PunBB 1.3.4 There are no hotfixes to apply.

I installed a fresh forum in another location to see if it also suffers from this issue. I will find out I guess next weekend. That way I have the current forum with all posts etc and another forum that has just been installed and has no posts etc (a virgin).

I don't know what your not doing but as a test I opened main.tpl and removed the line

<!-- forum_title --> from

<div id="brd-head" class="gen-content">
    <!-- forum_skip -->
    <!-- forum_title -->
    <!-- forum_desc -->
</div>

So it looked like

<div id="brd-head" class="gen-content">
    <!-- forum_skip -->
   
    <!-- forum_desc -->
</div>

Clicked save and hit refresh on the browser and the title disappeared.

The way I did it was to:

A: Make a copy of the data base but saved under another data base name eg: Original database name is forum make copied database name forum 2

B: Install 1.3 to a directory called forum2 and do not attempt to do the install script

C: Copy the config.php from the 1.2 forum and put it in the 1.3 forum directory. The config will have to be edited to reflect the data base location

$db_type = 'mysqli';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'change this to the copied database name (forum2)';
$db_username = 'change this (probably wont have to)';
$db_password = 'change this (probably won't have to)';
$db_prefix = '';
$p_connect = false;

$base_url = 'change this to http://etc etc/forum2';

The forum2 database config will have to modyfied as well the base url in config.

D: Then go to http://your forum2 location (where you installed it to) eg http://yoursite/forum2/ and it in theory will tell you your database needs upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3 follow the prompts.

If that goes well for you do what ya gotta do and once your done doing what you need doing you mass message everyone the forums are going to be down for abit.

I would download a backup of the 1.2 database plus the 1.2 forum folder to your computer for safe keeping. Its a matter of then copying avatars etc from the 1.2 directories and putting them in the right spots in the 1.3 forum2 folder, once your sure you have copyed all you need, then delete the 1.2 folder, rename the 1.3 folder to what the 1.2 was. Then delete the config.php from the newly named 1.3 folder plus whatever is in cache folder. Then upload the saved config from the 1.2.

It should if done correctly when you try to go to the forum url tell you that the forum needs to be updated to 1.3 which you let it do.

It will need some more tweaking for example the extensions will have to be reinstalled. They will exist in the 1.3 forums folder but the database won't have them listed as installed unless you copy the database info from the 1.3 you were messing with when I mentioned to make a copy of the 1.2 and convert it etc. I would personally just reinstall them, they won't need to be redownloaded just reinstalled.

If you used a private message system in 1.2 it is not compatable with the private message system in 1.3. I am currently working on an upgrade script. I have had to manually convert from a 1.2 to a the 1.3 private message system.

Um doesn't it already tell you in the Admin Settings for Manage Extensions ??

I want to know, visually 1.3 Flux and 1.3 Pun look the same. I am wondering what coding differences there are between the 2. Is pun just the code being downloaded from Flux SVN and being rebranded as Pun. If that is the case at what SVN version did you get to to not have the latest Flux SVN missing style code affect the layout of Pun.

I noticed on your forum, that some are not suffering from the problem. I would ask them what their setup is, try and nut it out from there I guess.

I just signed up to one of your blue white test forums you put in show off. If this isn't the forum your talking about it, then provide a link. I was able to though, sign up and post test as a reply to one of your threads. It was all done without needing admin approval, email verification and no captcha deterant.

If this is how all your forums are set up its like having the keys in your car, motor running and door left wide open while parked in a crime hotspot all the while hoping the car doesn't get stolen while your away.

The initial question is itself thin on details. It reads to me as

"Someone registered on my forum, they can't post but they can register, they have the words viagra in their registration details, how could they register"

It would help if you explained how your board is setup. The plain vanilla install doesn't help either. To register on your site do they have to go through a captcha of some sort, do they have to be admion approved.................:rolleyes:

Is this based on the time line of flux or you guys (pun) doing your own clean up rewrite of the markup.

I probably should have mentioned that. I tested it on a non live forum, then later thought, hmmm probably not a good idea on one that is in use as it will drop the tables with the data in it as well.
