I stopped updating it so I took it down. I will probably do a new version when PunBB 1.2 is released.

Version 2.1
Sometime during the summer of 2007 I would imagine.

From what I saw everything e.g. columns gets transposed. Hopefully in 1.2 it will only be the tables that need to be manually edited. With luck everything else will simply be a matter of changing float, margin and text-alignment settings in the stylesheet. I will test it.

Just to update matters.

It turned out that viewtopic was extremely simple to do as a tableless design and it solves some site integration problems i.e. it is easier to control the width in Internet Explorer. Oh! and it doesn't have column headers. The only tables that remain at present are multi-columned data tables. There are no layout tables left.

Forms have been left as tables and I don't think it worth the effort of trying a tableless design. The principle change will be to use the <label> tag to link the labels to the input fields.

On the accessibility point. The one major problem I identified is the main table on the index page. The problem as I understand it is that Jaws is not particularly fond of sub-headings, in this case the category header, even when marked up correctly and positively chokes on colspan. There is of course a quick fix which is to get rid of colspan and position the category header over the forum name.

What I had in mind for an accessible design for the index page was to make each category a seperate table. The category header then becomes the table caption which can be dressed up with css to look like the top row of the table. The column headers then appear under the category header. The result is several small regular tables rather than one big irregular one.

jwalton: I have rather been assuming that the disabled users you have in mind had impaired vision but of course that might not be the case. Are there any tips you can give me generally. Even if it requires a special release to be truly accessible I would still aim at the orginal being as accessible as possible.

I don't know about it being a must have feature but if it were available as a mod I would certainly install it. Since I haven't installed any other mods maybe that tells you something. I have to admit, my main use for it is laziness. If I visit a forum that has it I just hit the link and if nothing of interest has been posted I leave without logging in. That is the way I keep upto date at TFI where I haven't even registered.

If we are talking about usefullness, it has just struck me that I have never used the "Show unanswered posts" link.

Let us know how you get on and how you did it (if you do it). I can't work out how to inject the values that install.php asks for on the install form.

I miss this feature too. It's not the same as "Show posts since last visit" and you don't need to login to use it.

Thanks ximx.

Could you provide some more information about your mod. See here http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=3849 for the preferred method of doing it.
