Thanks for bringing this up again. I am aware that it isn't properly fixed and I was going to have a look at it. However, just putting CRLF line breaks everywhere won't work. The problem is that, most of the time, mail() isn't talking to an SMTP server, it's talking to a command line program running on the server. That command line program expects linebreaks that are native to the operating system on which it is running. Have a look at PHP Bug #15841.

The implementation we have now is in my opinion the most sensible. The only time mail() will be talking directly to an SMTP server is if we're running Windows and then we feed it proper CRLF's. If we aren't running Windows, we know mail() will be talking to a command line program and thus, we use the OS's native line breaks.

Well, yes, but don't you think it's time to move on?

Ah, I thought it was caesium-132!

Wow! That looks amazing.

I really don't care about the copyright notice, but I do like it when there's a link back to punbb.org. The way it looks now is fine by me.

That's a problem with your postfix setup. I can't help you with that.

Whoops smile

I just deleted the link to punbb.ru. It doesn't appear to be active anymore.

Exactly. Without him, PunBB would probably still look like something from 1998 big_smile

Have a closer look smile

You probably compiled PHP before you installed postfix. The PHP configuration scripts searches for a compatible mailer and if it doesn't find it, it disables the mail functionality. Try reconfiguring/recompiling PHP. That should do it.

Try placing a file called .htaccess in your forum root containing the following:

AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-1

You're right, it does make you feel good smile Thank you.

I really can't tell without access to the database.

There were no database changes between 1.2.4 and 1.2.7 apart from the version number increment, so the fact that you updated the scripts has no effect what so ever. I guess you could try deleting the .php scripts in the cache-folder. I doubt it would do any good though.

Det är så lätt att föreslå nya funktioner, men det är desto svårare att välja ut några enstaka som skall implementeras.

is the XHTML of a post cached in the database?

No, it's processed on the fly.

Try re-uploading the files. Perhaps one of the files required by the installer is corrupt.

Well, if you restored the full database, you should see them like it was before. I really can't tell without looking in the database.

Well, according to the database, you are subscribed:

mysql> SELECT 1 FROM subscriptions WHERE user_id=4026 and topic_id=6056;
+---+
| 1 |
+---+
| 1 |
+---+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

Are you sure the link at the bottom doesn't say unsubscribe? You weren't looking at a cached page or something?

I still haven't been able to receive a straight answer as to how stripping out HTTP_REFERER increases security. I guess they call it a "privacy feature". People are too paranoid.

It's amazing that some hosts haven't upgraded to MySQL 4.* yet. The benefits are enormous and it has been production ready for a long time now.

Very odd. I really can't say what the problem is. Most hosts use QMail and yours is the first I've heard of with this problem.

You'd have to ask the MyPunBB people about that.

Thing is, I want to keep the mods very clearly separated from PunBB. I know the phpBB people have lots of problems with people complaining that something is broken in phpBB when in fact, it is a problem related to a mod. I want to everything possible to avoid that.

Anyway, I've updated the links the way Paul suggested (it now reads "Mods and Styles").
