You should not be using MySQL 3 for any reason (in my opinion). MySQL 4+ is battle-tested and very very good. Plus, it already has a query cache.

Is there a mailing list for PunBB? It'd be nice to have an email of when there is a new version out.

Sub forums would require a lot of recursive algorithms which are, unfortunately, very inefficient for this task. I don't think Rickard would want to add that much code.

Darwin is the Unix (BSD-flavor with a mach-like kernel) base of OSX. The Apple GUI is not free or open source, nor are the programs like Safari. However, you can successfully run Gnome or KDE off of Darwin.

If lying is the only way to get users away from Internet Explorer than so be it.
Fight FUD with FUD, eh?
I think that accusation about Opera lying is a bit thin. I've worked in many print shops, web shops (currently employed as a web developer). What probably happened was they set up a graphic ready for when they assumed they would win, and when they lost, they told the guy to use the other graphic. He screwed up and put up that on instead... It got resolved later.
That's just my view of what may have happened. It's all to common that I forget to actually export the new image from Photoshop before I upload. I'll have uploaded the old version again.

it doesn't make SHA1 useless they can just crack it slightly more easily, and its still more effective than md5
What? That doesn't make sense to me. It's easier to crack... but more effective.

Yeah, I had been looking into converting all my stuff to SHA1 when I found that link. I know MD5 is nearing it's end-days but it's still better than SHA1! 
BTW, upgrade your FreeBSD box!

Just sending over the md5 is bad, you should use a MD5 challenge handshake system. I had written an implementation in JS a while back. I'm pretty sure Yahoo mail uses this method also. If you need some help w/ this email me.
I think I saw something like this on the PHP site. However I don't see how sending an MD5 is worse than sending a clear-text password.

Connor, it's not a fix. It's just an idea. Or possibly a feature.
Just because someone suggests something doesn't mean it's fixing something. It's a request to improve the current design. Don't take it personally.
EDIT: I'd love to hear Rickard's opinion. After all, it's his software

No, have a field that if javascript is enabled, change so that the PHP knows whether to use it or not.

We could always use javascript for MD5ing passwords before they're sent. Of course, this requires around 6k more javascript, but it's quite effective.
