At some point my webhost will be upgrading to php 5.3 (from php 5.2.xx).
Will punbb continue to run correctly?

Topic: how do I make deleted forum sections or deleted threads return 404? (4 replies, posted in Discussions)
how do I make deleted forum sections or deleted threads return 410 or 404 error? either using php or htaccess.
reason I am asking is the googlebot now decided to treat "Bad request. The link you followed is incorrect or outdated." forum messages as indexing errors called 'soft 404 error' where googlebot thinks I meant to return 404 but didn't do it properly.

The "attachments" folder should have 777 file permission.
Slavok, the attachments folder does have 777 file permissions. but the subfolder "bd9d09ce8a0972d078adfcf5c451c8bc" is being created with wrong permissions.
Any idea how to fix it?

As you probably noticed, if guest posting is enabled, guest email is being revealed in public... i think it's a bug, so here's a little fix:
// Generate author contact details ... Line 411 (at least in my file): if ($cur_post['poster_email'] != '' && !$forum_user['is_guest'] && $forum_user['g_send_email'] == '1') $forum_page['post_contacts']['email'] = '<span class="user-email'.(empty($forum_page['post_contacts']) ? ' first-item' : '').'"><a href="mailto:'.forum_htmlencode($cur_post['poster_email']).'">'.$lang_topic['E-mail'].'<span> '.forum_htmlencode($cur_post['username']).'</span></a></span>'; ...Change to:
// Generate author contact details ... if ($forum_user['is_admmod']) // <-- add this line if ($cur_post['poster_email'] != '' && !$forum_user['is_guest'] && $forum_user['g_send_email'] == '1') $forum_page['post_contacts']['email'] = '<span class="user-email'.(empty($forum_page['post_contacts']) ?

Thanks, I applied your fix in my punbb installation

I already have "Require verification of all new registrations by e-mail."
That just makes sure people use valid emails.

Re: dealing with spammers (6 replies, posted in Discussions)
OK, is there anyway to make punbb require that registrations are verified by an administrator?

Topic: dealing with spammers (6 replies, posted in Discussions)
captcha helps blocks spam bots. However, there is still the problem of human spammers who register and post ads/spam. My host blocks remote connections (free host) so akismet punbb extension will probably not work.
Any workaround or solutions? perhaps a "know bad IP list of spammers" that I can block from my forums?

Topic: googlebot and punbb (5 replies, posted in Discussions)
I'm not 100% sure but I think googlebot can read parts of the forums that are restricted from guests 
I have htaccess to disallow googlebot so google webmaster tools is listing some private threads as URL restricted by robots.txt
If googlebot can't see them as a guest, how is it trying to crawl them to begin with? or does punbb let googlebot see private forum sections?

I think the article describes the opposite of what I want. It describes how to use your wordpress username/password in punbb (i.e. integrate punbb into a blog).

Fixed in pun_poll 1.1.6.
Users can now edit their posts but there's a new bug in creating polls.
If I change 'Number of poll options ' from 2 to 4 and click 'update poll', it creates the new thread instead of allowing me to finish adding poll options.
So 'update poll' actually does 'start topic' now. (sorry for my bad English..I hope I was clear).

Thanks
Thanks for the ideas. I have added feature requests to the Wiki.
Regular uses can't edit their posts if the post is the first post in a thread. Administrators can still edit other people's posts and their own. This bug only affects regular users.
