Goddamn its quick!

It's so incredible fast! I've used spraymail before, and they're not even playing in the same league :D

Edit: Found one drawback: It seems like it doesn't work in opera :(

What is wiki?

In short, it's a sort of webpage where everybody is free to edit the contents of a page.

Wikipedia.org is one of the largest wiki-pages. See their Wiki-page for more info.

Well, it shouldn't be that hard to do. I might look at it tomorrow (I'm not promising anything here though...)

Well, if i've got a few invites to spare ill post it here, the waiting list is currently 34 people/friends. When those are sent i'll post here.

As I assumed, seems like everyone want's an account :)

Oh, another thing: Rickard will probably get about one invite a week. ^^

Maybe I could give Rickard $1 and get an account from him then ;P

I get multiple invites a week.

I've got two accounts wich 1 is an invited one (from myself)

On the "original" account i get like 3-10 invites a week.
Interval between the invites doesn't make any sense to me, i think google just dispatches invites when theyre ready for heavier load (testing and stuff)

Okay, sounds like a probable cause yes... you don't have anyones you don't use, or do you sell your's too? (As in: Could I get one if you're not using it? :D)

I actually purchased an invite via EBay ($1.50 :D) last night. I'm at work now though, so I can't check to see if I received anything.

Oh, I though they were MUCH more expensive than that! How many beta-testers do they have?

Edit: Seems to be a lot of accounts for sale: search.ebay.com...

Edit2:Quote from a seller:

This auction is for 1 Google gmail invitation.  I've sold 40+ invites already, check my profile for satisfied buyers... I have 100% satisfaction, so bid with confidence.

40 accounts? Don't they just get one account, and one extra to give away? Can gmail-users invite people as they want or how does it work?

Telling the world about GMail's 1GB limit on April 1 also made it more hysterical :D When it's public, I want one for sure! I think they'll get tons of users as soon as they open up.

Hopefully it's as slick as google.com is now, then I'm sattisfied.

How does the updating work?

A perl script "opens" the forums and parse the html-code for statistics each night. There are some different ways to do it: parse the index-page, or extern.php. I'm also working on an own stats-file people could use to make it easier for me. This one could also include more info than I can fetch from the original files.

This site will rank the biggest punbb boards, is that correct?  How about the most active?  Some boards may be just starting out, but may have heaps of active discussions...

It's a good idea. Chacmool could periodically check the number of users and guests online.

That sounds like a good idea yes :)

Though, it's gonna need alot of checks to get some reliable info since the onlinelist changes all the time. It would be much easier to have an own stats-info-page which could show info like: "amount of users who visited the forum within a day/week/month" and so on.

It's all changed in v1.2. Paul is working on it :)

Paul wrote:

All of it's changed. You will be able to do considerably more to style PunBB but doing the basic things like changing colour scheme will be easier than it is now. I have given thought to those who have integrated PunBB into their sites and have used PunBB class names for their own pages. Their sites should still work fine with virtually no alterations needed.

Edit: The quote is from this thread.

Gaaah! Now it happened again! MySQL have 1500 processes running, and can't create new ones :( And to make things worce, I don't have root-access :(

RNilsson wrote:

Are you using mysql_pconnect? In that case try using mysql_connect isnstead.
If you're using mysql_connect already, try putting a mysql_close() in the bottom of your scripts to make sure they close.

I'm running Pun on it, and the owner have a PhpBB-forum or something like that. Don't know if he's using any pconnections though...

Do I need to close the connection when using Perl?

It should work fine, don't know why you're having any problems.

Though, you could try to change this line in message_list.php:

$subject = '<a href="?id='.$cur_mess['id'].'&p='.$_GET['p'].'&box='.(int)$_GET['box'].'">'.$cur_mess['subject'].'</a>';

Into this:

$subject = '<a href="message_list.php?id='.$cur_mess['id'].'&p='.$_GET['p'].'&box='.(int)$_GET['box'].'">'.$cur_mess['subject'].'</a>';

Chacmool is it means that http://www.rmm.net.ru should be on the first place of your big boards list?

yeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss

and one more question should i put any statistics script on my board to count statistics for your big boards list?

Yes, it's currently the biggest one :)

It's not necessary, I'm parsing the homepage, or using "extern.php?action=stats". Though, I've been thinking of doing an own stats-page that I can fetch info from as extern.php doesn't show which version the forum is running.

under Opera when i click on message it takes me to main page.

Error is in message list
for example when i under IE click on message for example http://mysite.com/message_list.php?id=3 … &box=0 it takes me to message

under Opera when i on message list click on message opera is making link like http://mysite.com/?id=3&p=&box=0 without message_list.php in address.

Is it possible to check and update bug? version 1.0.7

I'm running Opera too, so I shouldn't have missed it... I'll look at it soon.

One thing that comes to mind is the ability to submit new sites. You could just do a simple mail form that informs you so you can check it out and approve/discard it.

True! Adding it right away.

My last project is soon finished! :)

I've been working on a "punbb-big-boards" (like www.big-boards.com, but for PunBB-boards). What I got so far is the list, a per-board info page and some general stats. Click the thumbs for a closer look:

Edit: Open for public now, the url is: punbbig.shacknet.nu

What do you think? Is there anything missing? Somethings wrong/stupid? Is "Growth" a good word for describing "new posts/topics/users per day"? "PunBBig" sounds weird... what should I name it?

Someone (I think it was bamsefar) mad a button a while ago:

Don't really understand what's wrong... ("re-poll"?)

Are there old results left when you remove it and make a new poll?

Punbb works a as a clock, i use to be on Invision but it takes to much traffic with punbb my traffic costs me 3 times cheaper:))))))

flying as usual :D

Nice! That makes it the largest forum (known to me anyway...). You beat barrowfc.com with 2500 posts :D

Link?

There's a delete-link in the top-right corner of the poll :) Maybe it's time to move it though, it's a bit hidden as it is now...

Sounds like you have a javascript error... the readme instructions might be a bit tricky, take a close look at it :)
