Strange thing, I installed it under WindowsUpdate yesterday (it's in my installation history) but I can't find it anywhere on my system

That's cool dude

This is not a feature I'd like to see in the official PunBB. Why PHP and why not Perl, Ruby, C, ... ?

<code> is enough, use/create a mod if you want more.

Right, until you switch to UTF-8 or 16, it's better to use entities: yoiu won't have to wait for a translator

Yes you are right. Well then, is there a motive to use entities ? If not, I think it would be better to write french in the code without entities.

I'll check it for you as I'm not affiliated to any of the two I'll read the 2 tonight.

I wasn't, english isn't my native and I certainly don't speak it well enough. I was just saying that the advanced user already knows that :
* For a normal link:
- left clicking a link opens it in the same window
- middle-clicking or shift-clicking opens it in a new window
* for a "_blank" link:
- left clicking a link opens it in a new window
- middle-clicking or shift-clicking opens it in a new window (same behaviour)

So yes, those "_blank" are a hassle to advanced users, they give them no choice where there is one with normal links. I'm not putting down common users because of that, it's a fact that "_blank" have ZERO advantage.

If PunBB followed the big crowd without thinking about its choices, it would stick to "_blank" links, true. But it's not, and it's little choices similar as this one which brings better things later, because not using "_blank" is really the way to go. The web isn't a Win32 program, and those "_blank" link might not be this annoying for a common windows user (they are for the Win32 advanced user), but it is for everyone else. For example, I'm using an iBook besides other web clients, and I rarely use the trackpad on, except when I click on a "_blank" link, very annoying... This is just an example, of course.

The main idead is that the web wasn't designed to be able to get out of the window we've put it in (meaning "_blank" links, but also popups are bad interface design for a website, sorry for all those pseudo-designers who think it's leet to put a 800x300 flash in a 800x300 popup as a website, it's simply wrong), I'm certainly explaining it bad, but you should find enough talk about the subject on the web to understand why it's bad.

Les migrations possibles sont marquées dans le README de l'outil de migration cité plus haut, le mieux est d'aller checker par toi-même

No you aren't an expert. Google (and every other SE) handles plop/glop/yop the exact same way as plop?glop&yop. The idea about static urls being better was valid when altavista was No 1, back before 2000, because it didn't. But even alatvista indexes dynamic pages with arguments now.

I only see another attempt to add unneeded bloatware to PunBB, and btw, the best way to achieve static URLs is by giving directives to your web server (usually apache), this has nothing to do with PHP if your webserver isn't using the right module (mod_rewrite for example)

Why do you even bother ? punbb.org is cool, check http://www.gnustep.com/, nobody ever cared about it, only the one who bought it

You'll buy the .com then what next ? the .net then the .info then the .fr every other country ?
One domain is enough and it's even better to have only one, it prevent confusing people

And more, by buying it off the cybersquatters, you'll reward their practice, just ignore them...
