Hi everyone! I think that topicstarter must be a moderator of thread he created. He should can open/close/edit discussion. I'm sure it's one of the main idea of forum, isn't it?
I strongly disagree. The general idea of a forum is to be able to conversate with your peers about various topics. Moderators are the worthy among them which have shown in the past that they:
a.) have a brain and know how to use it
b.) can lead the discussion in the "right" direction
c.) can edit and/or delete posts which don't fit in to the discussion according to the specific forums rules and guidelines
Although, I see that maybe on some "more specific" forum this option could be usefull

You are right about utf-8 safe functions, but I don't think that you can use mb* functions on every hosting provider.

The editor you used while editing PhpBB files defaults to UTF-8 but also writes BOM. You should not, I repeat, you should not!!! use BOM on your UTF-8 files.

Don't worry about downloading PHP, the company that rented you the server probably already have PHP on their server, and you couldn't install it anyway. (unless you rented a dedicated hosting with no setup, or a Windows hosting)
