Very mature forum, nicely done if I may say.

Wow, PunBB can do what vBulletin does

I like it, glad to see Minima being used differently.

I'd like to eventually style the forum to match the front end, so yes, my CrystalX ball shows a Pun Style in the future.

Esteem,

You take something like Filebrowser, which guardian34 makes mention of, and tweak the CSS to match that of your forum. Then in Admin -> Options -> Additional menu items, you add something like 2 = <a href="http://mydomain.org/files/">Files</a>, which would give you a top menu item.

Does that make sense?

Then I would go the 1.3 route, you may converge at your target date with newer code.

Now, this is from a rather cloudy crystal ball, I've had no sleep and I'm running out of coffee.

CMS Made Simple is not bad, very easy to administer: http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/

I use Textpattern myself, a different mindset but very powerful: http://textpattern.com/

I came upon PunBB almost three years ago, at Version 1.1.5, in June of 2004. I was already familiar with handling my front end content with a CMS, so I wanted to try my hand at a forum.

What PunBB had going for it, and still does, is that it's a very capable forum. Throw at it what you want, it renders your copied text exact and keeps track of who, what, where and when. It was also kind to my server, my first live PunBB install is still running on a Pentium Pro 200mhz. Styling, it never crossed my mind back then, it was about the digitized word.

Today, we'd like to take Pun to a different level, so styling is in vogue. If you've ever styled a front end, either using a freely available template or your own design, you know how hard it is to get the page to adjust to different browsers and font sizes. So moving forward on PunStyle, we have to take into account how well the current XHTML attributes of Oxygen can adjust to anything you throw at it and what container size it may reside in.

Too often, we pay attention to the looks and miss the brains.

sNews is really small, one script does it all. It's great for small sites, but if you want to really have a true CMS, then Textpattern would be a better choice.

Size does matter, the fewer lines of code, the easier to secure and hack up. But it gets to a point where you're limiting yourself for very little in return.

I subscribe to Secunia's feed, it does bring to light what systems to avoid.
