, don't use Javascript.
OK, a couple more mod questions: I turned off email confirmation on my site, so that users could set their own passwords. But I still want a confirmation message sent before they can start posting. Is there a way to do this? I've searched the forums and am at a loss. Do I have to code it myself?
Updated the look. Let me know what you think.
subtle but nice.

Thanks, Doc. I appreciate all the help!
