I think the problem is that Opera designers have tried to be too clever. Their idea is that people can take a ltr stylesheet and quickly make it look the opposite. Thats a problem because nobody else does it that way.

I hadn't forgotten about this I just wasn't getting very far. I got things to work in Opera but break in IE. Is that solved now or is there still a problem?

What I found is that if you specify rtl then Opera automatically reverses some elements e.g. if you say margin-right Opera treats it as margin-left. In other words, it ignores what you say in the stylesheet and just assumes you want to reverse things.

The font tag is not valid xhtml 1.0 strict and is generally deprecated. You need to style the element via the stylesheet.

It upsets me more when someone has a bad experience of PunBB. If anybody can help please do so and not use the lack of a copyright as a reason not to.

Moved to modifications.

I meant I have to keep uninstalling to go back to IE6. I need to be able to test in both constantly.

Does Vista RC1 include IE7 RC1 or IE7 Beta 3? I'm getting fed up of installing and uninstalling IE7 constantly.

They are interested in a particular kind of aniimal called the lesser spotted spam bot. Its a species of rat.

Its still a bug though so I will keep trying various config settings to see if I can reproduce it.

H1, H2 and H3 are out. The post is an h2 and the topic title within a post an h3. Any headers within post bodies would therefore have to start at h4 otherwise you make a mess of the heading structure.

Correct. Most of the bits of the page that are really needed just aren't there. It looks to me as if header.php simply isn't getting included.

What is the cache setting for IE on the machine you are using? Thats not necessarily a cache error because it goes away on refresh, it could also be a timing bug. Does it go away if you resize the page by dragging?

What is odd is that even though we all know IE is not perfect, tables are actually pretty difficult to break.

I've seen a screen shot of that before but as I say, I've never seen it happen myself. If I can't recreate it then there isn't much I can do to fix it. I'm assuming thats a screen shot of this forum? There are a number of tweaks that could be made to the stylesheet but I have no way of testing whether they worked or not.

Well I've never seen it or been able to recreate it and I only know of two people who have reported it. Which browser are you using.

Rickard and I experimented with the getimagesize() function a long time ago to improve image handling in posts. It brought the forum to its knees. The problem is if the images are on a slow remote server or even worse are missing then everything stalls until the image information can be obtained. The conclusion was that getimagesize() is only usable when the images are hosted locally.

You are crazy because stuff might be committed which is half finished which could leave the forum non functional.

No file. Just right click and view source, you will see the id's were inserted when the menu was generated.

If you view source you will find the links you added have an id e.g. #navextra1, #navextra2. That means you can style them the same as any other nav links.

It probably is Simplepie. I tried an experiment implementing the hatom microformat in punbb and the hatom parser I used atuomatically reversed the order of the feed. I presume because the setup was really for blogs where the newest comments are at the bottom.

Both feeds seem to be showing the latest post according to your forum (entitiled "Art is hope" at the time of viewing) and showing posts newest first. Also 15 posts are being shown, not 10.

I will install the Arabic language pack and your RTL stylesheets so I can play with it. I will get back to you.

Nope. Just keep checking svn if you want to know the current state of things.

Correct, its not a bug. Moving.

You are missing the point. The new markup and css coupled with custom templates makes the whole thing very flexible. All the changes you want you could do through the stylesheet in about 10 minutes. The idea is since its impossible to please everybody then make it flexible enough for everybody to please themselves.
