Hm.. must have messed something up here. I get the controls ok but when I go to move a post I land on a blank screen. No errors - just a blank screen. Suggestions?

v1.2.10

I'd really, really, really like to have this functionality. I modified an ealier ver of Pun to do this but lost the mod when I upgraded to 1.2.7. Rickard, if you don't want to make a standard offering, what about building an Admin plugin?

re: plugins not mods

Ya. I realized that right after I submitted the post.

I'll try that. It just bothers me that the upgrade didn't take or messed up the install.

Ah... got it. Thanks!

I've downloaded and installed v1.2.7

The changelog indicates a few vulnerabilities were fixed. Are we reasonably sure that this latest version is tight without the need to add the security mods posted earlier in this thread?

I didn't say I need it. I said I prefer it! It's personal choice. My previous message explains why.

>> You have to agree with talonhawk that e-mail notification of new private messages is silly?

I'm sorry but I totally disagree. A private messaging system that notifies me when I get a private message is a great tool. For example, perhaps I've sent a PM to someone to initiate a conversation on some topic. I run my own business so I can't sit there and wait. I'm off doing my work. But I check my email regularly - it's part of my job. So when I see that email from the Board telling me I've got a PM I know the person has repsonded. And I can then make time to go read it.

Also, a PM system isn't just about convenience, it's also about creating stickyness for the forum. And stickyness is good. People have to come back to the forum to get their messages. We all want our members to participate and giving them reasons like having private messages to read is as good as any other reason - if not better.

In fact, I participate on another forum where we call it stickymail. It's a highly valued addition to the board. For those of us who participate there often (I'm a mod) it's a great way to communicate about things we don't necessarily want in public.

And PM is a great way to remain anonymous if need be. Private messaging is a great way for us to communicate in private without revealing our contact info. People can converse in private without revealing an email address or personal name if they want.

Anyway. My 2p.

For the bots that DO follow the rules you should use:

<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,FOLLOW" />

which will tell the bots not to index the current page but to follow the links on the page to other pages.

For those bots that don't play nice I ban them using htaccess.

Re: why? I don't need my bandwidth being eaten up by a rogue bot, email harvester, website whacker, or some wannabe hacker chewing through the pages on my forum.
