you want "username='$post['username']'" (with the ' around the value). Same for password.

Dunno the problem on forum.php without looking at the source, but you really should remove that custom CSS mod (http://www.shizzled.com/viewtopic.php?pid=12718#p12718).

Edit: And the embedded SWF one.

Try creating a file call it phpinfo.php, and in it add

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Does this file work or is it blank too?

posts won't show if the person that made them is missing, check the users table and see if the user id that posted the missing posts exists or not.

Looks nice

My site with 15.5k threads and 221.9k posts and it runs with no problems at all.

It mainly depends on the quality of your hosting (as Jansson mentioned).

I had a similar problem when i first tried using Opera, it was due to the cache being set to only update once every 5 hours.

I think 1.3 will deal with it, until then it's easy enough to do with a mod.

I had a couple problems with people thinking it'd be funny to "crack" peoples usernames (brute force attack using programs such as access diver), but it was easily solved with image verification on login. This is a very rare problem though, and not specific to punbb either.

One thing I would suggest is either adding image verification to password resetting, or make a limit so a user can only request a new password once a day. I had a problem with people auto posting a users email in the reset page, resulting in them getting mail bombed with reset requests (not good for the user, or for my server).

Make it?

Forums fail when they have no main goal. Unless there is a reason to join a specific forum, people probably won't.

If you want a general board that covers everything, you will have trouble. Generally the users you would get would be people looking to join the actual community atmosphere, rather than joining for the content (if they wanted content they would probably goto a specific forum about the subject they are after). When starting, people won't join for the community, as there is none.

I would suggest trying to specialise in something, give people a reason to use your forums instead of others.
