You will have to forgive my ignorance. All I know about 1337 is it was the start of the Hundred Years War. (from what I remember it was a bit like Euro 2004. England were beating France and then got clobbered in injury time)

It's strict so far and will stay that way subject to any usability concerns.

Why would anybody "need" a forum to be XHTML 1.0 Strict?

I like Wordpress. It seems particularly popular amongst web designers looking at some of the blogs out there.

So nothing in Sweden has happened recently then.

"Show todays posts" is the usual. The only reason I suggested 24 hours rather than the actual day is if you hit it one minute after midnight nothing is going to show up. Also it would cause confusion across timezones. Alternatives are
"Show latest posts"
"Show recent posts"
"Show posts for last 24 hours"

Personally I quite like "Show recent posts".

If the links to the posts in the search result are not going to jump to the new post but just to the topic then maybe "Show active topics".

I don't get this problem. On winxp I just get the default for the selected theme which in my case is white text on a medium green background which shows up fine.

Try removing all the other styles from the styles directory. All your users should then end up with the default style automatically.

Just when you think you've finished something along comes some bright spark .....

When calculating height IE fails to take account of the height of the horizontal scrollbar. Therefore instead of putting the horizontal scrollbar after the image it plonks it on top of the end of the image. Result is vertical scrolling by an amount equivelant to the height of the horisontal scrollbar. I am still working on eliminating it but I can't promise a solution. There might be an answer using getimagesize so IE can be fed real height rather than having to calculate it though that feels like overkill. You can turn the vertical scrollbar off in IE but then you loose the bottom 16px of the image. If you want to try it add overflow-y: hidden to the relevant class in the stylesheet.

Incidentally, it should be possible to make this work with PunBB 1.1x but it almost certainly requires a fixed width on the div containing the image rather than 100% to stop the table expanding in IE.

Slightly off topic, but does this raise a design issue? Is the space currently taken up by the copyright potentially too useful to be used for that purpose. Should the copyright be the traditional one line citation right at the bottom of the board?

Sticking a Powered by PunBB in the XTHML isn't a bad idea. Good for search ratings as well.

It's this line you want
$subject = $lang_forum['Sticky'].': '.$subject;

Change it to this
$subject = '<span class="sticky">'.$lang_forum['Sticky'].': </span>'.$subject;

Now set the colour for sticky in the stylesheets
SPAN.sticky {color: red}

There are other ways but this is the easiest.
