Every place where you can't say with 100% certainty that the value will never contain HTML, etc
So, echoing an int stored in the database? Don't bother.
Echoing a string? Use it

Re: Improve search? (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Exactly, the queries are run as fast as possible, which may not be what you want... Reindexing is extremely hard on the sql server, personnally i would prefer having the reindex process take more time with less load on the sql server.
But weren't you saying that reindexing was taking too long? 
Believe me, when the reindexation process takes several DAYS, you don't want to let your firefox open. Moreover, imagine you have a network failure within these three days, the reindexation process just crashes, and you will have to restart it manually where it had stopped. Same if your firefox just crashes for some reason...
Same if your server restarts for some reason 
You should try to reindex a big forum with the current system
How big? I reindexed a 150k post forum in under a day

Re: Contest based on number of times page is accessed (3 replies, posted in Programming)
A couple questions
- where is $username set?
- why not simply keep a counter, increment it, and decide what to show based on the value of that?
- is this seperate from PunBB or does it use PunBB's user system

Re: Editing Styles after Installing (3 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)

In order to add a new style/skin you have to use the AP_Style_Installer plugin.
Well, no, styles are simply a file uploaded to the style directory. I don't know what the Style Installer plugin is, but I assume that's all it does
Burnsy86 wrote:
Well if I install a new style, can I edit the CSS and then just FTP overwrite the old CSS or would I have to install the new style all over again?
For example:
I installed a new style that was green and yellow. (not really, but thats just an example)
Then, after it was installed, I decided to change it to green and grey.
Could I just overwrite the old CSS file or would I have to install it all over again?
So yes, just edit the CSS on the server

The queries are already run as fast as possible and you can control how many topics are indexed in one pageview. And running from a shell is not something everyone can do. I don't really see how that would improve indexing.

Options: It sounds like your cache files aren't being updated. Try deleting the .php files in your cache directory and chmodding the directory so that files can be written there by PHP

That's not difficult to do right now. Simply create a new user group, take away its permissions, and set it as the default group for new users.
