Hi all,

I was just wondering wether it is possible to somehow have perhaps two base URL's instead of just one, since for example my forum is accessible through two URL's (forum.mydomain.com and mydomain.com/forum). Is there a way to solve this, since both URL's are being used quite frequently.

Kind regards,

Nick

Thanx mate. I considered that option, but I thought it would delete the entire thread, not just the refer pointing to it. Anyway, it worked like a charm. smile

Hi all,

I've got a stupid little question, which isn't really important, but I was wondering anyway. I've just moved a post to another category, but I've accidently enabled the link which says "moved: <topic name>" in the old category. I know how I can prevent that from happening in the future, but is there a way of getting rid of that link now it's already there? hmm

Kind regards,

Nick

Hi all,

I have a weird problem with my installation of PunBB. It seems that my forum users sometimes have problem logging in to the website. When they enter their login details en press login, the forum redirect page comes up and says they have succesfully logged in and are being redirected. But when the forum index page shows up, they are still not logged in.

I've experienced this problem myself at school today using a Windows 2000 machine, and had the same issue when I tried to log in from my parents' computer, which is running Windows XP Pro SP2. When I try to log in on my own computer using again Windows XP Pro SP2 it works without any problem, so the issue is probably caused by some browser setting or something.

I've had several reports of this error to this moment and have no clue how I can fix it or what causes it. Does anyone of you ever heard of this, is it a known issue or am I just missing something? I've searched this forum, but wasn't able to find a solution.

Kind regards,
Nick

Edit: Ok, I think I know what causes the error. When I use my forward domain name (www.forzaferrari.net) I can not succesfully log in, but when I try to login from the real URL (which is http://snl42083.web09.talkactive.net/) it does work fine. I guess it's got something to do with opening the site in a frame? hmm

if your php supports SHA1 then punbb will automatically convert them to SHA1 as your users log in, which is what i think is happening

I've never heard of SHA1, but I get your point. I've changed my news-post-system to use SHA1 password encryption and it works.

Thanx a lot, this thing has kept me busy for a while now. tongue

Hi all!

I have a very weird problem which I hope some of you can help me solve. Here's the thing:

I've set up my own php-based news-website to use the "forum_users" table of PunBB when authenticating users before they can react to news-items on the news-website. This way, I combine both things and have some kind of community feeling to the whole thing.

Anyway, I noticed some strange behavior of the MySQL database when handling the passwords in MD5 encryption. It seems that after a short while they change from one MD5 hash value to another, causing my website visitors to be unable to log in while they are still able to access the forum itself.

I manually changed my own password for example just half an hour ago to a value of ceab413736883106ac8ded51f23b8f1d. To my own suprise the very same value had changed to e54ac0ff85c8f425e2df286f0ab123c331ef63f0 when I checked back a few minutes later. The forum seems to be able to handle the change since I'm still able to log in on the forum, but I cannot post comments on news-items anymore while both use the same "forum_users" table.

Does anyone have a logical explanation why the MD5 values are changed once in a while? Is it due to some security issue in PunBB of perhaps a bug in PHPMyAdmin or whatever? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

With kind regards,
Nick

Hi all,

Is it possible to have a html border drawn around an avatar on the forum by default? I looked up this question in the search, but wasn't able to find any answer. I think it looks neat, but don't know wether it can be done without the need to change a lot in the source. Perhaps through the stylesheet?

Thanks in advance. smile

Thanx guys, I've managed to change all the things I wanted, but now I've run into some other issue. I want to change the name of the forum categories on the index page from black to white. The problem is that they are declared in ".pun {COLOR: #000000}". But when I change that value to white, obviously just about all the text changes to white.

See my forum @ http://snl42083.web09.talkactive.net/forum/index.php

Does anyone of you know how I can seperate these two color values? smile

Hi all,

I'v been restyling my copy of PunBB to fit into the current style of my website, but there's some small issues that I can't seem to solve on my own.

First of all, how do I change the color of the usernames that are being displayed on the left of a post? It is currently white but i'd rather see it black. I know I've somehow managed to change it, but dunno how I did that, so any help would be very much appreciated. smile

Second, there are some other white links that I'd like to change the colors of (the "Post new topic" for example, along with the navigation links in de admin-panel). Perhaps they're related to the username in terms of color assignment, I'm not quite sure. Anyway, if anyone could help me out it would be nice.

One last thing, does anyone of you know how I can specify the height of the navigation bar? It has to be 16 pix, just like all the other headers which I've managed to edit, but I can't get the navigation bar to behave the same.

Many thanx in advance. big_smile
