I was just testing out THEIR demo on THEIR website that YOU posted a link to.

Could it be that they are "borrowing" from cPanel ?  Sure looks like it.

also, when you try to install phpBB from the demo look at what it shows:

Warning: mkdir(c:/wwwroot/hosted/demo/web/forums/): File exists in C:\wwwroot\cpanel\modules\install\execute.php on line 45
Great, your phpBB has been installed!


? cpanel ?

their site sure is slow....

I hope this demo isn't the same as the production version, phpBB v2.08a?

easiest way would be to add a new field to the members table to hold the amount of referrals.

That just proves that Exit Polls are inaccurate.

There are add-on browser extensions available for both Internet Explorer and Firefox to add spell checking capability for text boxes and input boxes.

For IE:  http://www.iespell.com/

for Firefox:  http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/

I have used both, and they work equally well.  For ieSpell, it is possible to include a spellcheck button in a web form to invoke the spell checking.

Example:  http://richardk.digitalrice.com/punbb12/post.php?tid=1

You must be using IE for the above example to work, for all other browsers, the spellcheck button is not shown.  If you are using IE and you don't have ieSpell installed, the button will be labeled "Get ieSpell" and when clicked, it will open a window where you can download ieSpell.   If you do have ieSpell, the button will be labeled "Check Spelling" and will spell check the text box when you click on it.

I don't think the same is possible for spellbound yet, at least I haven't been able to find anything about it yet.

Here is the contents of the readme.txt, when I open it up:

##        Mod title:  punLaTeX
##
##      Mod version:  1.0
##   Works on PunBB:  1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5
##     Release date:  2004-10-12
##           Author:  Chris Moore (chris@ilovephysics.com)
##
##      Description:  Adds support for the LaTeX math mark-up language,
##              allowing equations to be posted in forums.
##
##   Affected files:  include/parser.php
##
##       Affects DB:  No
##
##            Notes:  This mod uses a LaTeX engine called mimeTeX. MimeTeX
##              parses a LaTeX math expression and emits the
##              corresponding gif image on-the-fly. It is a separate
##              program that doesn't use TeX or its fonts in any way.
##              It's just one cgi that you put in your site's cgi-bin
##              directory. This means that it can be used on servers that
##              do not have LaTeX installed, such as most free and paid
##              hosting.
##
##       DISCLAIMER:  Please note that "mods" are not officially supported by
##                    PunBB. Installation of this modification is done at your
##                    own risk. Backup your forum database and any and all
##                    applicable files before proceeding.

Chris, could you take a look at the readme.txt file in the .zip file?  Looks like it isn't complete.

For those who are wondering. The index page has one table only and the other two pages have no tables at all.

Paul, I like the color combination you are using on your test site.  You wouldn't want to share the style you are using would you?

I don't like either of them.  In 2000 I voted for Gore, I didn't like Bush as Governor and didn't want him as President.  But I was in the minority here in Texas so my vote didn't amount to much.  This year I will be voting for Bush.  Kerry doesn't have what it takes to run a country.  If Kerry were to be elected, we would be a weaker country because of it.

These "debates" have no bearing whatsoever on my decision, I don't watch them.  You can't make your decision on a few hours of "debate".

Paul,

I got it working by commenting out the following (line #85 & #86):

else if (preg_match('/averages?: ([0-9\.]+),[\s]+([0-9\.]+),[\s]+([0-9\.]+)/i', @exec('uptime'), $load_averages))
    $server_load = $load_averages[1].' '.$load_averages[2].' '.$load_averages[3];

The host I am using is using a Windows server.

Must be something with my host.  The admin_index.php page is coming up blank in version 1.1.5 now also, it was working fine yesterday.  Sorry to have bothered you.

Paul,

here is the site:  http://richardk.digitalrice.com/punbb12/

I can go directly to each individual admin page (admin_forums.php, etc...), but admin_index.php just gives a blank page.

I know you said "no support requests".  But, admin_index.php comes up as a blank page when clicking on the Admin link in the latest 1.2 dev release.
