If I am not wrong, PunBB is dynamic right?
I wonder how come the HTTP Header contains Etags and If-Modified-Since value?

I ask because If-Modified-Since and Etags HTTP headers only supports static files but not dynamic.

I have punbb installed and it's a mess. Now a newer version is out and I had to integrated a lot of mods. It's very confusing to do that.

So I think I might as well do a clean reinstallation of PunBB. Can you please guide me on how to do it? Which files can be kept? As far as I know, config.php is important.

No wonder I couldn't find it. I was searching at punres...
Thanks.

I just tried searching for the plugin but could not find it sad

Any idea what is the name of the plugin?

Okay, I'll try to look for that plugin tongue
Don't want to manually mes with the table.

Thanks Smartys. It seems that you're here all the time big_smile
Keep up the good work.

If I install a new style and set it to default, it will only take effect on the next registered user.
What if I want all my registered user to see the new style? How can I change it? I have 1000+ users, it's not smart to change them one by one manually.

Any ideas? Thanks!

That is weird! I swear that it didn't work earlier today. I've also gotten 2 emails complaining about it.

I did a search and I read something about this today and I made the changes.

* Dns resolved raymond.cc to 75.127.71.130
It wasn't able to resolve the IP address to hostname.

So I ask my webhost to do the PRT changes and it worked now smile
Thanks! Great support and forum script.

Oops sorry. My bad tongue

It's http://www.raymond.cc/forum/

I've also tried entering raymond.cc's own smtp, username and password, still it wouldn't send the registration details sad

I think this problem started when I migrated to a dedicated server. Local SENDMAIL is working fine because I am able to send out emails from Wordpress.

Firstly, someone emailed me telling that they did not receive email containing their password. I thought it might ended up in spam folder. Then I tried registering a dummy account, I too did not get the email. Checked SPAM folder, also not there.

I have the Verify registrations turned on. SMTP server address, username and password are blank.

Any ideas?

There's 2 design on my mind now.

1. Illacrimo
Demo: http://www.wp-themes.designdisease.com/ … /illacrimo
Download: http://wp-themes.designdisease.com/down … r.php?id=4

OR

2. i3Theme
Demo: http://www.mangoorange.com/resources/i3theme/
Download: http://www.mangoorange.com/downloads/i3theme-1-4.zip

I am running blog and forum for my site and I am going to change the design for my blog very soon.

I was wondering if there anyone here that is able to help me make a new style for my PunBB forum base on the design that I already have?
There is CSS for the blog template. It'd be really helpful if you're using it with Spinkbb.

I am willing to pay for your service smile

Do let me know.

Thanks. I will restore it and see how is it...

Smartys, this is what the guys at my server gave me. sponsored1 is my old server and server1.raymond.cc is the new server.

How do I do that Smartys?

Uh oh.. It's Topic Preview...

But can anyone tell me why this problem start appearing after I've migrated to a different server?

This is the culprit! But I don't understand what is it...

29.83341 seconds
SELECT p.message AS fpost, p.id AS fpost_id, v.message AS lpost, v.id AS lpost_id, t.id, t.moved_to, t.last_post_id FROM topics AS t LEFT JOIN posts AS p ON (t.id=p.topic_id OR t.moved_to=p.topic_id) LEFT JOIN posts AS v ON (t.last_post_id=v.id AND t.moved_to IS NULL) WHERE t.forum_id=1 GROUP BY t.id ORDER BY sticky DESC, last_post DESC LIMIT 0, 30

Opps, missed that one out. I've enabled it. Please check it for me? Thanks

Smartys: I've enabled debug mode. When I enter General Forum, it says "[ Generated in 24.319 seconds, 7 queries executed ]". It's definitely slow, but how do I check which specific query is lgging?

sirena: Here are the mods I am currently using. I don't think it's the mods that is causing the problem because it used to work perfectly before the migration.
1. Adsense after First Post
2. PunRewrite
3. Topic Preview
4. AntiBot

Where should I check to confirm the existence of a PHP cache? I got in the Show info but loads of info appearing...
My host is www.webhostingbuzz.com

Thanks guys.

I've just switched to dedicated server, transferred everything using CPanel.

Everything works except when opening a forum is slow.
Try it yourself and you'll get what I mean.
http://www.raymond.cc/forum/

General Forum has the most topics and posts. When I click on General Forum, it takes quite a while to get in. As for forum that has less topics and posts such as Linux, it loads immediately.

This never happened before in my old server. Can anyone suggest what to check? Here is what I get in Admin.

Environment
Operating system: Linux
PHP: 4.4.7 - Show info
Accelerator: N/A

Database
MySQL 4.1.22-standard-log
Rows: 149249
Size: 7.7 MB

Although it says N/A for accelerator, but the tech guys informed me that they've set up eAccelerator.
