You can leave it as it is. The change was to allow install on MySQL 5.0.25 and later.

You can either upload the "upload" folder and then rename it to whatever you want (for example "forum") or you can create a folder called "forum" on the server and then upload everything in "upload" into that folder.

You're being asked for MySQL details, not FTP. Your host should be able to provide you with those details.

There's no detailed walkthrough at the moment, but we're working on better documentation. I'm considering doing screencasts where I walk through common scenarios, for example install and initial setup.

I guess if we can do it efficiently, it shouldn't be a problem. I'll put it on the list.

shacker: No, he's referring to the users table. Look for the user with the username "Guest". This user should have id = 1 and g_id = 3.

Stefan Esser of the Hardened-PHP Project has written an extension that enables httpOnly support for cookies in Firefox 2. An httpOnly cookie is a cookie that cannot be read from a client side script, thereby preventing cookie stealing.

Digg it!

Thanks for the report. The parser is getting a complete overhaul in 1.3. I'll put this issue on the list.

Done.

Nah, that shouldn't affect anything. I'm sorry, but I don't know. I'd ask in the MySQL forums.

I'd ask your host or in the MySQL forums. It could be that the server runs out of physical memory. Not sure though.

Well, PunBB 1.3 has a print stylesheet for viewtopic right now. I prefer having just a print stylesheet as opposed to a print friendly page.

Yes, but I don't want to install a fresh copy. I want to upgrade.

I've tried "Check for upgrades..." in FF1.5, but still nothing.

Any more diggers around?

I'll wait for the forums to get a few more posts. I don't like linking people to empty forums.

Could we get a link to the forum in question?

There is a unlocalised text (Sort topics by) in line 281 of admin_forums (punbb 1.3 dev).

Got it. Thanks.

Why anyone would disable cookies completely is beyond me. You disable cookies and then you enable them for the sites that require it. That's how I have my system setup (using the excellent "Permit Cookies" extension for Firefox).

This could be a candidate for a PunBB 1.3 extension.

Sounds like a no-brainer to me, but I'll let Paul be the judge if it goes in or not.

Got it. Will fix in 1.3.

Once again, I haven't received any notification for this update.... I thought I should have because I subscribed to the newsletter.

Ludo,

And you didn't subscribe with an e-mail address you no longer use?

How about the filenames, if i let users upload for example images, do i need to check for the image names if they contains NULL byte?

If you're going to rely on the filename provided by the user, I would definately check it. Feel free to borrow the code from PunBB: http://dev.punbb.org/changeset/588

You should also make sure that the files that are uploaded don't end in for example .php. I would set up an array of allowed file extensions, strip out any NULL byte and then make sure the filename has one of the allowed extensions.
