Nearly all PunBB mods use this sort of readme format. It's part of Rickard's MDK (available on the downloads page).
Hopefully with the advent of the extension system in 1.3, sometime in the future neither readme files nor patches will be necessary.
Can you please paste the entirety of common.php? It sounds like you may have made a mistake.
Would you consider adding a demo?
I like the one where alien spacecraft hover around and shoot lasers at your mouse better. 
I remember dreaming of having something that great on my web page in my younger years.
I checked on it but the script doesn't seem to work in Firefox.

That's surprising (really). The stereotype I hear here in the U.S. tends towards the opposite, i.e. "Sveden ya!"
My best advice would be to look in whatever control panel your host provides you with and see if there's anything about creating a database. Your host might have some support documents about databases as well.
Also, what appears in the drop-down menu where you select the database type?
Just delete or comment out the following block of code in viewtopic.php:
// Now let's deal with the contact links (E-mail and URL)
if (($cur_post['email_setting'] == '0' && !$pun_user['is_guest']) || $pun_user['g_id'] < PUN_GUEST)
$user_contacts[] = '<a href="mailto:'.$cur_post['email'].'">'.$lang_common['E-mail'].'</a>';
else if ($cur_post['email_setting'] == '1' && !$pun_user['is_guest'])
$user_contacts[] = '<a href="misc.php?email='.$cur_post['poster_id'].'">'.$lang_common['E-mail'].'</a>';
if ($cur_post['url'] != '')
$user_contacts[] = '<a href="'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_post['url']).'">'.$lang_topic['Website'].'</a>';

There is a remote avatar mod on Punres, although its reliability seems questionable.

The copy posted to Punres maybe?
Like I said, enable debug mode to get a clearer idea of what the error actually is.
I've been thinking/trying to move my forum over from MySQL to SQLite because a) my host's MySQL is grossly outdated (3.something - though I suppose it doesn't really make much of a difference) and b) I enjoy the convenience of simply downloading the database to back it up (though I suppose neither is really important seeing as no one - including me - posts to my forums anymore).
I also use SQLite when playing around with things locally simply because it's so easy to set up.
In other words, SQLite support is neat to play with but not wholly necessary, for me at least.

If there is something good on widows is hardware compatibility, that's it.
I agree. The only real problems I have now are with the DRM'd music I made the mistake of buying and getting my Logitech mouse fully functional (it's quite aggravating). I also miss Paint.NET.

Aptitude is heaven. 
The ease with which most apps are compiled is great as well, at least compared with the hell I went through trying to compile PHP on Windows.
Please enable debug mode and paste the full error.
I believe comment control does this.
Does it work when you have only one keyword rather than many? You may need to use urlencode() on $keywords.
You should also try enabling debug mode in order to see exactly what the error is.
Moved to modifications.
Have you seen the image awards mod?
The existing mods should work fine for newer versions. Simply follow this guide.
I'm going to be busy for the next few days or longer, so unfortunately I cannot keep arguing like this, despite wanting to. 
Here's what I had written already, but was waiting to post until I had written more.

Ok, good. I wasn't trying to chastise you or anything, I just didn't want you to get a false impression.
twohawks wrote:In fact, I think the concern over presenting falsity or insufficiency in the product is probably more born of pier pressure (what other limited thinkers [long-standing piers in the business] consider "proper representation should be" for this kind of thing) rather than honest and practical (fresh) consideration for what is natural and best for everyone.
My opinion is "I don't care what the other car manufacturer thinks is best or right marketing for cars, I want to think about the people I am selling to, and help them holistically understand the benefits in the best way possible."
I agree that fresh thinking deserves merit, but it is not always a suitable alternative to traditional thinking (which I obviously believe is the case here).
twohawks wrote:and at no additional cost and with no modifications to the core of the vehicle!
I will concede here that yes, with the addition of 1.3's extension system many extra features will likely come "at no [or at least very little] additional cost".
twohawks wrote:(admittedly not all) into some tech
*Shudders at several particularly painful past topics.*
I'd be glad to argue with you more twohawks, but at the moment I've got work to do. I'll get my response written soon.
If you'd like to add description and keywords META tags, the easiest place would be include/template/main.tpl.

i.e. should I wait a bit for this???
RSS feeds are already available for the entire board and individual forums through extern.php in 1.2.x. RSS feeds for individual topics will be included in 1.3.
It does look quite nice.
A nice addition to the main site would be to include music-playing widgets from Napster, RealRhapsody, or similar on the album pages when available. You might be able to get some affiliate cash out of it too.
