The Nucleus support forum is running phpBB. I've been following it for 8 months, you can say I'm active.

A couple of months ago, I discovered Pun.

Habitual comparisons between the 2 forums was instant.

Something that phpBb did, PunBB didn't do.

The best feature of Pun, is that it takes you right to where the conversation continued, where you left off.

Something that Pun does, that phpBB doesn't.

Just so people know. Is this a file overwrite or clean install job?

I do a source compre of install.php, if there are no changes then it's safe to overwrite the files.

That is incredible, but M$ has the money to compensate for idiocy.

I've yet to install SP2 on anything, I've heard good and bad.

My main machine is a clean install with SP1, no hotfixes and I'm fine. But I don't use IE or Lookout Express and every service imaginable is turned off.

For my domains I'm using this: http://zoneedit.com/

But I will try out FreeDNS for any future domains, just have to see if my update client, DDClient, has support for it.

I have to do something similar. :)

That's great, will you be putting up a how-to on the pmachine how-to site for other projects to learn from this?

hcgtv: Smoke looks lovely. Tell me the moment it's available for 1.0PR :)

The new themes are out, just tried it and it works just fine in 1.0pr.

Go here, and hit your refresh buttons if in the installation you don't see 1.0.

Thanks to Aaron for taking the time: http://mozthemes.tk/

How well does this conversion tool work?
Invision Power Board 2 to PunBB Converter Beta 5

I knew it was going to happen, that's why I don't spend my time on anything that is not open source with a GPL license.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Looks nice, I would change the google ads to have the same colors as your forum though.

You can use extern.php, there is documentation at the beginning of the code.

Read the install.html file in the 1.1.5 zip file.

I presume you've installed php/mysql apps before?

I'm sick of M$ controlling the computer universe...

They control the universe of the clueless.

On my sites, IE browser share has been dropping for the last few months.

September:
MS Internet Explorer 67.9 %
FireFox    17.5 %

Once IE is below 50%, I'm not going to care about testing my sites in IE.

Bikes would be a category, dirt bikes, kit, etc would be forums.

Pictures can be included in posts with the [img] bbcode markup. Images would reside out on the net, not on your server.

My bike:

Users can upload avatars to the forum.

Users groups are member, moderator and administrator. They can also be ranked by number of posts on your forum.

I like the idea of turning it into a browser, by the way.

PunFox 0.0.7 - browse the web, read email, instant message, content managment and finally we've added back the capability to carry on a threaded conversation.

I think worrying about the contents of ones log file is probably taking things a bit far.

Maybe I'm an extremist but I check the 404 logs and try to clean up as much as I can. If not, the error log becomes useless for debugging purposes.

I did add favicon.ico and robots.txt to all my sites.

hcgtv: now you know why 1.2 is taking so long. Thou toils all night and in the light of day it rendereth funky.

Your point hits home, it looks good in Firefox in the dead of night and then the IE hordes attack :)

But we're working on new markup, should have something to show soon.

You are using Douglas Livingstones negative margin technique. I tried this with viewtopic.php for PunBB 1.2 and found it suffers from a fatal flaw in internet explorer.  Try dragging the browser width and watch the left column.

The Evil Empire strikes again, will look into it. Firefox seems to handle it just fine.
