Is there a another plugin, where you have an internal post system? Private messages and that stuff?

Not a plugin but a modification that you can find here. Yet next version of the forums (1.3) will have an extension system and the private message won't be anymore a modification but an extension (in other words: you won't need to edit the source code).

That Connorhd's plugin adds a menu to the admin panel that does exactly what you need. Try it.

Either using Connorhd's plugin or the PHPmyAdmin, make a full backup (not just the structure). Restoring the backup takes time, lot of time, so get some patience and a pack of cigarettes if you smoke.

If you want all users to upload a new avatar simply wipe the avatars folder from your FTP client.

I remember (or perhaps I dreamt) Rickard had a public To Do list for v1.2, would it be possible to have such thing for v1.3?

Glad to have been helpful.

The text codes are probably shown because your parser.php doesn't have those emoticons in the array.
As for the css question try adding some more margin.

You just need to define the 'target' attribute in all the links you want to open in a new page. e.g.

<a href="http://mypage.com target="_blank">My Page</a>

Yet...
PunBB uses XHTML 1.0 strict validation which doesn't allow target in <a> tags. If you can care less of XHTML validation that's the solution, otherwise I'm afraid there's no way to accomplish that.

This thread should help you.

I believe so, this "data" you got seem to be a full structure of the database, try with phpmyadmin.

That means that you have installed PunBB again, to import your backup you should drop the current database and use phpmyadmin to restore your backup, otherwise you can manually edit the backup adding a DROP TABLE <table name> command before every block.

Because the post count keeps a record of all the posts posted, not the ones present in the database. If you want to change that way search the forums, it's been asked lately.

Are you sure Mark?

Ain't activation equal to verify registration?
If so check the admin panel -> options -> Registration (one of the last fieldsets).

But are there plugins that have the same functions as the mods? Or some things can't be but mods, and others can easily be used as plugins?

Plugins are more for Moderators and Admins. Modifications are for everyone. In v1.3 modifications will be replaced by extensions, and you'd be already aware of the improvement.
Basically, plugins and mods serve different purposes, but somehow, in some cases, they get to the same result.

I've been playing around with the v1.3 subversions and decided to convert the 1.2 stylesheets to 1.3.
I'm pretty much satisfied of the results, and I want to share it with you.

Link

A few notes:
-Feel free to register and play around with it.
-If you don't feel like registering in yet another forum you can use the demo user (password: demo).
-The link "Website" points to the portal, but the only working link is the homepage.
-This website is only for testing purposes. The main page of the project is still http://www.thesk.net/
-I've used a subversion of v1.3, don't ask me for the final v1.3 because I don't have it. I'm not even a developer and I can't answer any technical question. Likewise, don't report any bug you find to me (unless it's with the stylesheets).
-I'll try to keep it always up to date with the subversions (note: I'll try.).
-I've removed the default stylesheets, you can choose among three in the profile. They would look like to the one in the screenshots in posts above.

Thanks everyone who's gonna try (and hopefully like) these themes.

VB is vBulletin, in this discussion someone is asking for a FUD -> vB converter and is given a link which seems broken, try your luck asking yourself in those forums.

So if i know for instance that target is not going to be larger than 6 characters, it is best to use varchar(6). Otherwise use text if i do not know the real length of it?

Yes. varchar is great for things like IPv4, they can't exceed 15 characters (12 numbers and 3 dots) so I'd always use varchar(15) to store IPs instead of TEXT.

A post where no one (expect admins) can reply?
Just close the topic.
Otherwise if you want a whole forum to be like this go to the admin panel -> forums -> edit the forum -> only leave the "read" flags, remove the others.

At the end of the file will do.

Sorry GeoffG, I had to sleep smile

Anyway, seems that all the links in your forums have underlines and that you want them removed for most of them, in that case add a text-decoration: none, to all the links you find, that should remove all. Then decide what links you want to keep with the underline and we'll see about the code.

I'm not a MySQL expert so don't take my words too seriously but...
TEXT by default is 65536 bytes while varchar can be adjustable. I'd go for varchar if you're sure you won't ever use more than a given amount of bytes you set.

Sounds like you're looking for a printable version. There should be a mod for that on Punres.org, and v1.3 will natively support printable versions (if I recall correctly).

Yeah utterly forgot about that. You'd need to change the display code for that, in either viewtopic.php and profile.php
