Talisman isn't talking about making PunBB commercial in any way. That will never happen. He's simply talking about adding features to PunBB that will allow an administrator to i.e. sell services in his/hers forum. Those kinds of features will most probably never make it into the PunBB source code, but they can of course be distributed as mods.

Edit: Don't forget the third paragraph of this text: http://punbb.org/about.php

Talisman: I have a hard time seeing why spending a lot of time on a mod is a bad thing. Mods that are "knocked up in about 1 hour" is NOT something we want for PunBB. I see only good things coming out of the hard work Frank H is putting down on his mod.

BTW, if there are any doubts I can tell you all right now that PunBB will be completely free as long as I live. That implies both commercial and non-commercial use. Making money out of PunBB was never my intention anyway. If I make any money from PunBB it will be in the form of a higher salary when/if I get a dayjob as a software developer :)

Actually, I just opened my e-mail for the first time today, so now I've read it :)

I'll respond to this over e-mail.

Yes, that is an option :)

If you try to look at one of the images directly by entering the URL in the address bar of your browser, you get the message "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /img/Oxygen_new.png on this server". What I'm guessing is that the permissions are somehow wrong. You have to make sure that the user that is running your webserver has read access to the img directory and all files in it.

Ah, nice. I like the colors :P

Perhaps it should. However, the forum only stores the date/time for the last post, so linking to the last post would require a query to determine the last post ID. An alternative would be to add a column to the user table. We'll see :)

The first post isn't indexed, so you can't search in it :)

You're right. I'll make a note of it.

I know something else about that first post that you haven't discovered yet :-)

Hehe, well, I don't have a lot to do right (computer-wize anyway) now except work on PunBB. My last year of studies starts on september 1 and I want to try to get as much work done until then. The fact that I have two exams before then will have to be secondary :)

You have to change some things in parser.php as well. Can you wait for 1.1 or do you want instructions? :)

Kryptonic: So you're saying you need to be able to post with HTML?

If I were to say that I was considering removing the ability to allow HTML in posts and signatures. What would you respond?

It's possible, but it's a little tricky. It will be much easier in 1.1 though. If you really want to give it a go, I recommend you read this topic: http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2477

Point taken. From now on I will list the files that have changed when releasing a new version. From 1.0 to 1.0.1 I believe almost all files have changed though. It's mostly because of the switch to pun_htmlspecialchars().

Ah, I see. Why it turns out exactly like that I don't know. I do however, know of a better way to do what you want to do. Instead of editing the style sheet and entering a fixed width there (which will mess up the layout in other places), you should just "wrap" your hole content in another table. Like this:

http://punbb.org/stuff/sw.txt (save as or open and then view source)

Using the template above requires that you restore the style sheets to the way they looked when you installed the forum.

Edit: Grr. Bad URL.

Read more about it on the front page. I recommend that everyone upgrade due to the security issue in 1.0. It's not easy to exploit, but nothing is impossible.

Hmm, odd. I don't really understand what you mean though. Could you perpaps take a few screenshots or give us a link to the board?

A cross site scripting issue involving the img tag and client-side scripting has been discovered in PunBB 1.0. The issue has been resolved in PunBB 1.0.1 which can now be downloaded from the download page. Apart from the security fix, PunBB 1.0.1 includes the following changes:

- Fixed moderator username not being updated in the forum moderator list when he/she changes his/hers username (thanks Magoo!).
- Replaced all calls to htmlspecialchars() with pun_htmlspecialchars(). The function is identical to the PHP version but doesn't translate &#xxxx style entities. This way a lot of non ISO-8859-1 charsets will still be viewable regardless of the Content-Type meta tag.
- Implemented workaround for searching in multibyte character text. I'm not 100% sure it works, but it should at least work better than before.
- Added operating system to the admin index page statistics.
- Added named anchors to the different help sections in help.php. Links to the help document from other scripts now point directly to the section of interest. Thanks to Frank H for the suggestion!
- Removed the language choice from the install script. PunBB will be distributed with the english language pack only. Other languages will have to be downloaded from the website.
- Fixed typo in swedish language file for delete.php (thanks Grillcliff!).
- Fixed error on admin index page when using "exotic" characters in the database name.

As usual, update instructions can be found in docs/install.html.

A big thanks goes out to frog-m@n from http://www.phpsecure.info/ who discovered the vulnerability and was kind enough to give me due time to fix it. I owe you one man! :)
