Yes that us what I have done. Since the server is in PST that is what I set in the Admin options. I then changed my own profile to CST. Just a little different from past CMSes or forums I've used.

You can't have that in 1.2. The server time zone in 1.2 should be set such that the time given to guests is GMT.
In 1.3, we remove the need to set the time to GMT and replace it with the ability to set the default timezone, which is what you're looking for.
Yes, I was wondering about this too. So basically no matter what you set the "Server Timezone" to, guests will always see the post times as reflected by the actual server correct? Because when I am not logged in, the posts are 2 hours behind because the server is PST while I am CST.

Don't know...it was a work 'pooter and they've blocked access to the settings. Big brother ya know. More like Mordac, Preventer of IS. But It works like a charm at home under FF 1.5+, Opera 9.01, and IE6. Definately just the work box and its wacky config. Sorry to bother now that I reflect!
Oh, and I first noticed the problem go away when I resized the text. That's when I hit the refresh, so yeah, it may not be cache but some other oddity.

Not 100% sure. When I initiated this thread I was thinking I had seen it on other computers but now I wonder. I won't be able to check it out until later so for the moment I'm going to assume it is the way IE is set up on this machine that's causing the problem.
UPDATE: Now I believe it to be a caching issue. If I go to any of the boards and see this problem, I can click on page refresh and it goes away. Just as simple as that. Weird...

Re: Nasty text issue with PunBB (15 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Don't think so. I truly believe it is an issue with the browser on the machine I'm using at the moment. All I would be doing is linking to the same pages you would normally see. Most folks who know a little about (X)HTML and CSS are aware that CSS and IE are not friendly bed fellows. Valid code is great but sadly it doesn't always render well in IE...

Yes, this forum but I've seen the same thing over at XennoBB.com *cough*. So I know its a PunBB thing.

Have you made any changes that would cause IE to not parse the page in strict mode?
Actually, this is on a browser I cannot control or make changes to. But I was just curious that if I saw it on this browser that others would too. Since Paul states that I'm only the third of thousands to complain of the issue, I think we can assume that a very small percentage of my target audience will see this. So I'll consider it a non-issue unless I get complaints.

The well-loved and highly thought of IE6. Sometimes I'm forced to use it but I also know that millions of others use it (in ignorance

Topic: Nasty text issue with PunBB (15 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Hi all,
I'm getting ready to try converting a site I have now using PHP-Fusion to Nucleus and I was going to install PunBB as the forum for the site since there is a Nucleus plugin. I know I'm going to mod the punbb for just a few things - not many - but there is one gigantic showstopper for me with PunBB.
What's the deal with what appears to be two threads sitting on top of each other in either search results or the overview of threads for a board? It ends up looking like a bunch of unreadable garbage and that seems to be a humongous bug.
Any known "cure"? I would attach an image but I can't at the moment. However, I'm certain many of you know what I'm talking about.

Re: PunBB vs PHP-Fusion's default forum (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Well, there ARE a few things I dislike but after playing around with PunBB, I don't see enough of an improvement to warrant attempts to integrate for the sake of having a better forum software. Both are very basic but I will admit that I like the overall look of PunBB over the PF forum. I do NOT like the "search" results layout for the PF forum, but I'm going to look at the way it is coded to see what I can do to alter that.
I suppose that when it comes down to it, having a forum (albeit very basic but nowhere near the ugliness of SimpleBoard..blech) already integrated with the CMS is a BIG advantage, perhaps enough to outweigh a few features.
As far as integration is concerned (I need to stop before this thread gets tossed over into the Integration forum), I think PunBB's strength will lie in CMS/Blog packages that either do not have a forum or have very crappy ones. However, I think I might just play around with integration anyway because I like challenges . And when I say integration, I don't mean just joining user reg, etc. but such that it looks like it belongs with the rest of the package. Otherwise it IS just a bridge...
Thanks!

Re: PunBB vs PHP-Fusion's default forum (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Hmmm...either (a) nobody is familiar with the default forum of PHP-Fusion, (b) ppl here find this post offensive and don't deem it worth responding to, or (c) there really are few if any advantages of trying to integrate PunBB into this CMS. I'm leaning towards (a)...
Is there a Website out there that anyone knows of which compares features of some of the existing forum scripts out there? I know PF's will not be on it if so but I can at least get a good idea of what is offered by each. All I know is PunBB is supposed to offer speed and simplicity...
Thx!

Topic: PunBB vs PHP-Fusion's default forum (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
**Note: edited subject line to reflect content more accurately**
OK, over the last several months, I've played around with two different CMS packages: Xoops and PHP-Fusion. Both are great but Xoops tends to be a little slower and more resource hungry. Plus, PHP-Fusion has a simplicity that is much akin to PunBB. In addition, like PunBB, it seems to be very fast.
However, I'm not too keen on the default forum for PHP-Fusion. I actually liked the one that integrates with Xoops, but I've decided to go with PHP-Fusion because writing custom mods is much simpler in Fusion than Xoops. Heck, writing themes is too!
As much as I don't care for the forum that comes with Fusion, I'm wondering what advantage PunBB has over it. Not to mention that integrating the to would be more work. I also like SMF, but I believe that integration would be even trickier for it than PunBB. So, what would I gain by successfully integrating PunBB with Fusion; that is, what advantages does PunBB have over the default forum for Fusion?
This is not a challenge to convince but rather a chance to help me understand some of the features of PunBB and why it would make a fast, clean forum for my future community site.
Thanks!
