Ok, I just changed the address to your config.php, and it gave the following error:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/httpd/vhosts/j-f-f.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/config.php on line 2

Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/vhosts/j-f-f.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/config.php on line 2

There's definetely something wrong in your config.php file, although looking at what you posted earlier, it shouldn't be...

Well, as far as I can see, there's nothing wrong with that file... What program did you use to create & save it? I'm just asking, because if you usede a word processor of some sort, it could be that it's saved with some sort of formatting, though I doubt this is the case... What's your server setup (platform, php version & database type (+version))?

Is it possible? Yes (as long as you don't echo out *any* data before the include).
Would it requiring changing a lot of PunBB's code? Yes (changing all the links would just be a start).
Will it create problems? Yes (one of which will be the referrer checks).
Is it a potential security hazard? Yes, without a doubt, if done the wrong way.

...

So, what would be the point of doing this? A lot of work, without any real gain.

Glad to hear it's working

That's because javascript have problems handling it without any specific headers (in this case, utf-8).

To fix, do the following:
1. Open extern.php, and find on line 245:

        $result = $db->query('SELECT t.id, t.subject FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON f.id=t.forum_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id=3) WHERE (fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1) AND t.moved_to IS NULL'.$forum_sql.' ORDER BY '.$order_by.' DESC LIMIT '.$show) or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

Below add:

        if(isset($_GET['utf-8'])) @header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); // Needed for accented characters w. JS/Ajax

2. Open ./include/js/ajax_extern.js, and fine on line 25:

var extern_query = 'extern.php?action=active&show=10&length=100&rnd='+rnd;

Replace with:

var extern_query = 'extern.php?action=active&show=10&length=100&utf-8=1&rnd='+rnd;

3. Save, upload and enjoy accented characters that looks correct

So do I, and it's a breeze styling the web page as you'd like

If you're using a opera version below Opera 9 TP2, see this link: http://nontroppo.org/wiki/StylingWebPages

In case you're using Opera 9 TP2 ++, just create a .css with the overrides you'd like for a specific site, right-click the page, choose "site preferences", style & browse to the .css you just created

Would not be possible the way the chatbox works now. I guess you could do some XML parsing, but that would require a total rewrite of the way the chatbox outputs data... Also, it would add some new SQL queries to the code, so it wouldn't really be worth it. You might save a few bytes of bandwidth on each update, but then again, you would also add more strain on the server so I don't really see the point.

Ok, I think my ajax modification if the chatbox is working well enough for a release now

As I've previously mentioned, here are the most important functions I've added:
* AJAX for posting & refreshing chatbox.
* Added a delete function for moderators and admins. This is also handled using AJAX.

[Download here]
[Demo]

Installation:
Just unzip the archive directly into your PunBB directory, overwriting the following files if they exist:

   <root>chatbox.php
   <root>include/js/ajax_chat.js

Please note that you need the the original version of Pokemon_JOJO's chatbox installed first.

Enjoy

EDIT: A small update, as I forgot a minor details. I've already updated the archive, but if you've downloaded before this edit, either re-download, or simply open up chatbox.php & change line 252 from:

    global $db, $lang_chatbox, $pun_config, $pun_user;

to

    global $db, $lang_chatbox, $pun_config, $pun_user, $lang_common;

@Gooom: Yes, that wouldn't be that hard, but you wouldn't want to set the time to low, as it *does* actually run a SQL query. Setting it to something like 10-15 seconds would be fine though

@StevenBullen: There is some changed code, but nothing that would be hard to replicate throughout your already modified version.

EDIT:

By the way, here's how the delete links are placed currently (IP's censored):

And here we're deleting a message, using ajax:

Simple & effective. I'm starting to like this ajax thing for certain features, even though this is my first time using it I had a difficult time getting started, as I didn't want to use any of those "use-for-everything" libraries, but now I see that the basics is not really all that hard ).

I'm working on it

Currently, I've implemented Ajax for posting (testing it at the moment for problems, as this is the first Ajax project I've done), and I'll probably have a nice refresh function there as well when I'm done. I don't have a public demo up yet though.
