I'll probably be updating it for 1.2 fairly soon, but if anyone else beats me to it please go ahead and post. smile

It's the same as the code above, just with a different template for the output.

I like what you've done, care to share the code?

If some of the posts aren't supposed to be visible to users (none of my forums are like this), you can alter the query that gathers the posts accordingly.

Doesn't bother me, this code is GPL (as it must be) so you can post it wherever you like. smile

Hi Bert, I'm afraid I'm not understanding you, but if you're asking about my software maybe we should take the discussion to my forums and keep this topic related to PunBB. smile

Apologies if there is already one of these out there...

I made an Active Topics mod available here:

Where should I look in the code to make these changes?

Hi Rickard, I'm actually in the process of re-writing the RSS feeds to contain more information. I'd be happy to send them to you when I'm done if you think it could be useful. As for the <optgroup> issue, Camino doesn't show them at all and Safari don't indent them properly, they just look like regular options. I know they are the right tag to use, but I have a lot of Mac visitors and I want them to have a good experience.

Thanks for the kind words zc923 and Skye, very nice of you.

I can certainly understand (and commend) the desire to avoid Yet Another Option. I agree that it makes little difference to one level of users, but for newer BB users it might be a material difference. Changing your password is layered under several clicks (Profile, Change password) when you are logged in.

I guess phpBB allows this because it came up today when several people commented they wished it worked that way.

Keep it in mind on the "maybe" list for some future release I guess - I can always hack it into my install if I decide it's worth it.

I've launched a slightly customized version of PunBB to facilitate discussion for my software. I'm working on hooking it up to mailing lists as well to have a nice integrated solution.

http://www.alexking.org/forums/

I really like the product, great job all.

I've searched for this but haven't found it listed (perhaps my search of password AND choose AND register wasn't the right one), so apologies if it's already here and I've missed it:

I'd like to let my users choose their own password when initially registering and activating the user with a magic link in the notification e-mail instead of sending out an auto-generated password.

Has there been any thought discussion on this? Are there reasons this is a Bad Idea that I might be missing?

I'm actually working on a 2 way integration between PunBB and Mailman. Posts in certain forums will also be sent to mailing lists and I'm writing code to check e-mail accounts and add those messages to the appropriate forums (and threads if possible).

I eval'ed a number of systems before deciding I liked PunBB enough that I'd just build the integration myself. smile

I just spent an hour banging my head against the pun_mail() function. Everything looked right, the data was all present when I printed it out, but the darn e-mail wouldn't send.

I finally got it working after adding quotes around the From name. All I did was change this:

$from = $pun_config['o_board_title'].' '.$lang_common['Mailer'].' <'.$pun_config['o_webmaster_email'].'>';

to this:

$from = '"'.$pun_config['o_board_title'].' '.$lang_common['Mailer'].'" <'.$pun_config['o_webmaster_email'].'>';

on line 72 in include/email.php and it works like a champ.

I'm running Qmail on Red Hat.
