Well, maybe. Not in 1.1 though.

I fixed it by storing last_visit in the database and last_action in the cookie. So, for every page view, last_action is updated, but it's only when the user times out that the database is updated.

Well, there's ini_set(), but it won't work for stuff like variables_order since that affects stuff that happens before the script is executed.

The only thing I think can be related is variables_order. Try setting it back to it's default value.

A good idea. However, that was just an example. What happens on the front page when/if you want to display more than one level of forums? There you want to display stuff like number of topics and posts, so a caching solution like the one you suggested for the "Jump to" isn't really doable.

I've been thinking about having some form of identifier column for every forum. You could then order by this identifier column. The column would look something like this for the different forums RNisson sugguested:

Cat Games
     SubCat PC           1
          Forum RPG      1.1
          Forum Action   1.1
     SubCat Mac          2
          Forum RPG      2.1
          Forum Action   2.1
     SubCat Console      3
          Forum RPG      3.1
          Forum Action   3.2

Yeah, that's the way it's usually implemented, but it's not very effecient. You run into trouble when you want to select more than one level of forums in a single query. E.g. creating the "Jump to" drop down menu.

If I can come up with a simple and effective way of implementing subforums, I will consider it, I have yet to see a good implementation though.

Honestly, no :)

Nice. Something like this is actually on my internal todo-list for 1.1 :)

Sweet! I hope a lot of you guys will try this out because it's a really high quality mod.

I can't access the page you linked to.

Edit: I now managed to access it, but it's really wierd. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just "hangs" and appears to never time out.

Edit2: I'm played around with it a bit, and it's really odd. If I log in, close the browsers and then return, it sets a cookie called fh_member_cookie and the contents of the cookie is only "deleted". Do you know why that might be?

Edit3: It only does the above when using Moz Firebird. Not in IE.

I'm sorry, but I have no clue what the hell is going on.

PunBB does not support subforums. You can only have one level of forums.

I just figured out why the e-mail to gduncan above never got through. My ISP (Telia) blocks all outgoing e-mail to aol.com as a part of their fight against spam. Go figure :)

It should be noted that anything that involves adding more columns to the different database tables goes through a more thorough screening process than other, simpler changes and add-ons. "User-time-change" requires the addition of a new column in the user table.

Well concessions have been made to change the whole of PunBB for a specific language. Seems like concessions for a date format could be possible.

Yeah, that's what "Time format" and "Date format" in admin/options are for :)

denisjl: Sweet, but the zip archive is corrupt. Could you perhaps e-mail it to me and I will upload it to this website. Please don't forget to include what name (and any other info) you want me to include in the credits on the download page.

Could you perhaps link to the documents so that we can try it out from here?

But if theres a default in the text box such as "Y-M-d" then surely a User can understand what to change.

And if the user doesn't understand then they can leave it.

If they manage to balls it up then there can always be a "Revert to Default" function couldn't there?

You wouldn't believe the things some users try out. I'm certain such a function would lead to confusion and questions like "Why doesn't PunBB display any times?" and other stupid things.

Having a radio button with a number of predefined selections is an option, but I'm not sure I like it. It's not only a matter of solving the problem. The solution has to be elegant.

Why can't people everywhere just use the international standard? YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS that is :)

Well, it's certainly possible, but as you noted yourself, it's not very punbbish. A mod perhaps?

Could you explain exactly why you want to pull the password from the database? I don't understand.
