I think i found a bug: in the profile page where you can change your signature (personality), the page is displayed with a huuuuge vertical size in Safari (1.2.3 v125.9).  In Firefox for the Mac, it shows ok.  Maybe the bug is in Safari, but as the CSS has a "bug fix" section, i though i should report it.

You shouldn't have to wait a full day. What download links are you referring to? The beta download link in the first post of this topic?

Yes, i was reffering to the beta link in the first post.  But it works for me now, i have just downloaded it.
Thank you, Rickard!

Hi,
The download links are returning a 404 error (for both in development and beta versions of PunBB 1.2) ...

Please don't lose any sleep over this, it was more of a suggestion to be looked at for PunBB1.2 ...

Looks good, and very promising!

I am waiting eargerly for a Textile mod -  the ] and [s are very awkward to type in my keyboard (a US keyboard emulating a Portuguese one), i almost tie my fingers in knots when typing them.

Hi,
i was reading TextPattern foruns when i came across this thread.  Is there any chance that a "Textile mod for PunBB" will come out?  BBcode is very cumbersome compared to Textile, and Textile suport could be a great addition to PunBB!

I have brought up this topic in WP's foruns.
For one thing, wordpress.org uses miniBB for it's own foruns, and there is constant complaints about this, as it is fast but a little too limited.  One of WP's developers has spoken highly of PunBB in their foruns already, and it seems they are considering an upgrade to punBB there.
"PunBB for WP" would be a dream scenario, but i don't think it would be too hard to get Rickard and the WP team to talk, because the philosophy (sorry for my spelling in english) seems close enough.  And as WP should grow in audience in the short run, it could be good for both WP and PunBB.
I am not a programmer, unfortunately i have no means of even trying to do something like this.

I read the FAQ, but it is about including a footer and a header in punBB's index page.  What i was hoping to do was call punBB from inside my site's index.PHP page.  When i try do do this (setting punroot to the absolute path, so it finds everything), i get a lot of not unexpected "headers already sent by ...", because punBB's header.php is trying to set the headers, which were already sent by my page's index.php.
So what i was looking into was really integrating punBB, not just the looks.  But it seems a pretty big task, and daunting to me.

Hi,
I have my site being run on WordPress, and i am trying to figure out a way of integrating the site with it's punBB forum.  The site's index page is a PHP page, with a "content" div and a "menu" div for the sidebar.  Please take a look here.
Now, i thought of sticking the forum in the content div, and begin fiddling with the design.  Just by this idea you can see i am only an amateur, of course.  So:
- Can i make something like that work?  I mean only work, not look good, that is another problem.  This problem here seems to be that punBB has it's own index.php, and WP's has it's own index.php.  Has anyone done something like this ?  Can i have any hope?

thanks,

Yes, that works!
Thanks a lot, Rickard.

The output was "header.php", on a blank background...
Could this odd beahviour be because i am running this mod (and the test you just told me to) locally, on my mac ?  I can try this online if you think it is worth it.

Thanks Rickard.
I tried it (locally, at home), but it didn't work: the announcement will not show anywhere with this mod.  Which surprised me, i thought it would work...
any ideas?

edit: would you like me to put it online, so you can see it?

Is this Pun Portal idea going forward?  I find it rather interesting.  There doesn't semm to be the equivalent of punBB for CMS around.

Hi,
One user got a little confused by an announcement of mine being displayed on all forum pages.  Is it possible to have the announcement displayed only on the "home" page of my foruns?
Thanks,

Sending it now...
and, no! thank YOU for punBB.

Not really a bug, more a design thing, i supose:
When you have only one category, punBB will show the category title anyway - and there seems to be no way to make that table row go away (without editing the code).  If you have only one category, it might be better not to show a category title, which would be redundant to the forum name, don't you think?
but it's a minor thing...

Hey,
I have just finished adapting mr. Vitor's portuguese language pack to portuguese-brazil.  I would like to contribute it, if it is ok.
By the way, congratulations on punBB, it is 10 out of 10. I have installed and run locally 4 other boards, and none has the perfect balance between features, size and speed that punBB has.  Just perfect.
best wishes

Thank you, the mod is great.  It was a decisive factor in my decision to use punBB.
