Speaking of unverified users, could they be listed as that (by title) on userlist.php?

The reason they are not is that I think that's a little bit too much information to give to users.

I repeat: Enable debug mode and paste the full error.

If you don't know how, see http://punbb.org/docs/faq.html#faq2_7

The default style and default language are the style and language people get by default. Try logging out and you should get them.

Can't see a problem with this. I'll add it in 1.3.

If he modified your index page, that would suggest that he somehow has managed to get write access to your forum root directory. I doubt this has to do with PunBB, but who knows.

Have you entered a username and password for SMTP in admin/options? If so, try clearing them.

In PunBB 1.3, we've switched to RSS 2.0. We'll see, maybe we will backport the RSS 2.0 support to 1.2, but I won't promise anything. Thanks for the heads up though!

I am a little tempted to try this out myself. The idea of being able to bring my punbb dev environment on a USB stick is very tempting. It also means I don't have to litter my work computer or my home computer with mysql, apache etc.

Believe it or not, but I agree. I have never liked the long lines, particularly when it comes to database queries.

/me runs off to assign a ticket to himself.

something that noone has mentioned most reliable hosts have is a forum. if they give the option for their customers and potential customers to give feedback then that should say something about them as a company as a whole. they aren't trying to hide behind a support desk or email address.

just my opinion really.

I couldn't agree more. TextDrive does this. They might not be the most reliable host in the world, but they are very open about their business and they do give you a lot of freedom.

magic_quotes is evil. In my opinion, it causes more problems than it solves. In PunBB, we check if magic_quotes_gpc is on and if it is, we run stripslashes() on everthing in $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE. Now we know that stuff hasn't been escaped. We then run the database specific escape function before we insert it into the database. If PunBB only supported MySQL, we could just as well run addslashes(), but addslashes causes some problems with SQLite or PostgreSQL (can't remember which).

If you want rock solid UNIX hosting, you probably can't beat pair Networks. They've been around forever and they're always on top in Netcraft's hosting reliability statistics.

Probably, yes. It's the same issue as this: http://dev.punbb.org/changeset/661

Talk to your host.

As long as you're not inserting binary data (such as images) into the database, addslashes() will do fine.

The main thing to keep in mind when trying to setup lighttpd with PHP on Windows, is that it will not work properly (or at all) running with FastCGI.

Which pretty much makes it useless on Windows smile

PunBB's function dump() does just that. It does however accept any number of arguments.

Do SF offer subversion hosting or are they still on CVS?

Now this has nothing to do with Microsoft, but this is the problem with all the current smart phones. They look horrible and their interface is horrible. Here's where the innovation with the iPhone comes in. It's not technically superior, but it's tasteful.

Maybe you should go with something that's a little easier to get setup?

Or you could try dump($pun_user) big_smile

All new features will be implemented in 1.3. Serious and semi-serious bugs (this includes security problems) will be fixed in 1.2. Obviously, we can't release a new 1.2 version whenever we fix some minor problem in 1.3. Some of them require big re-writes which is the reason they're in 1.3 in the first place. When we have enough annoyances in 1.2 that we believe it warrants a new release, we will release it.

Hi Worf,

Thanks for the patches. Much appreciated.

We removed the useless group by in subversion a couple of weeks ago. We haven't backported the change to the 1.2 tree though.

We're not getting rid of JS in 1.3. We're getting rid of inline JavaScript. We won't remove any JS functionality. It'll just be kept in an external .js file.

I've gotten the impression that Trac is unable to handle multiple concurrent users.

Is my source of information wrong?

Well, I think what you've read somewhere is that it doesn't handle _a lot_ of concurrent users with grace. Trac isn't exactly the fastest piece of software I've encountered. Still, it does the job very nicely.

Kaboon: I promise I will do my best to get Trac up and running for you all this week.
