Re: new post bug (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
PunBB does not have read/unread functionality. All the indicators show is whether the topic has new posts since your last visit. Reading the topic makes no difference.

Re: maximum size of pics in a post (4 replies, posted in Feature requests)
Thats already how PunBB works. The only time pictures are not resized is if you are viewing using IE and javascript is disabled. In that case images are cropped. The forum never expands to fit the picture.

Re: Text Setting Map? (14 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
You don't need to alter any of the font sizes set in em's since they are all relative to the base font size. You only need to alter the base font size which is 11px for modern browsers and 68.75% for IE. Just change that to 12px for modern browsers and 75% for IE. Everything else will just scale up to match because they are all set in em's.
If you want to know why the font size is in pixels for everything other than IE, its because Firefox/Mozilla is rubbish as calculating dimensions properly if you feed it anything other than pixels.

Re: Punbb Portal Problem!! (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
You still don't have the left and right columns before the container. I'm talking about the markup not the css.

Re: Punbb Portal Problem!! (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
1. The floated columns need to come before the container in the markup unless you go for a negative margin solution. The correct order is
- left
- right
- container
Get rid of the margins on the container.
2. <marquee> is not valid xhtml. In fact I'm not sure its valid anything anymore (if it ever was).
3. Your fieldsets must have legends.
Oh! and if you must use percentages, remember IE can't count. It thinks that 20% + 20% + 60% = 101% (or maybe even 102%) so you have to give it some breathing room.

Re: Metas (21 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I understood that Google doesn't use meta keywords which means they are a complete waste of time.
The meta description I think has a use in that it can be used to provide a description on the search results page instead of a piece of text from the page which matches the search. Apart from that it doesn't have any real impact.

Re: v1.2.13; Hebrew; Reveresed options (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Thats what I though. I think the rtl display is switching the inputs over but not switching the labels so you get wrong labels with the inputs.
There are no language files for admin so you have to edit all the files manually starting with admin_options.php. You will be pleased to know PunBB 1.3 will have langauge file support for admin so it should be possible to do a full rtl Hebrew version.
Personally I think as you are using admin in English you would be better off using it ltr which might make your problem go away.

Re: v1.2.13; Hebrew; Reveresed options (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Opera has a weird bug when displaying rtl. I haven't been able to work out what the problem is yet.
As for what to edit, PunBB doesn't have language file support for admin so I assume you are using the admin console in English. Is that correct or do you have a special version converted to Hebrew.

Unless an rtl display has made the inputs switch places but not their labels.

Very nice. I like the built in SVN support. I don't need the debugging features (thats what we have Smartys for) but as an editor I really like it.

Re: Next wave of spam: Be prepared! (10 replies, posted in General discussion)
I know I keep jabbering on about this but I really think a powerful set of spring cleaning tools is just as important as all the clever ideas for keeping spam out in the first place. If a mod or admin can dispose of spam posts, non posting users etc in a matter of seconds rather than minutes it makes spam far less of a nuisance. It also means that the mods and admins have no excuse for not removing rubbish every visit to the board rather than leaving it to when they have time to spare. It might even put spammers off if they see their hard work being deleted almost as soon as it appears.
It also has to be said that while there are many reasons why effective anti spam measures are hard to implement there really isn't much of an excuse for not providing tools for getting rid of it.

Re: Icons specific to forum name (12 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
Far better would be to give the <tr> an id which would be the forum id prefixed with a letter because id's can't start with a number. That way you can set the image as a background image anywhere you like or style the row in other ways to reflect different forums.

Do nothing. The report appears to be incorrect and is being disputed. If this were a real vulnerability you can be sure it would have been fixed straight away.

All questions regarding forums hosted by PunBB-Hosting should be on their forum not here because Smarty's is the only one who can actually make changes to hosted forums.

Re: Problem with transparency of custom png smileys in IE ... (12 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
From what I've read, the one that supports full transparency and is therefore the straight gif replacement is png-8 (binary transparency). png-24 is the one that supports alpha transparency/opacity. Not being a photoshop user I don't know if that helps you. I would guess you can choose to export as png-8.
EDIT: I think the setting might be "Save for Web 8-bit PNGs" or something similar.

Re: Problem with transparency of custom png smileys in IE ... (12 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
IE6 does support full tranparency for png's, it just doesnt support opacity/alpha transparency. I assume the default smilies are using plain and simple fully transparent backgrounds.

If you hit view source you see this

You would therefore style the news heading with .newsbox h3 {}.

Re: Great forum, are you aware of the recent security alert? (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
"Genuine" vulnerabilities are fixed almost immediatelly. I've edited your post for obvious reasons and moved it as this is not a bug report. We do know about that security alert. It appears to be complete nonesense but is being checked out anyway. You can patch PunBB yourself.
