If you're on Mac OS X, you can use wget.

PunBB.org moved to GoDaddy when it was sold to SoftDeluxe, being on a shared host does have it's drawbacks I guess.

The downside is that it makes upgrades difficult, and I don't see any benefits.

I've always liked Luka's designs, they look very professional.

What are you using besides PunBB?

Caching of a forum is tricky, since it changes often and users want to see the changes instantly in order to carry on a conversation.

Bert, I did not want to offend you in any way. I was just wondering why you have such a negative attitude towards fluxbb.

No offense taken. I was excited at first but then I started thinking about what transpired over the last year. Let's just say that we blew a year, PunBB 1.3 should of come out a very long time ago.

In fact, even if you do not remember, it was you who brought me from txp to pun with your idea of building a bridge between the 2 systems.

That's still a possibility, though I'm leaving my options open.

Yeah, I find it quite odd also. Maybe there aren't any English speaking employees of SoftDeluxe other than Anatoly?

Must feel strange for you, having frequented this forum for so many years and now being an outsider of sorts. I remember walking away from my first project, Nucleus CMS. I had to fight the instinctive urge to hit the forums and check for messages. But I found another project to work with and continued on down the road.

I'm talking about xPattern, not FluxBB.

I don't know how you can compare xPattern to FluxBB. The xPats haven't been on the Textpattern forum telling everyone to make the switch.

We approached the developers and asked them to allow us to get more involved, but were turned away. Where Textpattern has a closed minded approach to development, I doubt that the PunBB owners would turn away coding help.

I wish the FluxBB devs all the best but I'm not making the switch and I'm getting tired of hearing about it here, on the PunBB forums.

He didn't say all, and thats hardly a good analogy.

When Ubuntu came out, the same kind of attitude emerged on the Debian forums. The "We've all moved on, come join us in a better place" theme. Then the first upgrade of an LTS release happened upon the users, oh how they rushed back to the Debian forums complaining about having to reinstall their Linux boxen. Then it was the "We missed the simplicity and rock solid performance of Debian" chant.

Good analogy or not, we'll have to see.

As for all the designers moving over to FluxBB, that's like saying all the Debian themers are now using Ubuntu.

I have nothing against Phorum, but does it really suites your needs better, because of domain name? smile

I have a fond place in my heart for PunBB, but it's only one piece of the puzzle when I put up sites. My sites start off with a front end CMS, then I add a gallery and/or a forum if I see the need for it. From the start, the speed of PunBB was what attracted me, though it lacked in certain areas, I had faith in it's future. What happened a year ago kind of shattered my faith, but I kept an eye on SVN and Smartys' commits. Since PunBB was up in the air and I didn't know what the future held, I started looking for an alternative. This time, I was going to look for something that had what PunBB lacked, that's when Phorum lit up in front of my eyes.

So to answer your question, does Phorum really suite my needs better, the answer is yes. Phorum may not be as quick as PunBB, but add a true templating system to Pun and then let's compare render times. Phorum also has an extensive hook system which is just being introduced into PunBB as an extension system. To cut to the chase, everything lacking in PunBB, Phorum has already addressed.

So why am I still here? Cause I have a fond place in my heart for PunBB smile

Can we get the PunBB.org domain back?

I suppose the formal answer is No, if you want it to be as it was before.

Ok, then I'll move my forums from PunBB to Phorum then.

Thanks for your time Anatoly.

Did you ask us about changing the domain name?

The reason for my request is the fact that I will have to end my board and just wanted to save it in a proper way like print it into the PDF or something else.

You can use HTTrack to save it off as HTML files, then find something to go from HTML to PDF or Doc format.

Move all the files to /forum, then change Base URL in administration/options.

Hi,

Look in /include/template/main.tpl:

<div id="brdheader" class="block">
    <div class="box">
        <div id="brdtitle" class="inbox">
            <pun_title>
            <pun_desc>
        </div>
        <pun_navlinks>
        <pun_status>
    </div>
</div>

Hey,

Since you're running it on Wamp, is this your own personal board for learning?

Hi,

Look in /include/template, there's a file called main.tpl, remove <pun_title>, line #16 on a default install.

Options doesn't let you get rid of it, caused it's used for other things.
