Well. They are removed when the last update is updated (default 600sec). And if there is so many new topics (only stores cookie if topic contains new posts) you shouldn't be able to read so many topics in that time. And the data that will be transferred is smaller because you only have to check the latest post-cookie. And not many people have like 200 forums ;)

Exactly why is it weird? =P

Yeah.. It doesn't require any serialize or anything :P

I've never experienced it but I think it would confuse me :P

Well, if you don't use any special characters, it's ok with MySQL < 4.1

I've noticed one little problem though. MySQL doesn't support UTF-8 before 4.1. And 4.1 is not finished yet.

Yay! Great!

Hopefully the other countries follows... This whole patent-discussion just piss me off! I can't think of anything good that comes out ot the software patents. The whole idea feels ridiculous.

It's good for the few people with much money. Which is bad.. :P

The post errror is probably because it wants to send some subscription mails.

I have read it.  Is there a point in particular you think I'm missing out on?

BTW - You've just reminded me about an article I read earlier this evening...

Hehe :P

Well, I wasn't trying to rude. My point was that PunBB is made to be simple and fast. And the idea of using GD is, as Rickard said, horrible.

Whey!

That reminds me, I'm 50% german.. :D

What's the point of changing the scrollbar color when it only works in ie?

But, I'll try to help you anyway ;)

Are you sure you put in the current style you were using?

The code seems right though. This is what a generator script gave me:

BODY {
scrollbar-face-color: #cccccc;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #999999;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #999999;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-track-color: #e1e2eb;
}

If I could just get the databases and PunRes files it could be online tonight. If everything goes smooth...

There are both positive and negative things with that solution. Good things is that the code is beiong more clean, and probably more easy to install mod into. On the other hand, it would much harder to start writing your own mods because you have to know the code first. When I started to make mods to PunBB, I used the HTML to navigate through the code.

Although, with experienced modders, I don't think it matters.

PunRes 2.1 will have a Converter category ;)

And, not much left now. Just have to get the latest databases and update them. Then it's pretty much finished. But that lazy bamsefar don't fix the server so I can get them..

I like the idea of UTF-8. Actually, I've just converted PunBB Resource and Cactuz Network to it.

As I've understand, more and more people are starting to use UTF-8 too.


The only "problem" as I can see, is if you already have a lot of posts in your database in another chaset. But I think that it wouldn't be so hard to fix either.

I think the current solution is much better. And it's a 100% perfect solution :)

That kind of "hack" doesn't fit into PunBB, but that's my opinion. Maybe as a mod if someone desperately needs it.

You probably made some mistake while you pasted the code. Try again and see if the problem persist
