I just meant to say that you don't need to use the "less than 1 post" criterium since unverified users can't post. Or can they?

Re: PunBB Unverified Users Problem (19 replies, posted in Discussions)
Go to Administration » Users » Searches and select less than 1 post and unverified users *submit* - then prune those regularly.
I just select "unverified users" and click on Submit search.

Re: [Extension release] Silence! (14 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Great extension, Grez, thanks much. I believe that ban is too harsh a punishment for most offenders, silencing them for a day or two would be more than enough. So this is very handy.
One thing though: silencing should also work from "User's profile - Administration" page, as banning does.

Topic: Censoring problem (3 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 bug reports)
Replacement doesn't work as it is supposed, namely all words are replaced as if they are between wildcards.
For example, rule abc => xyz makes abcdef to be replaced with xyzdef
The problem occurs with Russian words only (utf-8 encoding is used), for English words it works correctly.
Any ideas how to fix this?

I don't care much about color.
What I need is a style for punbb forum that would look good and make forum usable on devices with small screens.

Can you make a "mobile" style, that is a style suitable for small screen devices? Something like this one: http://skins.invisionize.com/db/index.php/f/6402

Re: pun_poll (115 replies, posted in Supported extensions)
Two things:
1) can't edit text of the first message (changes are not applied);
2) Admin panel option "Enable revoting ... Allow vote change." when checked is not applied to a new poll.
P.S.
3) Extra question mark is added after the question.

Re: [Release] Merge posts (23 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Got the same error as discussed earlier:
Database reported: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND (fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1) AND s.topic_id=35 (Errno: 1064).
A bit of info that might (hopefully) help: it happens when the merged posts are first and second in the topic. The posts do merger just fine. The error message appears after redirect to new message view.
Any idea what the problem might be?

Topic: Incorrect topics sort order when moderating a forum (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 bug reports)
If topics in a forum are sorted by "Topic start", I would expect the same sort order at the "Moderate forum" page for that forum.
However, "Moderate forum" page shows topics sorted by "Last post" regardless of the forum's "Sort topics by" setting.

Topic: Move from PHP 4 to PHP 5 (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 discussion)
I need to move my forum from a server running PHP 4.3.11 (under Windows server with Apache module v.1.3) to a server running PHP 5.2 (or newer) under Linux 2.6 with Apache module 2.2.
What are the most important differences I should look out for?
And is there a recommended procedure for moving a forum to a new server?

Maybe it makes sense only for admins.
To make easier life of those who need to send messages to several recipients.
If everything that could be misused was blocked, we'd still live happily on trees.

I'd actually like to keep the profile link where it is by default, and to see the "Name" link (the one that inserts the name into quick reply form) as the rightmost one at the bottom strip of the message, i.e. after "Quick quote" link.

Re: PunBB is Dead? (19 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 discussion)
Since the need to acquire "some basic knowledge" of PHP/MySQL is the same for 1.2, and 1.2 got tremendous amount of mods, what you actually imply is that the punbb community (or part of it interested in 1.3) became dumber and/or lazier, correct?

Re: PunBB is Dead? (19 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 discussion)
Right, but the thing is that not everyone is a developer, and those who are usually do what is interesting to them, not to those who need something extra for the forum (no complaint here, just a fact).
Basically, your statement does not contradict what I said: learning curve is steep enough to discourage non-developers from writing extensions, and there are too few developers to provide a steady flow of new extensions.

Re: PunBB is Dead? (19 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 discussion)
I think the core problem is the extensions system itself. I mean the idea is nice, and the extensions a very convenient to install -- when there are extensions to choose from. But since there is no documentation/tutorials on writing extensions, the learning curve is steep enough to discourage most potential extention-writers.
Also, there is no documentation on the punbb engine, which doesn't help too. It even seems that developers don't know some fundamental things about it.

Looks nice, but you have to limit access to that script somehow, or run an open image hosting service otherwise.

Re: [Request mod/extension] PunBB Mobile (33 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Looks not bad if "Mobile view" is enabled.
Well, it depends on your definition of "not bad".
What is this "Forums in this category with details of topics, posts, last post" in Index view and similar sentence in Forum view?
After that you see basically the same table, as in "regular" view, only with its rows wrapped into several lines, without any kind of separators:
Looks pretty shapeless to me. The numbers are clearly out of place, date and author could be placed better too. Keep in mind that this is forum view -- it is supposed to give you a quick view over the forum contents... It may be Ok if you never use your handheld/smartphone for browsing and just happened to open your forum on it out of curiosity. But for every day use it's unacceptable.
Topic view looks more or less Ok.
Also, not everyone uses Opera Mini on their devices.

Topic: Slow SQL requests (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 troubleshooting)
Today my site was stopped because my forum was taking up too much resources. They said that this was done because of the following requests taking too much time to execute:
use gb_punbb_v0;

this was 15 seconds,
use gb_punbb_v0;
SELECT u.*, g.*, o.logged, o.csrf_token, o.prev_url, o.last_post, o.last_search FROM users AS u INNER JOIN groups AS g ON g.g_id=u.group_id LEFT JOIN online AS o ON o.ident='72.30.142.82' WHERE u.id=1;

use gb_punbb_v0;
SELECT u.email, u.title, u.url, u.location, u.signature, u.email_setting, u.num_posts, u.registered, u.admin_note, p.id, p.poster AS username, p.poster_id, p.poster_ip, p.poster_email, p.message, p.hide_smilies, p.posted, p.edited, p.edited_by, g.g_id, g.g_user_title, o.user_id AS is_online FROM posts AS p INNER JOIN users AS u ON u.id=p.poster_id INNER JOIN groups AS g ON g.g_id=u.group_id LEFT JOIN online AS o ON (o.user_id=u.id AND o.user_id!=1 AND o.idle=0) WHERE p.topic_id=325 ORDER BY p.id LIMIT 150,25;
-- 24 sec.
Any idea what could be the reason?
My site won't be restarted until the problem is fixed.
P.S. Cant' find where the first piece is, the second is in set_default_user() function in functions.php, third in viewtopic.php.
