You just need a decent web hosting. Check the requirements (and the install instructions), you don't need to understand what they are just to make sure your hosting comply with them.

Then, download PunBB, extract it, upload the files to your server, and follow the install guide.

Overall, it's quite simple.

I don't mean to be rude, but 100 USD for ?I want it to blow my freakin' socks off.  it should look completely different from anything done for punbb in the past.  a theme that does this kick ass code justice.? is out of the question.

Non-breaking space _are_ very useful. In fact, for some things, we can't do without it.

However, they are *not* meant for layout issue, ever.

Non-breaking space on the web should be used as they were in traditional printing and typography: as a space that bind two words or glyphs together, so that they don't end up on different lines in the final text. Nbsp are even more important on the web because everything there is fluid, one can *never* fully control (even if they think they are, or are trying very very hard) how a text is displayed.

For example, in French I use a non-breaking space before each double punctuation (:;?!), inside French quotes («»), around dashes (?) to separate the thousands in big numbers, to separate the numbers from the currency sign,, sometimes as space in math formula. Those are mainly French rules, but there are similar things in other languages.
Or simply, I use them when I don't want a break to be inserted between two words, for example when I translated a book about Hong Kong a few weeks ago, I inserted a non-braking space instead of a regular space in the ?Pui O? and ?Shek O? location names, because if the ?O? were to be sent to the next line it might confuse the reader unfamiliar with Asian names.

File extension and image size mismatch aren't a good idea.

And by the way, vB resources aren't free, or libre.

No it's not. It's against etiquette and customs, it's a parasite activity that shouldn't take place.

Textpattern, Wordpress and Dotclear.

It depends on your setup, both for the writables directories (777 may be a very wrong idea on some servers), and the others.

Of course. And that's the trouble with some website today: when you have, for example, a Trac subversion interface, a PunBB forum, a Mediawiki knowledge base, and a Textpattern CMS/news system; allowing a visitor to search everything is a real pain in the...

Google can do it, but only as far as its index goes. Even on very well indexed sites, there's a significant delay between content publication and Google indexing it.

Yup, way too much useless non breaking spaces. These have very specific meaning, and should be use only when necessary (i.e. never for graphic or layout issue).

e seems nice. It's beta status quite shows, but the project is very interesting.

Unless his web server had a default charset encoding different from the meta tag (HTTP charset supersede the meta tag) for example. That would explain why setting it by hand with each page sent corrected the issue.

I had this one on an earlier alpha of PunBB 1.3 (when the setup page was still in Latin1, and my Apache was in utf-8).
