And if you took the time to actually read the article that was linked to by Solovey and the last entry which I quoted, you would see Google did NOT say that underscores are now word separators. Solovey's article was written by Stephan Spencer.
In other words, Matt Cutts is the one to listen to, not Stephan Spencer wink

SuperMAG: I just gave you 3 Matt Cutts blog posts that support hyphens over underscores. What more do you want? wink

No, they shouldn't. As I said, in the current version, 1.2, topics are only marked as read when your last visit time updates. That's why the modification you refer to exists.
In 1.3, the version currently under development, topics are marked as read when you actually read them.

1.2 marks any topic as read that has been posted in since your last visit time.

A reason why not, even if the entry IS over two years old tongue

If you read Stephan Spencer?s write-up, he says some people thought that underscores are the same as dashes to Google now, and I didn?t quite say that in the talk. I said that we had someone looking at that now. So I wouldn?t consider it a completely done deal at this point. But note that I also said if you?d already made your site with underscores, it probably wasn?t worth trying to migrate all your urls over to dashes. If you?re starting fresh, I?d still pick dashes.

Uh, no. You're getting an undefined index notice because $_GET['page'] isn't set. You need to make sure it is using isset before you can compare its value.

isset is your friend.
Moved to Programming, since this is a very basic PHP thing, not a 1.3 related thing (other than the context).

Uh, as far as I know we're not using spaces.

- The timezone is set to Pacific. The time format drop-down menu is showing 7:36PM when it is currently 11:45AM. Should it be displaying Pacific's time?

Make sure your server's clock is set correctly.

They say the installation of PunBB is "hard"...

Was this the installation of 1.2 or 1.3 that they were commenting on?  I don't see how anyone could consider the installation of 1.2 hard.  You insert your database details, account, password, e-mail, etc., and you are good to go.  Every other forum and almost every other script I have used installs the same way.  The only exception is PHPnuke, which you don't want to use, anyway.  I can't comment on 1.3 because I have not used it, but I will assume that it isn't hard to install.

Watch their video install, they tried to install it when the most recent release wasn't linked to directly from the downloads page wink

When it's done wink

It depends on what you're looking to do with the extension. Do you just want to allow the login to work off of the external source? If so, there are two hooks in the authentication part of login.php that look useful.

Well, I'm currently looking into a way to turn that query into query builder, so we'll see tongue

No, for security reasons there is no way around it.

Looks like it was just an oversight in install.php, I corrected it.

Because Guests don't have their own entries in the users table, so tracking them is difficult.
In fact, tracking them is difficult in general. Tracking by IP means users behind proxy servers get unfairly hit. Tracking by cookie is defeatable simply by deleting the cookie.
I wrote a modification for 1.2 that adds flood control settings for guests (for posting) via IP (through the online table).

And search flood? That's funny, because the option exists for 1.2 too and it doesn't look like anybody ever noticed it wasn't implemented!

An explanation of the bug more than "there's something wrong here" is appreciated, since it makes sure that we're seeing the same bug tongue
Assuming you're talking about pun_link stuff, I'm going to fix it now. Otherwise, you'll need to be more specific.

The server where you're doing this and having the issue.

Any chance you could give me access to this server to investigate it?

The problem is in diary_rss.php, it's including common.php/functions.php twice.

MySQL connection collation: utf8_unicode_ci

Is that without calling SET NAMES?

For the same reason we don't have one hook per query per dblayer: they're all the same query, just formed differently to take care of the idiosyncrasies of the different systems. In this case, you simply do an is_array check rather than looking for a particular dblayer.
