Does that help?

Fixed

If you didn't put in any information, it uses PHP's mail function, just like the rest of PunBB.

What extension did you try installing?

Did you choose to empty the search index when rebuilding?

LHT: It's a little more complicated than that. You have to edit the dblayer file for MySQL to add SET NAMES UTF8 and you need to edit the language file to serve up stuff in UTF-8. If you do that and change the database collation from the start, I think you're fine.

You need to run the database update script to change the version number

Have you changed your cookie settings in config.php recently?

Because we can. We don't use any PHP 5 only features, so there's no reason to drop support.

When we want/need those features, we can raise the version requirement. There's no reason to arbitrarily raise the version required. We have no problem doing so when necessary (eg: PunBB 1.3 requires at least PHP 4.3, which is a higher requirement than 1.2, and also requires a newer version of MySQL).

"This vulnerability is also one of the reasons why we do not recommend using ext/filter for user input filtering/validation. Whenever there is a fault in the code the application might be open for attacks and only the admin of the server is able to fix this. This is especially bad in shared hosting environments."
PDO:
We have our own DB layer set up, I don't see why we need another abstraction layer.

Seems to me like we're already doing fine parsing extension info, and that code could be used to syndicate feeds as well (I think). What's the problem?

Super. But it isn't. So it's irrelevant

Except for the fact that we neither want nor need the features given to us only in PHP5. We don't want to stop support for the sake of stopping support. If there are compelling reasons (like there were in 1.3), then we raise the version number.
