Well, you need to take a backup of the old forum database somehow (maybe using the backup plugin) and then you need to upload and restore that backup on the new server. Then edit your config.php accordingly.

Re: 1.3 teaser (121 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I can't figure out why it is that the demo won't come up in Firefox (beta 1.5).
When I used the HTML Tidy extension and its "Clean Up Code" function, it then displayed the demo in the extension window. Strange ...
I use Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 and it works for me. Odd.

I got fed up with all the crappy mass mailer applications out there, so I wrote my own in .NET:

It took about an hour. Testing out maybe 10 other applications that didn't work properly took a lot longer.

No, they've found collisions in SHA1 as well. It's nowhere as commonly recurring as MD5 though.

I get the impression people are spending more time trying to "hack" current existing algorithms than actually developing new ones.

Re: search words bugs? (10 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
Ah, of course. I see the problem now.
$num_chars = pun_strlen($word);
if ($num_chars < 3 || $num_chars > 20 || in_array($word, $stopwords))
unset($words[$i]);
should be
$num_chars = pun_strlen($words[$i]);
if ($num_chars < 3 || $num_chars > 20 || in_array($words[$i], $stopwords))
unset($words[$i]);
It's not a the end of the world though, so I'll hold off on fixing it until 1.3.

Re: Ban Exploit (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I am not aware of any such vulnerability. It should be noted however, that a ban is set for the username and or IP address. Anyone can just register with a new username and a new IP. There is no way to protect the forums from that.

Re: search words bugs? (10 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
ho, I see... are side effects related to the indexing of web domains? (eg: www.punbb.org)
Yes, but also for words such as "file.php".
mmmh I guess there's something else that should be done for this issue then. Words in the stopwords file followed by a "." [period] are still inserted into the DB, and two letters words followed by a period are treated as 3 letters words (eg: "dr." is inserted as "dr").
I can't see what's wrong with the current implementation. It filters out any periods at the beginning and the end of words, but it allows them in the middle of words.

Re: Search words are not indexed if a appostrophe is used l'éléphant (33 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
True. In the case of "l'éléphant", it would be good because the "l" doesn't affect the "meaning" of the word. On the other hand, "shouldn't" would be treated as "should" and "t" where "t" would be ignored and then it inverts the meaning of the word.

Re: search words bugs? (10 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
Actually, that was an error. Adding it to the end of the march/replace arrays had some unwanted side-effects. I "re-removed" the period from those arrays and instead filtered it out with trim().

Re: Search words are not indexed if a appostrophe is used l'éléphant (33 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
Sorry to bump this rather old topic... but replacing ' with a [space] instead of a [null] wouldn't solve this issue?
No, because then it would be treated as two words.

Re: PunBB 1.2.10 (69 replies, posted in News)
Thanks a lot for the new version. I have one question though. I haven't kept up on updates, and my version is 1.27. I have many mods installed, and would have to upgrade using the patch, then the hdiff if needed. What I am wondering is, would I need to do the patch for 1.28, then 1.29, then 1.2.10, or if I did the newest 1.2.10 patch and probably hdiff would it cover everything? Thank you for everything you do.
Just grab the diff or hdiff that takes you from 1.2.7 directly to 1.2.10. You can find them if you look around in the download archive. Then run the upgrade script 12_to_1210_update.php. That will bump up your version number in the database.

In punbb-1.2.10-changed_files.zip the update file is 12_to_129_update.php. Need a fix ?
Thanks. I've update the changed files packages.
Note to self: Write shell script to create the packages for a new release so I don't f*ck up again.

Topic: PunBB 1.2.10 (69 replies, posted in News)
In the effort to release updated version as soon as possible after new issues are discovered, I hereby present PunBB 1.2.10. This release has been made to fix a couple of semi-serious security issues as well as a few minor bugs and annoyances. Fingers crossed, 1.2.10 should be the last release in the 1.2 tree. No, that does not mean I have a date or even an educated guess as to when 1.3 will be released. There are just too many variables involved for me to do that.
Thanks go out to Jonatan Wulcan, Stefan Esser, Smartys and Michael "PMD" Dorman.
Enjoy!
Edit: While trying to send out the newsletter for this release, the program I have been using to broadcast the announcement broke down completely. I will find a different tool tomorrow and give it another go. I apologize for this.

I see the problem. For some reason, PunBB doesn't strip out periods. I can't believe I've missed that. I will fix it for the next release. Thanks for the detailed report.
