Hmm... how come the largest & fastest growing boards listings each have the same forum listed three times?
The bit in bold is what they are winning on, its just a coincidence the same one happens to win on all 3.
I'll add mine, good work.

Noticed the problem when a user made a mistake with a quote tag, it resulted in something like that ^
Usernames with ! should work fine, i presume its a bug in the converter but i've never used it, or even looked at the converter.
Mine's kinda boring as well.
Rickard what do the fancy little ! and ? marks mean on those folders? Are they just custom icons, or do they represent something?
Heres mine, taken afew days ago

What is the error that appears?

A computer controlled by the power of thought alone has been demonstrated at a major trade fair in Germany.
The device could provide a way for paralysed patients to operate computers, or for amputees to operate electronically controlled artificial limbs. But it also has non-medical applications, such as in the computer games and entertainment industries.
The Berlin Brain-Computer Interface (BBCI) ? dubbed the "mental typewriter" ? was created by researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin and Charité, the medical school of Berlin Humboldt University in Germany. It was shown off at the CeBit electronics fair in Hanover, Germany.
The machine makes it possible to type messages onto a computer screen by mentally controlling the movement of a cursor. A user must wear a cap containing electrodes that measure electrical activity inside the brain, known as an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, and imagine moving their left or right arm in order to manoeuvre the cursor around.
"It's a very strange sensation," says Gabriel Curio at Charité. "And you can understand from the crowds watching that the potential is huge."
Learning algorithmsCurio says users can operate the device just 20 minutes after going through 150 cursor moves in their minds. This is because the device rapidly learns to recognise activity in the area of a person's motor cortex, the area of the brain associated with movement. "The trick is the machine-learning algorithms developed at the Fraunhofer Institute," Curio says.
John Chapin, an expert in using implanted electrodes to control computers, agrees EEG sensing technology is advancing rapidly. "There's been a lot of progress on the non-invasive side in recent years," he told New Scientist.
The German researchers hope to develop a commercial version of the device as an aid for paralysed patients and amputees.
Chapin adds that brain-computer interfaces could have a range of uses beyond the medical. "Signals from the brain give you a fraction of a second advantage," he says. The device could make a novel game controller and be used in other ways. The researchers have even begun testing the machine as a driving aid, as it can sense a sudden reaction and control a vehicle's brakes before even the driver can.
The next stage is to develop a cap that does not have to be attached directly to the scalp. This should make the device easier to use and cause less skin irritation for the wearer.
So that it redirects instantly, or so that it doesn't redirect at all?

How's PunBBig doing?

3. Lack of interest.I'm gonna try to go through the site someday and update it. Maybe make it more automated, so that the sites people adds are connected to their forum. I also have about 20 "I need help with the punbb-converter"-mails in my inbox...
That reply as 3 months ago and it still hasn't been updated 
Does anyone know if there exists a public blacklist of known anonymous proxies, something like Spamhaus but for IP addresses?
opm.blitzed.org
xbl.spamhaus.org
Both of those are for open proxies etc, oposed to spam.
What Elzar ment to show is that the image your linking to is hosted using SSL, so even though your site itself is not using SSL, the image is, hence is not cached. If you want it cached you should host it elsewhere, if you worried about bandwidth put it on a free file host, such as www.upit.be
format_time() is defined in includes/functions.php, it is basically just a slightly fancier version of date().
A temp. way you could do it is add an extra usergroup, call it unverified or something, and set it was the default usergroup for new registrations. If you give it no permissions to post, then you can manually verify them by moving any members in that group to member as you wish.
you could use something along the lines of:
function valid_username($username) {
return preg_match('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/', $username) == 0;
}That will only allow alphanumeric characters.
Alright thanks, was just wanting to make sure 1.3 would have some kind of support for it, email flooding can be a big problem.
I think a flood limit on password reset requests would be handy in 1.3 (if it hasn't already been implemented).
I just had some kid thinking it's cool to refresh the page constantly, which resulted in one of my users being badly email bombed by my server.
I added in a limit so you can only reset once a day, I think it would help increase security even more in 1.3.
Sorry if its been suggested, couldn't find it using the search button though.
It means your host has mail() disabled for some reason, either set the smtp details in the admin options to use that instead, or you'll need to change to a host which doesn't disable it. (Or turn registration emails off)
It's not ment to be I don't think, custom titles override rank/usergroup titles.
Thanks Paul, will fix that up later and see how it works.
Edit: Got it all fixed up, except for the top and bottom borders in IE. Display:block works as you said, but I want the buttons inline :\
I started work on a site afew days ago, and have ran into a couple issues related to CSS.
span.button {
background-color:#890000;
border:1px solid #000000;
margin:auto;
}
span.button:hover, span.selected {
background-color:#000000;
}
.inbutton {
margin:3px 9px 3px 9px;
}<span class="button" title="Come join our IRC server"><a href="irc://irc.syi.cc/syi" class="inbutton">IRC</a></span>This is some code I have, which displays 1 "button" in my menu header. It should be dark red with a 1px black border, have a 9px margin either side, and change to black when hovered over.
This all works perfectly in firefox.
In Internet Explorer 6, I see no top or bottom border on the box, and it does not change colour when hovered over. Yet IE6 obviously supports :hover, since A:hover works? And I see no reason for the border to half work when it works fine on the rest of the page.
In Opera the span does not stretch across the full text, but seems to stop around halfway. The only explination for this I can guess at is that it is being positioned right by the .inbutton's margin, but it's length is being determined soley by the text length, rather than the margin and the text?
Ideally I would like a way to fix this without needing to write any messy script to altar code based on the browser (assuming thats possible?), so help would be much appreciated.
If it's mypunbb, no. If its your own forums, then that up to your host.
Is there a way to control the order of an UPDATE query? I've never heard of such a thing, but it would be handy for this kind of situation.
Something like this maybe? You should try it out...
$db->query("UPDATE ".$db->prefix."groups SET Id=Id+1");
Doesn't work because group_id is a key, meaning there cannot be more than 1 row with the same entry. The query will try to start with group_id 1, and make it 2. There is already a 2, so it throws an Error.
Sounds weird on yahoo's end, are they not even in your spam box?
omg, they tore off the punbb copyright, it doesnt say richard did it, how HAPPY. a big company pwned pun. this could be called pwndBB
You are allowed to remove the copyright, aslong as you don't replace it with your own.
