So it's workable now.

Just add this (as well as the abovementioned changes to .../English/common.php)

    $visit_links['search_topics'] = '<span id="search_topics"'.(empty($visit_links) ? ' class="first-item"' : '').'><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['search_user_topics'], $forum_user['id']).'"title="'.$lang_common['My topics title'].'">'.$lang_common['My topics'].'</a></span>';


to the header.php near or instead of:

       $visit_links['unanswered'] = '<span id="visit-unanswered"'.(empty($visit_links) ? ' class="first-item"' : '').'><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['search_unanswered']).'" title="'.$lang_common['Unanswered topics title'].'">'.$lang_common['Unanswered topics'].'</a></span>';

I would rather do it instead since too many links in the header may become garbled on smaller resolutions (laptops, old comps, etc), besides the forum's slogan is simplicity.

You can just add    

$visit_links['search_topics'] = '<span id="search_topics"'.(empty($visit_links) ? ' class="first-item"' : '').'><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['search_user_topics'], "3").'"title="'.$lang_common['My topics title'].'">'.$lang_common['My topics'].'</a></span>';


to header.php after

    $visit_links['recent'] = '<span id="visit-recent"'.(empty($visit_links) ? ' class="first-item"' : '').'><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['search_recent']).'" title="'.$lang_common['Active topics title'].'">'.$lang_common['Active topics'].'</a></span>';

(I would also remove the "unanswered topics" in the same location — these are simply redundant and good for nothing)

and then add this to .../English/common.php

'My topics'                =>    'My topics',
'My topics title'        =>    'Find topics which contain my posts.',

Herein, 3 is your ID number as a user, but I don't know yet how to write the general expression. Anyone knowledgeable know how to substitute 3 by a generic expression for "oneself"?

Is it possible to make the show-my-topics feature in the same line of

New posts
Active topics
Unanswered topics
New messages

It probably requires only minor changes to one of the above. Or maybe someone could help me with this —I'm learning php.

What's in the world is this? What's MINUS 9.7em? This causes this problem in Opera, when you set it to 0, Firefox begins to look like Opera 8. You did something to overlapping boxes, now they won't overlap.


Oxygen.css
.brd .main-content .main-item .item-subject,
.brd .main-content .main-item li {
    float: left;
    border-left-style: solid;
    border-left-width: 1px;
    margin: 0 -2px -9.7em 0;
    position: relative;
    padding-top: 0.6em;
    padding-bottom: 10.4em;
    }

I cannot test your forum in all the browsers!! Once I start changing something, it may look fine in one, but get out of control in others.

The best thing to do is rewrite the subjet-titles with tables

It's too late now. What's done's done. The simplicity rule means that you should the most simple means available, for instance, not use the CSS-block system, when you can just insert the old-fashioned table tags. Because this hasn't been done, the CSS files are now skrewed up, and IE 5 and probably many other browsers are not working. I'd rather prefer someone help get this mess with IE 5 straightened out, because, as of now, the forum can hardly be used for any serious, let alone commercial, purposes.

There's one thing I want to get across to the developers of Pun/Flux. 

It's a good application with a good potential, I wouldn't be waisting my time on it, if it weren't, but if these people knew how I swore while debugging it, they'd turn freaking red. As far as I understand, you don't use PHP where you can do with the old-fashioned HTML -- that's bad programming, making thing more complex than they already are. PHP is the code inserted INSIDE html wherever you can't survive without it, but not any other way!

The prob with Opera is it "your" end.
The forum is made entirely of php, it's not using html <> tags as normal forums do, as a result it seems to skrew up at every occasion, when something non-standard is done... I'd kill people who don't understand the word "simplicity". And, simplicity envolves not using php whenever you can do with html. No reply necessary.

Internet Explorer 5.0 seems to be totally unable to render pages, it clutters everything into overlapping boxes. (I want to know if other people have this problem, the prob may be due to a hack error in my system)

Opera 8.54 seems to have a css bug, which makes the topics height look 3-4 times times higher, like this:
