FYI, here is a great tool for determining what ads will show on which pages:

Subversion... gotcha.   I made the change to cache.php, but I guess I still need to remove cachefile for it to work?   Can you help a non-programmer out... where is the cachefile how do I remove it?  In the DB or is it an actual file?

But isn't it pretty much already like that?   People who want to be subscribed get email notifications? 

This feature, if I understand correctly, is just to help people remember to subscribe that otherwise would have liked to, but forgot.

Not a big deal if only a handful of people think this is a good idea.  I'm all about lean and mean.  Just trying to do a pro's / con's for this type of thing and it seems like this is relatively small.     

So, was the idea that the admin could enable or disable this?  I don't think the forum size is an issue, it is a return on investment issue.   If your income (direct or indirect) from a forum is relatively proportional to the size and activity of your forum then the size of the forum shouldn't matter as your hosting / server should also be growing relatively proportionally.   Now, if your forum is just a hobby / fun forum then maybe size matters.  Did that make any sense????

Sorry, bad communication on my end:  I'm saying that the system will just be sending a few additional emails for those people who forgot to hit "subscribe".   I was concerned that each and every pageview/post would have one more query, but the additional emails isn't an issue since the user's would have wanted them in the first place if they had only remembered to hit subscribe.

Okay, I'm an idiot.   Am I to assume the fix is in the newest "release" of this great script?

Smartys, you rock!  Sometimes I wish I spoke code as fluently as you guys do!   Why did I waste all that time (MONTHS) playing Scorched Earth?

Question.  Is the only change the time from 86400 seconds to 259200 seconds or were there other changes in there?

Thanks again!

Will any / all of those three additions really make such a huge resource usage impact on the server?   I'll have to rely on the group's collective coding experience on this one.   Are we saying a 1%, 10%, 25% 50% or 100% increase in resource usage over what the forum script is already using?   

It is hard for me to figure out the pro's and con's without the proper information.   Or am I not looking at this the right way?

Also, I'm a bit mod adverse.  Not being a programmer I get frustrated when I hack a script and/or use a mod and then a new version of the kernel/base script comes out and my mod is broke and I don't have a way to fix it.

I just had a user request more ways to be notified of new posts / topics.

Is there anything in the works, here are some things that I believe could be considered and implemented... either with the base application or as hacks / mods:

1)  Default "Subscribe to topic" settings so you are automatically subscribed to every topic you reply to.
2)  "Subscribe to Category"  The ability to get emails whenever a new topic is started in a specific category
3)  Daily / weekly digests of new topics for a forum and/or for categories.

As I mentioned before I think all forum owners want more visitors, more participation, and more sticky users.   These things mentioned in this thread are the types of tools that will help us achieve MORE! 

The goal of punbb is to be fast and lightweight.  Can the programmer types comment on how each of the items above would impact how fast and lightweight punbb is?

Thanks!

IESpell is great! http://www.iespell.com/

Beautiful!  Great idea and a great job.   Very intuitive and user friendly.

Thanks Connorhd... again, you are always there with the right answers! 

Anybody know where to edit the code?  I can't image it being a major change for me, just hard to find.
