I believe one of the main points of PunBB is that you can do just about anything with the style sheets.

Zone Alarm == null
That about sums it up. I think most software firewalls have that problem, though I must admit Windows' firewall is probably the least intensive.

Looks like an SSL issue. Talk with your host about the error reported.

I don't like the windows firewall - just hogs resources on my machine Just my preference. I have a hardware firewall on this side of my internet connection. I've never had a problem with it, never had to restart it.

Re: reading from POP3/IMAP (9 replies, posted in Programming)
On further inspection you should be able to use imap_errors() to help find the problem. Put the following line of code near at the bottom and show us the results:
print_r(imap_errors());

Re: reading from POP3/IMAP (9 replies, posted in Programming)
Connor - he's using the actual method described on php.net. The error he described is after the condition "if ($folders == false)". He's not getting an actual folder list from the IMAP server.
Druvans - Are you sure that host you are attempting to connect to allows IMAP, and are you suer of the port?

Perhaps you could just have your provider forward those emails to your phone? For example, a phone email address is like 1234567890@cingularme.com
Check with your provider.

Re: Opera Lies About Popularity Status (13 replies, posted in General discussion)
Taking credit for inventing features that Opera have had for ages.
First of all, even if they were to do so, that is not FUD. The deal that Firefox has is it is up against Internet Explorer, not necessarily Opera. Why make this distinction? Because Firefox is free, as in Beer, Freedom and PunBB. They're marketing toward getting people who use IE exclusively to make the switch. Now, I don't claim that it is a perfect browser, but I do believe in my opinion that Firefox is generally superior. You have your opinion, I have mine. What I spread is not FUD. FUD = Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. I'm advocating a product that has made my life better (hell, I'm a web developer) and I wish that upon everyone else.
Thank you.

What is this fetish with alternative user agents all about. Is there anything on the web so important that you can't wait until you get home to look at it.
I wrote a ticketing system for my company and since I'm in the field doing miscellaneous crap, I need constant access to it. This "alternative user agent" is not an alternative for me. It is a necessity.

Re: Cache output of extern.php, a little help? (15 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
My board on a first load takes about 0.15 seconds. After that one (hit refresh) and it takes 0.015 seconds. My personal server uses MySQL 4.0. The servers I use and maintain at work use MySQL extensively for content, tracking user data, searching, etc. and I can tell you this cache is a lifesaver!

Re: Cache output of extern.php, a little help? (15 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
It sure does I think you misunderstood me a little though. I was just thinking of performance on the front page. Fetching active topics from all forums would most likely always return a new result set, so in that case, I wouldn't think you could improve performance by using query caches...?
I still believe it would. It would use the query to find all the newest posts, caching that query until a new post is made.
Anyway, I upgraded my local MySQL installation to v4, but for some reason, even if I set the query cache size to 64M, it doesn't seem to go any faster with PunBB. PhpMyAdmin querys runs *much* faster though, so I know it's working, but the page generation times for PunBB seems to be the same. Any particular reason why I'm encountering this behaviour?
I'm really not sure what could be causing this. It could be that since you have so few posts and topics on your laptop that it really doesn't make much difference period, considering the size of the database is VERY small. The overhead is probably not hit yet.
Secondly, it could be due to the fact that it is running on Windows. This is just a thought, as I have no experience with MySQL on a Windows box. MySQL was generally written for UNIX, ported to Windows as somewhat of an afterthought. Perhaps it doesn't read the configuration correctly?
Other than that, I don't know what to tell ya

Re: javascript not working in header (but working outside punbb) (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Open up your javascript debugger within your browser and see if it errs up. Might be a conflict between two sets of code, i.e. variable names.

Re: Cache output of extern.php, a little help? (15 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Actually, it does help quite a bit in a forum setting. If you look at the total number of views per topic in relation to how many posts/replies there are in said topic, you'll notice there is roughly a 1:12 (posts:views) ratio. So essentially just over 75% of the time (factoring in other... factors), the query cache is utilized. Plus, the cache will be utilized moreso in things that don't change so much, i.e. user info.
Does that help?

Re: Cache output of extern.php, a little help? (15 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
While true, that won't help much seeing as my host won't be upgrading anytime soon (blame it on the goddamn Ensim CP).
First of all, your host sucks
Otherwise, for the most part, your code is fine. A little funky, sure, but it isn't necessarily bad.
In any case, the less SQL querys one has to run, no matter if using MySQL 3 or 4, the better
I think your insistence against MySQL is somewhat unwarranted. In many cases (talking MySQL 4+ here) a simple query is often faster than opening/reading/closing a file. This is especially enhanced with the aforementioned query cache. Many people find that the more queries they use, the slower their code is. I find that the more I rely on MySQL, the better and faster my code is.
Why is that? Because I know how to optimize my queries and MySQL Server. Take a look at this article I wrote if you want to learn more.
By the way, I'm not attacking you! I'm just trying to dispell the myth that MySQL is the culprit when most of the time it is bad code. (Or in your case, a much much too old version of MySQL )
