i use PM's because our site is a community site, but we want it to be very fast, like punbb is.
we also have a dev team working with forums, currently using phpBB, and looking to transfer to something faster IE punBB, however I CANNOT DO THAT WITHOUT private messages lol

but im not inclined to ask the developer of this to include them into his package, however 3RD PARTY addon is just what im looking for.  i need the converter for phpBB to punBB (including a private message and poll mod addon (and support for converting those aswell!!!!!)).

this would be great, fast with some bloat, but i guess i have to sacrafise that, because as developers for a major modification/game we need to communicate.

check it out if you guys are interested, its a HL2 modifcation and its a tactical shooter, based on past tactical games much like rainbow six. www.totalretribution.com i was testing out 1.5 and even tho i can convert it, i want the major updates of 1.2 like security fixes and "faster"ness to it lol (not to mention the 3rd party addons i need for it).

im guessing that if you dont know, you should probably not do this, or learn computers ALOT more first. pick up some books etc.

anyways, i will try and help.

click on download link from the punbb front page, then choose the link to download the punbb zip file... zip is a file type that compresses a lot of files and puts them all in one file called a zip file, files have a name/description, and then a file extention... so its like this filename.extention and the extention for zip files is filename.zip

just click to download the file and it should download in your browser (assuming you have privilidges to do so on your computer).

save it to a location you know where it will be, again windows has a structure of files and folders (or directories).
you may want to get a file to open up the zip file, such as www.winzip.com or http://www.7-zip.org/ those are free, follow the download instructions above

use your windows explorer or "my computer" icon on the desktop to search for the location you stored the files and run them, a zip file will only open if you have installed something to open it with, but EXE files will open automatically.

i hope this helps, its probably much better if you read a book on these things, or take a class at your local college or something.

nice! i cant wait to try this out once the other guys get the PM and poll working

any screenshots?  i have no idea what it does.  willing to try it after someone makes a PM and Poll system for 1.2

will this mod work for 1.2? i want PM's in 1.2

and i always use email to notify me of private messages. i have forum accounts at MANY differnt forums... i need to know if im getting messaged. and if i dont want to be noticed by email, then i choose not to in the options (for any forum capable of PM's they do this such as phpbb, vb, etc).

i would like an option to enable it per admins request or users request, doesnt matter, but i require an email address thats valid for my forums.

please force yourself, im looking forward to it, and as an admin i have to be respected to my clients, that means i have to choose the correct software with as little problems as possible.

i too know how annoying this kind of thing can get, but its better for all of us if you could do it please.

i dont belive their are any chats based on irc, which is something i love to use, using my own client (ie mIRC).  for a website it is usually not really needed to join using the irc client, its to much to bother with for users, from a user stand point.  so a flash or java script would be better, to tell ya the truth, i think outa the both flash would be better, i only say this because it reacts much faster than that of java for MOST users (i use linux and windows, but in windows java interface lags and load times are terrable, but when using linux i have no problems at all). using flash would diminish all of that.

well, i usually just link to a MIRC irc link on my front page to save time im just giving suggestions.

well it is possible to do the comment number thing, the method that he is using will not display them.  its much faster that way, just like punbb is suppose to be.

if you need to im sure someone will code it to allow for it, but its not something that needs to be done in my opinion, tho for admin purposes's i like to see if theirs new comments on my site and view them, cause i dont often look at the comments.... but then again, if i wanted to i can just load up the forum news thread page and see.

the link works just fine for me.

well im not wanting a full CMS, nore do i belive delayed dates on forum posts would be considered a CMS only function, its just an advanced administer function.  i give an example of that being front page news, but can also be usefull with forum only posts.

if you say it can be created in a plugin thats great, i hope someone creates that, but i would also like to see a future version of punBB consider that option.....

i know the front news page is all static so if i wanted to write a script to display a forum post any date and time (from the front page) i can, but the point is that forum post is still their and viewable, and thats why i want the function incorperated into the forums themselfs, NOT only for that reason but for forum administration too.

im not saying you have to, just take it into consideration, its basically an if statement when it comes down to it??? isnt it? (i dont code myself anymore(i never coded in php either ) so thats why i am asking).

i wont argue this i was just requesting, and hope it gets considered. no harm in that.

the last request would be to add an admin function to change the EMAILS sent out to new registered users. i remember searching all over to find the text that was suppose to be sent to registered people, and i never found it. cause in it i would have added a message to have users CHANGE THEIR PASSWORD once they login using the temp password.  i had this problem with many people not bothering to do this and it got crazy for a while.

mabe these are suggestions that should be in annother topic, im sorry.
