Found the problem. It wasn't actually just the function not being called, but I inadvertently wrote over files that had code for mods in them, causing them not to work. So, after a lot of troubleshooting and patience...I know what the problem is...now I have to actually fix it lol.
Thanks for the help.
Quaker, I had the ap mod installed and should have mentioned that I tried it.
Smartys, it appears that a member made a post, deleted it, which deleted it from the db, but it's still showing up. I'll check my code to see if there's some place where the function isn't being called.
I'll let you know if I get it working.
I hope someone can help me. I'm sure it's something I've overlooked, but I can't find a solution.
A post that appears to have been deleted from the db is still kinda showing up. The actual post is gone,
but a reference, placeholder, if you will, is still showing up on the site: http://www.raticals.com/img/phantom.jpg
What am I missing?
Thanks in advanced 
James,
Thanks for the response. I took a peek at extern.php and you are right, this should get me started with integrating punBB info into the rest of my site.
As for #1 (previous/next topic navigation), I'm surprised that no one appears to be looking for this type of functionality.

I added it to my own site; it was actually a pretty easy fix.
ETA: Sorry, I was mistaken...I was thinking of paging through, not actually going to the next topic. Sorry

I like it! Your layout is so nice and clean.
Good idea - I was gonna set up Puntal, but got sidetracked. Now that I see your reasoning, I'll put in a little more effort. Thanks Connorhd!
I was thinking of doing the same thing, for the same reason.
One friend also suggested creating a "forum exchange" of sorts, where forum owners commit to posting a certain amount on each other's forum to generate interest.
Hello Webby,
If you find before me, you would be nice to post here the solution.
I will make the same if I find on my side. Thank you.(Sorry for my poor english)
No problem. BTW Your English is just fine
Yes but the options are "Minimum days registered" and "Maximum number of posts",..
What about a user regitered one year ago, log in to the forum every days but have never posted on the forum?
Wow, that's exactly what I was looking for.
I say then just get rid of the 'delete' button from viewtopic.php
Already did that, yesterday. Thanks anyway

I agree... What is the point in having a moderator with no power. LoL
IdleFire, I do have a "deleted" files section.
Let me clarify, it's not that I don't trust their judgment, it's just that a mod accidently deleted a very long thread, when they only intended to "move" it. We're all really new to running a forum, so I just want to rule out "newbie" errors
I think that I managed to find my own solution.
1. I disabled the delete link in viewtopic.php for the mods.
2. I changed the moderate.php to first check to see who is logged in, Admin or Mod.
If the Admin is logged in the Delete button is available, otherwise it's not.
I hope that I'm puttig this in the correct forum.
I would like to change the permissions of the moderator group restricting them to move topics/posts, rather than outright deleting them.
I changed the Delete Topic option to "no", but mods are still able to delete entire topics, including topics posted by the admin.
Please, tell me if I am doing something wrong, or missing something.
Thank you in advance.
I finally got this to work. It was actually pretty easy, once I figured out which variables to pass via the link.
That is a bit problematic.
The query that gives you these variables does not look for the user id. But that's what you need for a link to profile.php.
You can solve that by adding a join to the user table but I would not do that as it causes a good deal of extra DB activity.
Ok, I see what you mean. I definitely don't want to stress out my DB.
Playing with this forum is probably not the ideal way of learning PHP, but I'm enjoying every moment of it
If you had your forum send a PM to everyone subsribed to a topic, wouldn't the PM table fill up pretty fast? Considering if 10 people subscribe to a topic, and there are ten replies, that means 100 rows in the PMS table. A few days and a busy forum and your database would be bloated.
http://punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=226 for the PM mod if you wish.
Point well taken. Thanks for helping me to see the logic 
PunBB doesn't have PMs by default
It's a mod you can install though
Ok. I already have it installed, didn't realize that it wasn't a default feature.
Geesh, I didnt' realize how much I have to learn.
Currently, no. PunBB does not have PM's at all, so such an option wouldn't make a lot of sense
Maybe PM stands for something else...sorry, I meant private messages that members can send back and forth on the forum.
Is it possible to subscribe to a topic withouth having to send email?
For instance, is is possible to give the option to receive email or PM?
Yes. I did not change much in the original index, just the way the links display. This is the line of code that I'm trying ot pass a variable too (BTW, in case it's not obvious, I have ZERO experience with PHP, but I'm trying my best to learn).
$last_post = '<br /> <a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'"'.$idmT.'><b>'.$idm.'</b></a><br />'.format_time($cur_forum['last_post']).' <span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['last_poster']).'</span>';
Hi all,
I've been lurking here for about a month, since getting my forum set up. I couldn't find the answer to my question(s), so I finally registered.
I've got my index page set up so that the Title of last post, date/time of last post and poster is visible. I was trying to make the poster's name a link that pulls up their profile. I am not able to figure out how to pass the variable to profile.php. Can anyone help?
Did any of my babbling make sense?
