Search options (Page 53 of 307)

eh, what? No offense, but this post sounds to me like you just heard someone talk about SEO and are trying to show off.

1. I've never seen any PunBB forum have trouble getting indexed (and indexed well).
2. Search engine optimization is not just about your URLs: in fact, they're not even a major piece
3. Search engine optimization does not mean adding .htm or .html to the end of your URL

As Bekko said, 1.3 will natively support SEF (search engine friendly) URLs. That simply means that PunBB will support URLs that aren't simply filename.php?querystring=something. Not all that important, in my opinion

As Matt said, content is king. You can certainly have a site that for various reasons is hard for search engines to index. PunBB is not such a site.

If you're talking about a PunBB vulnerability, send me an email (smartys at this domain).

Moved to General Discussion, since this has nothing to do with PunBB plugins.

From an older topic

That's not what the article says: it says that the German official in charge of preparing a report on search engine privacy policies and how they comply with EU privacy laws feels that IP addresses should be regarded as personal data (which would change the way it's dealt with in privacy policies). That's one official's personal statement in an official venue. I don't see what's so special about that, given that his statement (as far as I can tell) has no impact other than that which the news coverage gives it. He could certainly put that in his report, which would give it more weight, but a report isn't law by any means. Just because he says he thinks IP addresses should be considered personal data when used to identify people does not mean that there will be new draconian laws implemented to prevent the harvesting of IP addresses.
Let me know if I'm missing something.

That hook was not there at the time I wrote the post, it was added in the past 24 hours. There is also no guarantee that we won't decide to change the name of that hook between now and the beta. Finally, it doesn't change the fact that there are not yet any hooks within the admin pages themselves where you could add inputs for new config values easily.

Except that the default password handling was changed, which would lead to those "Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client." messages

Yup, we're aware of the problem and doing our best to resolve it

You simply append

 <a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="document.getElementById(\'show_quick\').style.display = \'none\' ? \'block\' : \'none\'; insert_text(\'[b][color=red]@'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_post['username']).'[/color][/b] - \',\'\');" rel="nofollow" title="'.$lang_topic['Address Post'].'"><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="'.$pun_config['o_base_url'].'/img/address_to.gif" alt="'.$lang_topic['Address To'].'" title="'.$lang_topic['Address To'].'" /></a>

to the original value of $username only when they're not the same user.

Moved to Modifications, since that's what you're looking for
You can remove the width/height attributes in include/parser.php
