Hi all,

I wanted to know if it was possible for a forum user to be notified of new threads via email?

Thanks

Lol. I'll do my best not to post any nooby questions.

To be honest, I've always worked independently of 3rd party software and have always developed my own blogs, forums, helpdesks etc. However, I recently begun using WordPress for a blog and could not believe how refreshing it was. I repented over the time and energy wasted on my own work and abandoned it for WordPress.

I plan on doing the same thing for Forums and punBB was well.

Meanwhile, any idea about the "new post" question in message #14?

@Matt - I've look around to try and understand how it works. Could you please point me in the right direction?

Also, what about the "new post alert" thingameejig mentioned in message 14?

And one last one (I promise... kind of)....

As the site admin, is there no way to receive notifications of new posts?

I know there is an RSS Feed, but i only switch on my RSS reader at specific times of the day, but would want to know about new posts as they happen.

Thanks

And one more question...

Am I right in understanding that changing code directly is a bad idea because all changes would disappear on upgrade?

@Utchin - Sounds good.

Another question (and sorry to ask so many)... is there a way to make "subscribe to this thread" the default setting?

Thanks. What would be the best way for me to share my hack with the community? Just describe what I did?

One other thing...

I noticed that the view count of a post increases each time I visit the post myself. Would I need to hack punBB to ignore the admin's page views or is there an option for this?

Thanks again

Would you not agree, though, that if a security issue was discovered in PunBB that the vandals would simply google for "Powered by PunBB" to identify all the forums that they could gain access to?

1. Okay.
2. General layout (although the layout is controlled through PHP).
3. Is there any resource which states my obligations so I can make sure I stay within them?

Thanks

Hi guys,

I am new to punBB (having flirted with phpBB3 and bbpress) and need help with a couple of topics...

1. As my forum is new, i don't want to force people into looking at a list of forums when there is only one forum. Is there any such setting that makes the index page be the only forum or do i need to to a mod rewrite for that? (Hope that makes sense).

2. How do I integrate punBB into my existing site? The existing site is laden with PHP, so I need to figure out how to mix the two.

3. Is it possible to remove the "powered by punBB part". I agree that credit should be given where it is due, but there is a certain level of security which comes through obscurity.

Many thanks for this great software.
