in the database, change the group id of this account to 1

It is possible, just edit the CSS. There is a bit of help there : http://punbb.org/docs/faq.html#faq3_3

remove the config.php file from the forum folder

if you have not changed anything on your website/forum, talk to your host

Not sure this is the cause of yur problem but I think you should not use . character in table name, I would use thefoacl_ instead of thefoacl_forum. as a suffix.

convert to phpbb2 then convert your phpbb2 to punbb

As you hav Firefox, use the firebug extension, it would help you for simple debugging.
The line in the file depends on the mods you have installed
search for:
if ($pun_config['o_avatars'] == '1' && $cur_post['use_avatar'] == '1' && $pun_user['show_avatars'] != '0')
it is just below

try with a correct image url :

[url=http://www.google.com][img]http://www.punbb.org/img/small_logo.png[/img][/url]

Just add the code on main.tpl, before </body>. No need for a plugin

You need to have access to the database and change your account group to the admin one.

Many PunBB administrators want to allow HTML in posts (not BBCode).

I don't think so, most of the forum users have no clue what html is. BBcode can allow to do nearly every text formatting without the security flaws that html editing would create

ok, I learnt a new word smile

its all vanilla.

huh! Am I missing something or you are asking for a problem with the Vanilla forum software?

If your forum is not in English, you need to create the lang file in your language directory

there must be a difference between main.tpl and admin.tpl otherwise you should have the same result on both pages

compare /include/template/main.tpl and /include/template/admin.tpl, there must be omething you modified in main.tpl that you did not change in admin.tpl

Ask your host, it looks like the server configuration has been modified

If you bought the script, ask the company that sells it to do the code

It is not possible as a standard feature and I do not think there is any mod to do it. How would you do to prevent SPAM with such a system ?

The hdiff shows the modifications to the files but you need to run db_update.php (via your web browser) to apply the modifications to the database.

It is not a standard feture but there are mods for this functionnality on PunRes

The converter in the download section should work.
What is wrong when you use it ?

Do you have the allow_html mod ?
There should be no html code, the variable $description that we get from viewtopic with if($post_count == 1) $description = $cur_post['message']; contains BBcode that is removed in meta.php by the function parser_del_bbcode(). if you have html tags in your description that means they were in $cur_post['message'] which is not possible for a standard punBB.

Use a text editor and modify the files corresponding to the area you want to modify.
