I agree. New visitors might need to scan the forum header for the appropriate link. Hyperlinking the text would eliminate the scan and hence improve usability at the cost of ~120 bytes.

Yes, since they are also hyperlinked here: "Guest posting is disabled. You must login or register to post a reply." Why not be consistent?

In my forum header, there are 11 menu items, so the login and register links are not nearby the text. smile

The CSS for Profile > About > Email is different from the others. On hover, the underline changes to red, but not the email text. Is this intentional?

When 0 users is found, the Ban, Delete, and Change group buttons should not be displayed and maybe remove the column headers too.

Line 335:
require PUN_ROOT.'style/'.$pun_user['style'].'/'.$pun_user['style'].'.php';


In 1.2.16, we created our own style and made it the default style. When running db_updated.php, we got the error on line 335 because it was looking for the style in a directory that did not existed since 1.2.16 was not structured that way for styles. We had to change to Oxygen in the database before we could run db_updated.php

FYI: This is not fixed.

Is the password field prompting for the current password? Why is the password being asked?

When adding a username to ban, it does a check for an existing username. However, when editing a ban, it does not do a check for an existing username for the username.

Feature request maybe: Link the banned username to the profile.

I think this software handles this. It has a plugin for punBB. I have not implemented it to confirm if it will work or not.

Mostly likely you are experiencing robots visiting your site. Read this:

More ideas:

- # of links after the category name; for example, Software (10)
- specify link expiration date
- in addition to resetting the hit count, be able to edit the hit count

Got the the following message in Links.php and the admin plugin: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end"
