Just curious, is there a way to set a post count where the user may define his/her own rank title?

It does not look like you can redirect as part of that directive.

Ah yes. I'm sorry, after all, I just got into your software about a week ago. I'll look into this.

Just replace the ampersand with the HTML equivalent: & amp;

If you show just the regular ampersand, it is not XHTML strict. yikes

If I were to type a tag with non-breaking space (& nbsp; ), PunBB doesn't parse it out. I'm going to put the nbsp; in the tag below:

<div> </div>

And you'll see that it does not show up! This also works with regular text like here --->

Oddly enough, it shows up correctly in preview mode. I'm too damn tired right now otherwise I'd help figure it out.

Dreamweaver is technically very good, but if you want to have cross-compatibility it may pay off to learn more about CSS and (X)HTML. When I started I used Dreamweaver almost exclusively but now I find that a simple text editor works better for me.

Not saying they can't, necessarily, but it is highly common for users to disable access to their email accounts. Plus email is considered much more personal than a public forum, so it weirds people out to receive strange emails...

Note the reason they chose the word 'forum' anyway.

If a user wants to comment on something totally unrelated to another party, they will typically do that via PM. Without enabled PMs, they're forced to either use email (highly uncommon) or post in the same thread. Think of this as an argument for your side...

I think a large reason for PMs that is consistently overlooked is to help prevent thread hi-jacking... which happens a lot.

Thanks for the comment about my site! I'm working on more articles as quickly as I can!!!

I concur.

I just had sort of a random thought on an alternative PM system. Now take this with a grain of salt as it is just a flash idea.

Perhaps there could be a forum specifically for private conversations. It could have a column for 'to' and one for 'from', carrying the ids of the people they are meant for. The specific threads would only be viewed by those in those columns. It would also help maintain a thread look and feel which I believe is much more efficient. I understand it would require a change in the forum schema, but I think a relatively small one. For example, if the forum were public, both of those columns would be '0' or NULL.

This is a simple feature, yet no other board has it. Thoughts?

No way. The internet only provides distribution and discussion of knowledge; it has nothing to do with porn!

I vote PMs 'no'!

A good rule of thumb is to use conjunctions as stopwords:

for
and
nor
but
or 
yet
so

And articles:

a
an
the

And other determiners:

this
that
these
those
which
what

I know, but I don't see a review process (if there is one). It would be good for users to vote or comment on the mod after using it.

It's a large changelog, although not a lot has to do with security. I would still recommend upgrading as soon as you can.

Perhaps there should be a community review process for all mods, like with a voting system?

I'd like to see a statistics center for core application performance. This would be good for debugging problems within PunBB and the user's server as well.

HAHAHAHA. Thanks. But it is not intended as a replacement for PunBB. It's mostly to be a custom forum freely downloadable smile

I'm planning to change it when I work out some sort of dynamic style sheet system.
