Because that's the way the web works. If every link out there is "nofollowed", it will bring havoc on some sites. It should stay off unless you have a good reason not to (like spam).

Most of my point was the uselessness of the .htm end-string (which is a double non-sense). Adding good keywords in the url is always a good idea.

[[string]] is much, much better imho.

That would make quite a nice extension.

No it's not; and no it won't compared to others syntax of URI.

If you want money for GPL code, the ransoms are quite a good answer (if you want something back for your time, not make a living out of it).

Basically you get some reputation, write the extension, and describe it in details. Then, you set what you think is a fair price for it. Everyone can contribute, whatever money they feel (basically they are paying for using the extension, so it depends how much it's worth for them). You add up all the money, when the ransom is met, you release the extension. If the ransom is not met, you give everyone back their money.

Several (about 20~30 I think) plugins for Textpattern where contributed in that way, it work nicely for everyone.

It's here: http://dev.punbb.org/browser/branches/p … dev/upload

Find the XHTML and CSS surce in it. However, it's not a definitive styling code the dev have said.

You can see it in the trac browsing source app.

And there's several caching plugin if one need to handle an extra spike in traffic.

I'm hoping for a good Textile plug-in. It's becoming such a popular language now I think it should be integrated right into the system.

Amen.

Check the whole character set chain.

What version of MySQL, what charset and collate are set in it, what charset is used by PHP to manipulate SQL data, what charset are sent by Apache and PHP, and what charset is set in the XHTML source code.

See if there is any inconsistencies, things like that.

Gnah... PM... vade retro!

It might be useful orlandu, but that would require some serious brainstorming on the UI side. How to handle several dozens of threads for example, things like that.

Well, maybe forum 2 has a charset that's doesn't accept à.

Imagemagick is not so bad. However, that's more of a job for the future 1.3 extensions, no?

There already is one in PunBB 1.2.x

I still don't understand.

I don't really understand the issue. à is rendered find, whether it's a latin1 or 9 charset encoding, or a unicode encoding.

What are the forum incriminated?

Threads being marked as unread/read? If so, already planned.

Sirena, that's exactly why some developers stick to other approach of things. PunBB is one, Textpattern is another. Keep the core slim, fast, light, don't bloat it, and let the plugins do other jobs.

As far as I know, PunBB hadn't any major security flow mass exploited. Nothing compared to PHPBB and the like.

And from what I read, security is not a "major thing to do" in 1.3, because there is nothing to do, really. If they find flaws, they will address them. And of course on the other hand they won't write specific flawed code.

So yes they could say it if it make some feel better, but it's just an illusion; 1.3 has no reason to be more or to be less secure than the previous version; and those were nicely secured.

Everyone can download the current (I would call it alpha stage) version of 1.3, it's public.

I saw you post a couple of days ago when I investigated Simplepie, but it seems a little too ?under the hood? for me. I haven't wrote PHP for several years, and I'm no coder.

Well, maybe I'll check it out more thoroughly. Or even the pure simpliepie multiple feed, without Textpattern (I need it for two little personnel project, one without TXP mostly, the other one with or without TXP, it doesn't really matter/I haven't made my mind yet).

For TXP I've tried the bit_rss plugin (based on Simplepie), but it doesn't work too well for me.
