Most of the menus (perhaps all) are created from arrays. Hooks have been placed to allow the arrays to be manipulated. At least thats what I've been told by the members of the dev team with a high braincell count.

I've never quite understood why there isn't an option to choose the number of users per page just like posts and topics except maybe that nobody gives a stuff about the userlist page.

It should be a plain simple text file. Notepad or any text editor should do the trick.

Each style should have its own folder the name of which is the name of the style. If it uses its own templatates then you just put the templates in the same folder. The way PunBB 1.3 works is to first look in the style folder for template files and if it doesn't find them use the default templates. The templates for the individual style should have the same names as the default templates e.g main.tpl.

And the reason for changing the markup for title and description is to allow for a different styles. Personally I would prefer the menu above the description and to the right of the title. Thats more difficult to do if the title and description are in the same container.

Looking very tidy but I'm not convinced that the black background is tweaked right. I think either get rid of it or make it slightly wider.

Oh and I can't get it to work in IE7. The site just goes into a continious loop of trying to load and failing.

I wouldn't waste time looking for solutions. This is only a first beta and it might change by the time it finally gets released.

In the meantime just edit main.tpl to add an extra div around the title and description. Either that or give pun-title some bottom padding and move the description into it using a negative top margin.

The default style set in admin -> Options is the style guests and new users will see. Once registered users can change their style in their profiles. There is no facility for choosing one default style for guests and a different default style for new registered users so that would have to be a modification.

Not as part of the forum software though your web host might have provided the facility. This is the support forum for the PunBB software, we can't really help much with a particular hosting services implementation of it.  The only exception is Free PunBB Hosting which is run by one of the developers here and they have there own support forum.

Well we don't provide web hosting free or otherwise so without knowing anything about your hosts setup there isn't much we can do.

Why everbody is confused is that in order to install punbb in the first place you needed to upload the forum files to your web sever (host) using an ftp client or the hosts control panel. This created a directory on the server for the forum files. You just upload the stylesheets in exaxtly the same way.

Moved as it appears to be mod related.

Corrected topic title.

No way of telling without actually trying it but in theory I would have thought built in features ought to be faster because the code was originally written to accommodate those features.

And Beta doesn't just mean its subject to bug fixes. As far as I'm concerned it also means identifying things that could have been done better and improving them. That could involve quite substantial rewrites in some cases.

Anyway, using the title doesn't do the job. Not all browsers show tooltips on spans and anybody navigating with a keyboard will never see it.

The question doesn't really make sense since SMF, VB and phpBB have different feature sets. If I wanted a forum with an identical feature set as VB then I would buy a VB license. I can't see any point in modding one forum to be a clone of another.

The idea of starting with a forum without all the bells and whistles is to add only the extra features that you want and end up with something that exactly fits your requirements. If you actaully want all the bells and whistles it makes far more sense to select a script that already has them.

Silent edit (don't display "Edited by ..." in topic view for this edit)

As Smartys indicated, several simple queries could be faster than one complex query. Certainly queries should be as efficient as possible but simply looking at the number of queries won't tell you much.

In fact there is more to it than page generation time, I think it really comes down to "perceived" page generation time. Looking at AEF's topic page it seems slower than it actually is because of the table based layout and a lot of graphics.

Moved.

Thats the way they have always been and its deliberate.

Sorted that a while ago, just haven't  committed it.

I actually intended for people to do this by editing the Oxygen.php file directly. The idea was that style authors can organise their stylesheets how they like e.g. just one stylesheet for those who find that easier or lots of small stylesheets for those who like a modular approach. It also eliminates importing stylesheets one into another which can sometimes cause problems. I think of the style.php files as being part of the style and not part of the core files.

If you just add your stylesheet to the list in Oxygen.php before the IE specific stylesheets then that should do it. If you encounter any difficulties then it will most likely be because the declarations in your new stylesheet are not specific enough to overrule the declarations in the existing stylesheets. As long as your declarations have at least an equal specificity to the existing declarations then your styesheet should take precdence because it comes later in the list. As Smartys said, just put the stylesheet in the Oxygen folder.

The one thing you can't do is add a stylesheet which will be utilised by all possible styles. You will have to add it to each individual style.

I'm not fixing things one at a time, things will get fixed or changed in one batch when the next major update is done.

I told you what you need to do. Its your page so you must know where those meta tags are generated.

When viewing the source of the page I see this

META should be meta, CONTENT should be content. Also the tags still are not closed. Where you need to make the changes I have no idea.
