In my opinion a template engine (ie a clean separation of code and markup) would make updates a lot easier and allow for better layout customization.
I went through some frustrations scrolling through endless lines of php/html mix to find that line where I want to change the color of some text..
On the other hand this would mean more or less a complete rewrite of PunBB, who would want to do that?
Plus, smarty has a certain learning curve when you don't want to stick with the basics. It's a bit like a programming language of its own. They overdid it there a bit I think. I mean, what's the use of a template when it's full of programming code?

Sorry, I don't have all the time to read 1000+ lines of code to see where something's wrong.
Please change the line I posted above and let me know the error message you will get
If this fails then it's better to send just the affected lines, which are the ones in the readme.txt

Not necessary I think.
It's just what the message says:
You can not expect to find stats 2 minutes after installation

You have to add the version to line 12 in install_mod.php

Well. there's spamassassin.
I am pretty sure that it can be modified to filter message posts as well, or with a separate installation.
It has all one would need, blacklists, whitelist, bayesian filter.
It's just since I got addicted to PHP my Perl has started to rust...
Maybe some Perl god out there (I know there are still some...) wants to have a look....

Looks like there's a bracket missing here

('Unable to insert into user statistics', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

            else
            {

it should be

('Unable to insert into user statistics', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
  }
            else
            {

Can you give me just the lines that you changed?
It is a very cumbersome task to compare two files as large as these.....

Both drupal and Joomla are quite popular.
If you want to use them for a company website you should consider the following problems (which also go for most of the rest):
1. Can you use your design?
The answer is a simple no. All CMS systems (have to) follow a certain scheme, so with a little practice you can tell which website has been done with what CMS. This may be a OK for new projects or private sites where you can design after the CMS guidelines. But companies normally give you a layout to work with.

2. Has it all features the company wants?
Both drupal and joomla come with a lot of plugins/extensions that let you do almost anything you like. However, this often has performance impact so one has to be careful not to use too many.
On the other side, most CMS systems come with a wealth of features that you will never use, making the whole thing  a bit more cumbersome to handle.

3. Can it be updated?
For both of them the answer is "in theory, yes".
However, if you really do a lot of customization because your company needs it, especially in the script sources, you will have a big problem.

4. Are they secure?
Not more or less than all other OS applications. You must be ready for regular updates (see above...) then everything will be OK.

Conclusion: I don't know if I would ever use one of them (or any other) for a company job.
The alternative is, as mentioned, write your own.

As for the above comments on "rolling your own": It may be more work to write it but you will get this time back: First of all, you understand (hopefully) your own code a lot better, making it easier to change/update the scripts. Second, you will have exactly the features you need, so it will be faster to work with and easier to extend.
And for the security: Agreed, a custom made script will probably have more leaks than a big public one where thousands look at the code.
But this is also their weakness: A script that nobody knows the source of may have holes but nobody knows about them. This leaves potential hackers to guess, a time consuming process that many are too lazy for.
Whereas bugs in OS apps appear on the internet, and then you have to update fast or you will fall victim for some bored teenies. Because you're just a google search away. 
So, in theory OS CMS systems are more secure, in practice I found that handmade ones are. Provided that you know what you're doing and don't leave your front door too wide open....

I don't really know.
Doesn't happen on my installations.
Maybe another mod of yours or an installation error.... really difficult to say.....sorry.

Sorry for the delay, been on holidays...
Anyway, the problem is that the uploaded image is just a part of the message.
So if there is nothing else than the image it is still considered to be a message...
just imagine somebody has text and an image to upload.
Do you want the message to vanish just because the image upload failed?
However, it is possible to check if a post is an image-only one and if so, not enter it when the upload fails.
As soon as I am happily back at my own computer I'll have a look

I don't allow guest posts (guests suck. Whoever is too coward to even register with a disposable email address has not deserved posting Dot )
Plus I'm using the captcha mod along with email verification which prevents robot  registrations.
