I have StopForumSpam.com antispam extension installed (v. 1.1.2), but still getting 30+ spam registrations daily. Is there any reasonably easy way to remove those registrations?

Do they complete registration ?
if not, I have read (to be confirmed, can not find it back) that partial registration are auto deleted after some days (from 1.3.?).

In my case, http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … stop-spam/ seems to be working.

Hi all !

Do you know what mod they are using there for front end ?
http://www.midwestlanparty.com/

Thanks.

Thanks Keydog for the advice,

Well, if I dont mistake, I have a problem, Houston :
last punbb installed (localhost), config moved, database updated (no error printed), yet I can't access my updated forum because :

Unable to fetch guest information. The table 'punbb_users' must contain an entry with id = 1 that represents anonymous users.

I checked punbb_users table, and that's true I have no user whose id is 1.
Normal ? I don't know*. I come from 1.2.8 I guess.

I would like to update the table with the working information about Anonymous.
Can someone kndly share the sql to add the Anonymous user ?

Thanks !


*Looking at my sql original export I can see I should have the requested Anonymous user

INSERT INTO `punbb_users` VALUES (1, 3, 'Guest', 'Guest', 'Guest', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 'English', 'Oxygen', 0, NULL, 0, '0.0.0.0', 0, NULL, NULL, NULL);

But I cant update the new database with the old line wink

Hello all,

Well, I failed to find the how-to to upgrade from my old punbb (1.2.8) to the last one.
Please, can someone share some advice ?

Thanks !

Thank you Parpalak, I agree it is a solution then to alter the name of the pun_pm link if no new messages.

Please can you confirm a new message is an unreaden message (then one has a new message link active until he truly read his messages).

Hi people,

Something I dislike here, and that might not be too difficult to alter I guess, is the fact there is a «new messages» link even if one got zero unreaden message.
May I suggest to change this using a true query : either the number (news messages (0)) either sentence (no new message).
More, my opinion is that it would be more informative and less deceptive if it is showed, for each link, each number. Something like :
New posts (12) Active topics (5) Unanswered topics (6) New messages (0)

Thank you !

I think the keyword is : «redirect».
Another tool : http://www.anomy.net/indirector/
just use

http://www.anomy.net/indirector/?

before the link.

It's a css effect ; I think you will have to change the color (to marron) of some class, or id or something in your css file smile
As you can see, I don't remember what is the line involved, but hope someone else will.

You may try a redirection using google, so that I suppose Google will appear as the referer.

ps : there is a security message.

Installed, thank you very much ; it works fine but I made a little modification : I don't like the fact all sticky subjects in my forums are at the top of the «all list», because some of them are very forum-related.

In your php file, I replaced all three
ORDER BY sticky DESC, last_post DESC LIMIT
by
ORDER BY last_post DESC LIMIT

Hope I do as needed smile

Thanks again, very good option with no db modification.

ps1 : Ah, and if possible, please make «choose forum» a not hardcoded sentence, for better localization.
ps2 : Ah, and if possible, please give us the stats and online block in the php file.

Nice !

Will you share your code Soonotes ?
I would be interested in giving users the ability to print the forum as normal (by forum listing) or just as a list of recent topics with your work.
A pair of links at the head of the forum, something like :
listing forums | listing posts
or something CSSed like vanilla would be usefull and smart to let people switch the way they want too see the forum.
What should be fine, to my mind, is a cookie to remember user's latest choice.
Think it would be a great option and hope you will.

Good suggestion Smartys smile
Done, but no effect.
I don't understand why I get another page than other people for the same url.

Hi,

So, I updated FF to 2.0.0.1 and...
...and, that's strange, I'm still getting same bad result as mentioned above for action link like : http://www.languefrancaise.net/forum/se … n=show_24h

There is no doubt, the origin of the problem is at my home : do someone have an idea about what may be wrong ?
(please note it's fine with IE).

Thank you !

arf, I'm with FF 1.0 smile (and not drunken)

True ; very strange : no problem with IE : as normal ; but not working fine with FF 1.0

same request
-IE : http://www.languefrancaise.net/public/z … ink_ie.jpg (fine)
-FF : http://www.languefrancaise.net/public/z … ink_ff.jpg (not fine)

Strange... Not only the layout : IE gives me some selected results according to the criteria (one page) ; FF gives me all (122) pages...

ok Smarty, there was an error I didn't see smile (in fact, yes, I agre, from time to time I saw an error message -when using IE, not with FF- relative to gzip). Great smile

But I know I have another problem : please go to my forum (http://www.languefrancaise.net/forum/), and click an action link at the bottom of the index page : you know, the answered, 24h, my messages links, and so on.
The displayed result is not good ; there is something wrong, some troubleshooting I can't solve at this time. What is strange is the fact the «search.php» page is the original one, not modded. If you have idea about the origin of the trouble, and the way to solve it, I'll be happy to read it ;-)

Hello Smartys,

thank you for ansewing so quickly.
So, here it is how my server is loaded

Environment
    Operating system: Linux
    PHP: 4.3.10-18 - Show info
    Accelerator: N/A
Database
    MySQL 4.0.26-max-log
    Rows: 1588373
    Size: 75.13 MB

So, I don't know if I'm concerned with the bug you link (for php 4.3.2).

Anyway, the topic from weblogtoolscollection says : «In order to get around this problem (on most servers) you have to add the following line to the .htaccess file in the root of your blog/page.
php_flag session.use_trans_sid off
Or add this to your index.php (or your PHP code):
ini_set(?session.use_trans_sid?, false);»

Hum... and for dummies ? smile what's to do : new line in htaccess or one php code line in forum/index.php ?

PS : I disabled gzip in punbb admin but no result. Please note I have no error message.

Hello all,

Does anybody have an idea about what is wrong (and how to solve it) in my search action links (not the dedicated search page (<-working) but the actions at the bottom of the page) ?
The layout is abnormal and I get no results : just a list of topics.
Here it is a link : http://www.languefrancaise.net/forum/se … n=show_24h
What is surprising is
1-the fact the search.php file is the original one -newly reuploaded- (for version 1.2.8) ??
2-the fact the regular search page is working fine : is this dedicated search using same method as the action search (Get ?) : php ?

Thank you !

And maybe fix the problem with moved posts (for exemple, link 2 here : http://shareminer.com/forum/General-talk-3/)
Thank you for sharing your work.

For me -I want a forum opened to guests- askimet plugin made for punBB is a working solution. Some errors but it's ok at this time, although I think it may be better.
You may also have a look at Tobi's code, counting numer of url in post : http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=76114#p76114 or Elbekko's mod : http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=76146#p76146
