Does PHP contain an XML parser that could be used for this? If so, is this parser enabled by default and is it available in all post 4.3.0 versions of PHP?

Doesn't look like it, judging by this page.

Q: May I remove the copyright from the page footer?
Yes, but please don't. If you must, please try to keep at least "Powered by PunBB" with the link to this site intact.

So yes, there is nothing legally wrong in doing so, but please keep a small link if you can.

I think the tabs in IE7 look like something that got hit with the ugly stick smile

I tend to agree with you, too big and, well, OK they are plain ugly - I'm sure they be prettier in the next beta.

they only implemented tabbed browsing because they were feeling threatened, not because they were feeling nice, and i didn't say FF invented the search bar, but it looks excatly the same in IE. If they listened to what people were asking for they would have done css support instead of tabs etc

Where is the difference to the end user between doing something because you are "feeling nice" (how many companies does that?) and feeling threatened? In the end users asked for tabs and they got tabs. The users aren't asking for CSS support, the developers are. That said I'm quite sure the lacking CSS support is mostly a matter of how to do full support, without breaking existing pages that are using undocumented features in previous versions. I'm not saying it can't be done, just that it is damn hard, and takes some time to do.

Also imo its different in the case of something like openoffice, they copy the look of office so that people can use it easily since people are used to office, microsoft take ideas from other people because their products are not doing as well as they would like

I don't see the difference, when Sun takes ideas from Microsoft it is OK, but when Microsoft takes ideas from an project partially funded by Sun, IBM and AOL it is wrong? Is that what you are saying?
And it is not ok for Microsoft to improve products they would like to sell?

Vista looks awful, it looks like a bad StyleXP theme.

Remember that beta 1 is a technical beta, Vista won't ship for another year, so there will be changes before it ships.

Stole? How come that when Microsoft listens to the feedback from users and implements tabbed browsing it is called stealing, but projects like OpenOffice are applauded for looking just like Microsoft Office? The search bar is not a FF invention, you have been able to search in IE for years, just try typing a search phrase into the address bar. It turned out that users didn't understand this double function, so it was split out to separate bar. The feed are new, but as feeds didn't exist 5 years ago I don't think it is that strange that it hasn't been part of IE6.
For those of you that are not MSDN subscribers or in other ways eligible for an IE7 beta, I can add that PunBB renders without problems in IE7.

It is an early beta 2 screenshot, all Beta 1 builds are numbered 51xx and beta 2 builds 52xx.

And, can somebody tell me what must-have features Longhorn have?

I am not allowed to give you the Microsoft take on "must have features", but I can point you to what others have said, not saying that it is in any way accurate :-)

There is a explanation of why menus are located in the tab in the IE Blog.
Oh and those screendumps are not from the Beta 1 branch.

what a about a security alert mailinglist?

An alert mailinglist was discussed in this thread, but I think the idea was dismissed based on the assertion that PHP is not made for sending numbers of mails.

Yeah, anyone know where chacmool has gone?, he hasn't posted in the last few months.

I strongly recommend upgrading to 1.2.6 as well.

While my subscribtion idea wasn't a serious suggestion for a feature (I've known Rickard for years and know his bloatfobia very well). I actually think that a good way of getting release news the PunBB users (as in admins, not end users) would be making a mail-subscription to the "PunBB.org News" forum available. The flow and the nunber off potential users is small enough to make it realistic.
On the topic of RSS, it is a great technology, I use myself - but not all PunBB admins are there yet and getting news about new releases and patches to expliots out to the forum-admins would be beneficial to all.

Or it could be a new feature in 1.3: "Subscribe to forum", just like subscribing to a topic you will get a mail each time a new topic is posted in the subscribed forums.
That way you could just subscribe to the "PunBB.org News" forum and get a mail when a new version is released.
I know Rickard is always looking for new features to implement :-)

You might want to read a bit more about MD5, wikipedia is a good start. The article even includes links to some serious MD5 password databases.

PunBB doesn't use XMLRPC and is thus not affected, some mods might be though, but I don't recall any using XMLRPC either.

Chacmool: Oh hot blogger chicks do exist, just try to google for "hot blogger chicks".

While browsing through this topic, I hit that link and lo and behold, the top link points right back here smile Is that some kind of recursive search vortex?

In addition to googling, MSN search for "hot blogger chicks" shows that usage of the soon commonly used expression "hot blogger chicks" has spread to other places after we started using it (well only two places, but it is a start of a new trend :-)).

Rickard: Have you wonder about the low amount of comments on you rickard.punbb.org blog after you switched to WP? It just might be that you have a problem, I tried posting a comment without success, no errors, nothing, but no comment either. I even tried using another browser (won't say the f-word here).

Really good language pack - without doubt the best Danish lang pack I have seen for PunBB so far.
Some comments though;
In common.php replace:

// Determine what locale to use
switch (PHP_OS)
{
    case 'WINNT':
    case 'WIN32':
        $locale = 'english';
        break;

    case 'FreeBSD':
    case 'NetBSD':
    case 'OpenBSD':
        $locale = 'en_US.US-ASCII';
        break;

    default:
        $locale = 'en_US';
        break;
}

with

// Determine what locale to use
switch (PHP_OS)
{
    case 'WINNT':
    case 'WIN32':
        $locale = 'danish';
        break;

    case 'FreeBSD':
    case 'NetBSD':
    case 'OpenBSD':
        $locale = 'da_DK.ISO8859-1';
        break;

    default:
        $locale = 'da_DK';
        break;
}

and the stopword list (stopwords.txt) should be translated too. You can use in one found in the old 1.1 dk lang pack as a starting point.
Keep up the good work!

Much better - text resizing still doesn't work in IE6 though, is that a design choice?
