Any chance you can get it to force members to read the entire thread before posting the same comments? wink

so was that mad rush for everyone to get a reg key just a "marketing" ploy? it worked if it was.

If you took part in the mad rush, you got license keys for the mobile version too... which AFAIK is still a pay-for product.

You may want to take a look at the patch directory.  It describes the move from 1.2.4 to 1.2.7.

So that means you can open and read the file but teh .htaccess functions do not work.
This sounds like some trouble with the web server configuration.
Since I can't know about that maybe you ask your host if there's anything he can do.
Sorry for not having better news....

Yeah... I figured as much.  Thanks for the help.

OK,
then just make an empty file in the pun installtion directory.

Write there 

<?
$auth = file("./admin_pass.pwd");
list($user, $password) = split(":", trim($auth[0]));
echo "User is $user and password is $password";
?>

make sure the path to admin_pass.pwd is correct
and see if it displays anything.

Thanks for sticking with me on this.  When I make the suggested test file, it loads fine and shows the contents of my admin_pass.pwd file just fine.

Of course it does.
This is only meant to find out if the path is correct. The page should load and it should print somewhere the username and Password.

Perhaps I wasn't specific enough.  When I make the suggested changes, it doesn't ask me for a username and password; it just loads the page and does not display any additional info.  In fact, it doesn't even look like it is entering the "else" part of the if/else statement.  If I place echo "JUNK"; before the "} else", I see JUNK displayed on the page.  I assume this is a server setting issue.

OK, to see if your path is correct you can just leave out the authentication part and only call the file:

...
This will show you if the file is found and parsed correctly.
If yes then it must have to do with your server settings.

sad When I do this, the page loads without even requesting a username/password.  BTW, thanks for your help on this.

I have a copy of admin_pass.pwd in my forum root directory and in the include directory (where common_admin.php) is found.  The file contains just this line:

Tester:0cbc6611f5540bd0809a388dc95a615b

Both copies of admin_pass.pwd are set to: -rw-r--r--, and I can view it fine if I type its URL into my browser.

I enter Tester for the user name and Test for the password and get the same behavior I described above.  I know I should move the file to some other location, but I want to get it to work before I start messing with that.

I found a very simple way to add Basic authentication to your admin scripts without moving anything.

This is a great solution, but I can't get it to work.  After making the modifications, the browser keeps prompting me for username/passwd.  Does anyone have ideas on what could be going wrong?

I'm not sure why you started a new thread for this, but did you try the suggestion I made in your previous thread about this?

I haven't tried it, but it looks like you should add something like:

background-image: url(name_of_icon.png);

to the .isticky .inew .iredirect .iclosed and .icon items as desired.

It shouldn't be a problem provided (s)he has the correct graphics card.

This DVI connection also removes all barriers to using an Apple display with a PC. If your graphics card supports DVI with DDC technology for widescreen viewing, you should be able to use these two displays with a PC.

I pulled this from the description on Amazon's listing for the 23 incher but it looks like the other Cinema displays use the same connection.

I'm not sure what this means... search?

I never have a problem because I always use the quick reply box which is the realy lazy way to do it.

That doesn't work if you are creating a new thread or quoting someone (unless you manually quote them).

I agree that this is a nit-picky request, but IMO it would make PunBB even better (albeit marginally) than it already is.

Somebody has done and explained this somewhere here AFAIK

I saw this thread and posted a request for details three weeks ago, but AFAIK, the complete solution has not been posted.

I'd be grateful if someone could fill in the missing details or point me to another more complete discussion.

However, even if a mod exists, I would still think this request has merit.  Here are a couple of reasons I think it should be in the base distribution:

1) Doesn't require moding so upgrades of PunBB are easier
2) Makes it easier to more PunBB installations to be more secure... which makes PunBB more appealing

BTW, this is all predicated on the assumption that .htaccess password protection would improve security.  If someone knowledgable were to tell me that it doesn't help, I'll be happy to shut up.

If I'm in the message composition box and I hit tab it takes me to the Option "Never show smilies as icons in the first post" check box.  Hit tab again to get to the other option check box.  Hit tab again and I get to the "Submit" button.

I would like to request that hitting tab the first time from the message composition box takes you directly to the "Submit" button.  This would allow users to post with less effort... yes I'm lazy.

I.e., "type my message, hit tab, hit enter" instead of "type my message, hit tab three times, hit enter."

Thanks for considering it.
