Yeah, that's what I do. I hit 'Show new posts since last visit' and then shift-click '[ New posts ]' one topic one at a time.

I use the middle mouse button (the wheel) in Firefox and open up tabs. Don't know what I'd do without my browser smile

Your punbb.org site seems very integrated with the forums. I've been studying the templates to get and idea of how to do it myself. Do you enter the items by hand?

The database solution is therefore preferable, but the downside with that is that you need to do more database interaction (which you always want to avoid).

The bottom line is that implementing is isn't difficult, it's just too damned ugly. We fight to keep PunBB simple and in that fight, some features have to be discarded smile

Well, let's leave it alone then, I like simplicity over features anyday. I'll just use the 'Show new posts since last visit' link, just have to retrain my brain.

I'm getting the hang of using punBB after using phpBB. I like the simplicity of punBB and that it runs on my lowly Pentium Pro 200mhz machine rather nicely.

I have looked at the feature requests and have done a search before asking this question but found nothing specific.

One thing I liked about phpBB was that the new message indicator would only clear when you visited the specific forum and viewed the new message. In punBB it is time based so if you spend too much time viewing a seperate thread or if you open up the board in a seperate Firefox tab and don't view it within the time alloted, the message indicators go away from the whole board. Also I tend to forget if I viewed that new thread and I end up re-opening up the specific forum again.

Can the new indicators hang around until you actually visit the thread and read it?

I just tried posting a few test posts and the forum counter works. Can you reproduce the bug in these forums?

I did a test post in the test forum then deleted it, it works fine here. I have to see what is going on in my install.

sf.net has been updating their systems. Anonymous cvs access has gotten better over the last couple of weeks. It's a judgment call, you could always host your own cvs.

Installed this mod on my site: http://hcgtv.net

The post that has a link called 'Forum discussion' links to the automated forum link. Now I want to look at fully integrating the forum by displaying the forum post and thread within the blog contents window. I've seen examples of this on this forum, I'll give it a whirl this week.

I deleted a post, I can see the logic behind leaving the user post count alone, but it also left the forum post count alone. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

when will they allow me to just run the install program instead of having to go and back up everything sad?

In the case of 0.9, you are better off using a new profile. The changes that were made to themes and extensions require a new profile or else you'll have issues. Maybe after 1.0, the installation of Firefox won't require jumping through hoops.

Yes, I know rado wrote a plugin today for user integration.

This is the thread that started it: http://forum.nucleuscms.org/viewtopic.php?t=4036

I have been using NucleusCMS for the last 5 months after having spent many years downloading/evaluating Blog/CMS apps.

Why I settled on Nucleus can be found here: http://hcgtv.com/item/224

I'm in the process of investigating the integration of a forum into Nucleus for seamless operation. From what I see of punBB so far, it fits very well into Nucleus' principles of small code base and light on system resources.

Rather than re-invent the wheel, maybe we can work together to make Nucleus/punBB work well together.
