You should consider extracting the message to the user into the language files in 1.3. smile

Works for me. Could you give more details? Are you sure you are using the correct syntax (as described in the admin area)? And could you please give an example setting?

When you use the search feature and "Show results as: Posts", bigger posts will be just cut off (because of overflow:hidden or something). It would be nice if there was a scrollbar to be able to scroll through the post. For me, this worked:

DIV.searchposts .postmsg {OVERFLOW: auto}

The answer to the first problem is probably this post: http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=47343#p47343

No, having no "alt" text is absolutely fine in this case from both XHTML standard's and semantic Web's side.
I think I've read a page in the past which explained this topic very well, but I don't remember it any more. hmm

Either that or PunBB as it should change the password in the database, whatever in the password field might be. wink

Yes, it works then.

Like I said, Chacmool's database converter set all passwords to an empty string (in the database, not the hashsum of an empty string).

I imported an IPB database to the PunBB database using Chacmool's converter. It set the "password" field in the user table to an empty string. This seems to be causing problems when an administrator wants to change the password of a user with an empty password field, I get a "Wrong old password" error message. When I enter a random string into the password field, changing the password works.
I don't know if and how this affects password retrieving via e-mail.

I think it's quite unusual that a German forum will be running a different charset than ISO-8859-1 but I might be wrong. People that don't probably know how to convert the language files anyway. smile

I'm working on the informal German version right now, so I might release it soon. If you do the formal version, we'd be perfectly complementing each other. smile

P.S. Weiter unten, bei Stuttgart smile

You actually don't need to use umlaut entities if both the charset sent to the browser and the language files have the same encoding, i.e. ISO-8859-1. UTF-8 would solve all charset problems anyway. roll

By the way, I was also planning to release my (unfinished) rewritten German translation, for both formal ("Sie") and informal ("du") German, since the one on PunBB.org has some typos/spelling mistakes and is only in formal German. Maybe I will wait for PunBB 1.3, but it depends on how much I'm willing to finish it. tongue

They were running version 1.2.2 in fact. For some reason, you could access the administration panel by directly typing the URL, even as a guest. roll

Right now, PunBB.de is redirecting to the site of its owners. I wonder what's going to happen now.

I think you should also check if there any "backdoor users", i.e. users that were given administrator or moderator privileges who might cause trouble again later.

Here you go:

The page
The W3C Validator output

I successfully tested it with both Firefox and Opera 8.

For example, xml only recognises 6 character entities which don't include   so these would be replaced with the numeric references (or literal character if you go the UTF-8 route).

Mhh, I justed tested it and   works perfectly with application/xhtml+xml as mime type. Plain XML probably doesn't have all those entities; but XHTML does for sure.

Well, I'm using it myself for my local web server and I did not encounter any problems yet.
Mh, why not make PunBB create an .htaccess itself? Wordpress is doing that afaik.

Hello. Just registered, I've been watching this topic for a while and now I just couldn't resist to post. smile

You actually can rename files to names with a leading dot in Windows, using the DOS command line. The command is ren.

ren foo .htaccess
