Nice mod.  What is the Golden Coins thing on your site?

What's the CSS method of doing this?  I don't want to change any code.  I tried modifying the Oxygen_cs.css with the following but it didn't work:

div.isticky {
  background-image: url('http://www.clreviewboard.org/images/sticky.gif');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
}
div.isticky span {display:none;}

When I post a message with the following text:

"curl up"

I get the following error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /post.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any ideas?

I know it's not what I originally wanted, but it sounds like a good method of handling trolls without pissing them off.  Just let them think they are posting.

Hmm this sucks.

I found a feature on vBulletin that sounds like a good idea.  Any chance we could have it in punbb?

Since you use vBulletin you should check out the "Tachy goes to Coventry" option. It's the most effective banning tool for persistent troublemakers that I've come across. It's basically a global ignore, so the troublemaker can continue to post, but only the troublemaker and board admins can see those posts.

It's worked flawlessly so far on our 22,000+ member forum. We have about a dozen users in "Coventry."

Oh perfect.  That's the behavior I want.  Another question.  I have a user that is using AOL and their IP stats are the following:

207.200.116.6        Today 12:54:03      2      Find more users for this ip
207.200.116.196  Yesterday 17:27:48     5     Find more users for this ip
207.200.116.72     2005-09-09 17:22:21     1     Find more users for this ip
207.200.116.12     2005-08-09 16:31:14     2     Find more users for this ip
207.200.116.138 2005-07-22 16:11:12     1     Find more users for this ip
207.200.116.66     2005-05-06 14:26:28     1     Find more users for this ip
152.163.100.6

It looks like an aol user.  The problem is there are 10-15 other users using the same IP (probably an aol proxy).  Any way to single this user out?

I want to ban a user so they can't read either.  Is there a way to do this?

I have:

mysite.com
mysite.net
mysite.org

All of them point to the same hosting account.  Is there any way to configure it so that punbb will work even though in my config I have mysite.com as the base url?  People from the .net and .org site seem to be able to browse OK, but when they post or edit, punbb gets confused.

Looks really good!  Some suggestions:

Sort by title, date, # of views.

Make it searchable.

Allow people to post photo sets within a category.  For example a category can have multiple topics, and each topic is an album of photos.

Thanks!

If you don't have shell access to use diff and patch, how do you go about installing a mod?  It it very much a manual process where you go through the .dif file provided and manually edit each file?  Or is there some other software you can use?  I have Beyond compare installed and I suppose I can use that.  Just wondering if here is a better way for those of us that don't have shell access.

Man what's the maintenance like on that?  When you upgrade do you have to upgrade all 26 instances of punbb?  I need to do something similar.  I want to have a separate punbb w/ separate database for each City.  Any ideas on how to set that up so that when I upgrade punbb, I don't have to upgrade every single city?

Can we have an option where users can edit their own posts, but within a certain period of time only?  For example you can edit your posts, but only if it's been less than 1 hour.  I just want to prevent people from posting, and then changing their opinion 2 weeks later and going back and wiping out their own post.

I'd like to see PM and Split Topic integrated into punbb so I don't have to keep trying to integrate new releases.

Any way to have a daily digest of topics they subscribe to once a day?

Oh I didn't see that.  Thanks!

Should a regular user be allowed to delete an entire topic that they posted?  For example Joe User posts a new Topic.  50 other people post a reply to the topic.  Should Joe User be able to delete the Topic and wipe out everyone else's reply? 

Is there any way to prevent this?

We should have a contest.  I think that is how Wordpress got so many nice styles.

What's the status on this feature?  Will it be implemented in the next release?

Oh I found a param in pjirc that will allow me to disable the nick command.  I just want people who join the chat to be registered, and not claim to be someone else.  Thanks for writing the mod.  Hope it gets released soon!

authorizedcommandlist : set the list of command the user is athorized to do.
  ---------------------   Syntax is "all-command1-command2-..." or
                          "none+command1+command2+...". By default, authorized
                          command list is "all". Don't prefix the command with
                          the / character.
    Example :
      <param name="authorizedcommandlist" value="none+me">

Connor,

I took a look at your chat mod.  How are you going to restrict people from changing their nick after they login and enter pjirc? 

Does anyone know of a chat program that will be able to use punbb user registration info to get into, and not allow them to change their nick once they are in the chat room?

bradl: 

You can put the Upload button anywhere you want, but when you modify post.php just take out the <form> tags around your Upload button.  You can't have nested forms.

Now I'm trying to get the upload script to upload to a different directory based on the category of the post.  Does anyone know which variable will give me the category of the current post in post.php?

I made the changes for 1.2, and can upload it.  Where though?

I found the split topic mod, and did a little tweaking to get it to work with punbb 1.2.  It's EXACTLY what I want to do.  I hope it gets rolled into the next punbb release!

Hi,

I setup punbb, but I'm finding that sometimes my users post in a thread that should really be a new topic.  I need the ability to move a post to a new Topic.

Alternatively, if I could just login as that user and delete the post, and re-post in a new topic, that would work too. 

Is there such a feature in the works?  Or is there a hack out there for either of the above?
