Re: which (2 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Hopefully sombody will answer but in the meantime could you try to use sensible and relevant topic titles. Things like "which" and "ok" decrease the chances of your questions being answered. If somebody doesn't know what you are asking from the topic title they may not bother to read the post.

Re: Adding a header graphic (or graphic header) (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Its background-attachement: fixed which is the problem. It causes the image to be fixed with regard to the viewport not the div. If you scroll your page slightly so that the top of the header is touching the top of the viewport you will see it aligns perfectly.
The short answer is get rid of it.

If you encourage that number to drop by dropping support for IE7 you encourage MS to add support for w3 standards (I don't care if they add their own junk above and beyond... but letting MS split the web again... like NS2 and MS3 used to do... is just childish... and I like being the more stubborn child
).
Most people visitng that site are power users and not at all a representitive sample of typical internet users. If you look at local authority sites where the usage pattern is likely to be more typical you find IE6 = 72%, IE7 = 18%; Gecko = 7%, Others = 3%.
A large number, possibly the majority, of people using the web have never heard of Firefox and simply expect web sites to work in the browser that came with their pc. If the site doesn't work they just assume the designer is an idiot. If you are a geek designing a hobby site purely for other geeks then not supporting widely used browsers is fine, otherwise its not even worth considering as an option.

Re: How would I be able to do this in CSS? (3 replies, posted in Programming)
If you mean you want to the name of the image file to vary then the answer is you can't, css has no support for variables in style declarations whatsoever. The only way to do it is to generate the css dynamically.

Tables don't "belong in the last millennium", they are just not used correctly -- they are meant for tabular data; that will hold true as long as a div is used for division and p is used for a paragraph.
You misquoted, he said "Layout tables belong in the last millenium" which is actually exactly what you said i.e. layout tables bad, data tables good.
In fact, I would dispute there is any such thing as tabular data, there is merely data. The question is always whether a tabular format is the most effective way of presenting that data.

This site provides a good lesson on how to set up a new forum. One category and a limited number of forums and the place looks to be thriving. Add more categories and more forums and it would look a lot less busy and less inviting. Nicely done.

Re: style guide (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
A style is created using a stylesheet. A template is markup. PunBB doesn't really use templates except to a limited extent so all styles/themes are created using css only.
Version 1.3 won't be compatible with the 1.2 and vice versa though updating current styles will be easy enough.
There really isn't much point in a style guide since it would only be a guide to one style. I could create three different styles for PunBB and do each of them in a completely different way. If anything what we need is a markup guide which those who have a reasonable knowledge of css can use. We also need some radically different default styles so people who want to tinker with an existing style rather than creating a new one have a number of different styles to start from.

Re: PunBB Font Sizes (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
As far as I know IE7 handles font resizing the same as IE6, that is, it cannot resize font sizes specified in pixels.
It does have a page zoom feature which tries (and fails) to mimic Opera by simply magnifying everything on the screen including text but thats not the same thing. What confuses the issue is using ctrl + scroll activates page zoom in IE7 whereas it used to activate text resizing. To resize text in IE7 you now have to use the menu.

Re: PunBB 1.3 Preview (49 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
You are wasting your time posting about this. I do not maintain the svn stylesheets in working order while the markup is being worked on so most of the time it will look broken in one browser or another.

Re: Adding a logo (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
You probably just opened the file in code view rather than trying to open it in an external editor which is the sensible way to do it. And since when have you been using Nightmare Stitch.

Re: Adding a logo (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Because Dreamweaver will be setup to open external editors according to file extension and the .tpl extension won't be in the list so it won't know which program is associated with it. It can be configured to open the .tpl files in Notepad or any other text editor though its a bit of a waste of effort.

Yes. Just add #pun-index to the start of the relevant css ruleset to apply different icons to the index page.

height: 0;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: transparent;

.pun #brdtitle h1 span {
display: block;
padding-top: 78px;
background-img: url(whatever);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center right;
}
.pun #brdtitle h1 {
background-img: url(whatever);
