Sounds about right. I inserted a field there because we decided to add the ability to set the position when creating a categorty. The back end boys must have forgot to actually attach some code to it.

Re: First round, small things (7 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 troubleshooting)
I agree with you (sort of) as far as the feed icons are concerned. On my test rig I had already changed it. The word "Feed" has gone, the font-size has gone down to 0.8em and the links are closed up. That however is about as neat as it gets. Using icons actually took more space because the icons had to be the type which specifed the kind of feed. There is also something to be said for text links wherever possible. I will probably commit that with the next round of updates.
The footer debug information is enabled by uncommenting line 27 in essentials.php. Its probably just been left on for the beta or by accident. Its actually always been there though it was in common.php.
As for the board title being a link, I have no feelings about it either way.
Profile/avatar. Its not worth writing different markup and css for the required indicator for one field. Personally I would be quite happy to remove the required indicator from that field alltogether.

Re: What do "per-style templates" mean in PunBB 1.3? (15 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Youl could also have a default style with your own markup added to the templates, ads for example, which registered users can dispose of by choosing a different style.

Re: PunBB 1.3 CSS (18 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I really wouldn't start work. There is going to be a tidy up tonight when hopefully the last of the new markup gets committed and then the legacy stylesheets get zapped. The stylesheets need reworking. Its now obvious a few classes are redundant and some can be combined and as you can see the colour scheme and ie stylesheets are not exactly pretty. However, what I would say is most of whats left is form related.
Here is my todo list
- tidy up new stylesheets
- minor css and markup tweaks that will presnet themselves during tidyup and xml parser testing
For those that think the above still looks like a lot of work, its actually easily less than a day. I'm saying nothing about the backend though, I know my place.
Once the beta is released it should be relatively safe to start working on it. Any changes after that will hopefully be minor. They should consist of bug fixes and accessibility tweaks.
I would encourage people to start messing with the css as soon as the beta is released. You may end up with a little of your time wasted becasue of minor changes but the more people who are trying it out the more likely it is deficiencies will come to light sooner rather than later.

Re: Isnt its time for Punbb to be more SEO Friendly (36 replies, posted in General discussion)
And we have the usual misuse of the term SEO. The most any forum or infact any application that relies on user contributed content can hope for is SEF. To achieve SEO you would have to edit every single topic and post to ensure the content fitted the statistical analysis of search results in the content area you were trying to optomise for.

Re: Adding a rounded edge (22 replies, posted in General discussion)
Ah. Now I get it. I designed the headers with the sliding doors technigue in mind. Basically you have one very long image with the background and corner and one short image with just the corner. I will have a think to see where you could get the extra tag for the background from.

Re: Adding a rounded edge (22 replies, posted in General discussion)
I suspect you are over complicating it. All you should need is .pun h2 {right background image} and .pun h2 span {left background image}.

Re: Adding a rounded edge (22 replies, posted in General discussion)
Sorry I don't get the problem. The reason the h2 has a span inside it is to allow rounded corners. You just make the span display block and put the padding on that instead of the h2. You then give the h2 some right padding to accommodate the corner. Put the right corner on the h2 and the left on the span. Or is the problem that you don't have the classes available to target what you want?

Re: Difference between blogs and forum? (16 replies, posted in General discussion)
There is also a semantic and structural difference. A blog post is essentially an article that has been published and stands on its own merit. Any comments will (or should) relate directly to that article and are normally of far lesser importance. With a forum the topic post may start a thread but is not of any greater importance than the replies that follow. In fact, it may be of less importance if its a question and all the useful information is contained in the replies. As matt1298 indicated, with a forum its all about the conversation, with a blogg, its all about the article.

Re: Opera and PunBB 1.3 (3 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
That is also Opera 8 which has a few nasty bugs. The default stylesheets for PunBB 1.3 will fully support Opera 9 and newer versions. If you want to support Opera 8 then tinker with the stylesheets accordingly.

There really isn't any question of it being illegal unless, as has been said, it is a paid membership site and account sharing is prohibited by the contractual terms of the membership. It could of course be agianst the terms and condtions (rules) of a free site if you choose to prohibit membership sharing in the rules to which new registrants were obliged to agree.

We are getting sidetracked. This was a quick fix to get rid of inline javascript from help links so we can get on with putting out a beta.

Re: Rev 1206: _blank (13 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
The way it works its not quite what I originally intended. I did intend to use rel=external where relevant and then have the bit of javascript that relates to it commented out. That way people wouldn't even have to write an extension, they could just uncomment one line in the script.
