Are you sure Mark?
Ain't activation equal to verify registration?
If so check the admin panel -> options -> Registration (one of the last fieldsets).
Thanks very much. I'd have never have found it. Verify registration does it.
Does PunBB support user activation? If so, how do I as admin enable it?
Ah! I think I now understand. There is no control of editing. So a message in a forum closed for posting can still be edited by the original poster.
You referred to a mod. I've search for an appropriate one but no hit. Would it help if I made a request in the Modifications forum?
I still don't understand sorry.
Below is an image of the situation:
I'll email you to discuss further if thats OK?
I have two categories for forums (or is the plural of forum "fora"? 
)
1. Active forum
2. Archive messages
I want to make the Archive messages read only by all "Members".
Logged on as Admin I've used Edit group permissions to untick Post replies and Post topics.
Then logged on as Member I can edit messages I as Member have posted in the Archive messages.
I do not want a Member to be able to edit their messages in the Archive Messages.
How do I do this please?
TIA
Mike
Thanks to all for you help.
I now have a PUNBB forum running successfully on my laptop under WAMP.

OK I have copied content of upload/ to C:\Program Files\e-novative\WAMP\www
but how do I now navigate to the install.php file in that www folder?
i.e. What is the URL for my browser?
Hi
I'm a newbie to all this so my apologies if the answer is somewhere in the forum.
On my local PC I have installed WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) http://www.e-novative.info/software/wamp.php .
Thus far:
I can see the following shortcuts on my desktop:
WAMP Control Center
Target: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start http://LAPTOP/wamp
Start in: "C:\Program Files\e-novative\WAMP\controlcenter"
and
WAMP Web Documents
Target: "C:\Program Files\e-novative\WAMP\www"
Start in: "C:\Program Files\e-novative\WAMP\controlcenter"
I now want to install PUNBB
The PUNBB Installation instructions state:
1. Copy/upload all contents of the directory upload/ into the directory where you want to run your forums.
2. Run install.php from the forum root directory (e.g. open http://mydomain/myforums/install.php in your browser). Follow the instructions.
How do I do this please?
TVM in advance
Mike
Each message is a HTML file and can be pulled out of the WWWboard messages folder.
In principle I believe I could write a program to
- read the data in each message,
- create a CSV file with each row containing the message content
- build a tbl_dump.php from the CSV file with CREATE TABLE followed by an INSERT INTO for each message content.
I could then use phpMyAdmin to create a table of messages.
It would be nice if a conversion program already exists.
The members association that I belong to want to move from Matt Wright's WWWboard to PUNBB.
So all the WWboard messages need to be converted and moved to PUNBB.
I have searched the web to see if a conversion program exists but not found any success so far.
So I may have to write a conversion program myself .... unless of course there is a forum member who has already done this.
Thanks in advanced for any advice.
Mike
