Re: photojojo forum... punBB totally tweaked

Very innovative tweaking of punBB's interface. I thought I'd landed on another forum aside from a punbb  - ie Vanilla.

I really like the speech balloon effect in viewtopic.php. Cute!! and very friendly.

I don't mean to be a grinch, but the downside is that the forum is very, very slow to browse, even the home page - before you open up a topic and start sucking down big photos.

When I did try to browse topics, I had to give up on trying to open up several topics as after for eg 5 minutes my browser had still only loaded about 20% of the page sad

Even the forum home page at http://photojojo.com/forum alone is about  320k, and with its

I think some optimisation can take place, perhaps on the following elements:

1  12372  CSS  http://www.photojojo.com/styles.css 

http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze is your friend smile

But yeah, I like.

Would like it more if I was on a T1 though... smile

Re: photojojo forum... punBB totally tweaked

It's great to see a punbb transformed and made to look completely different.
Kudos on the design part aswell, it looks fantastic.

Re: photojojo forum... punBB totally tweaked

Awesome looks (and functionality), but what happened to the PunBB copyright notice? Or am I missing something?

As I have been getting a few questions about this, I thought it would be a good idea to straighten a few things out. FAQ inspired by a post in the phpBB community forums.


Q: May I remove the copyright from the page footer?

Yes, but please don't. If you must, please try to keep at least "Powered by PunBB" with the link to this site intact.


Q: May I add my own copyright to the page footer?

Yes, but you may not alter the original copyright in such a way that it loses it's original "meaning". It must, in other words, still be absolutely clear who is the copyright holder of PunBB. Adding an additional line with your copyright notice is ok.


Q: May I remove the copyright from the source code?

No. The copyright notice in all the source files must be left intact. Any modification or removal of this copyright is illegal under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence.

Re: photojojo forum... punBB totally tweaked

If you create new files containing your own code only, then the copyright on those is yours. If you create new files containing existing code, with your own code added, then both copyrights should be contained within the script. If I remember correctly, that is. smile
