Search options (Page 19 of 62)

Please keep in mind that what I said was merely my personal opinion, and it should be taken lightly. I am only a moderator here and not at all involved in the development of PunBB - these issues are not under my control, nor should they be.

That said, let me begin arguing with you.

Why not? Because it gives new users a false impression of what PunBB is, and how it works. What is seen on these forums should be what one sees when he or she downloads and installs PunBB. Otherwise, there is great potential for confusion and frustration.

Also, the fact remains that PunBB is a lightweight forum system, and demonstrates the benefits of such a design philosophy. An official site laden with modifications gives the impression that PunBB - or any other lightweight forum package - is insufficient, which is quite simply false.

Does it eliminate the ability? Certainly not, but it does indeed limit the ability. An official forum and a separate vanilla installation are counterintuitive to some, including myself. I suppose I may be wrong, but it seems to me that many will go straight to the official forums, quite logically assuming them to exist in stock form, thus limiting the ability for a stock demonstration.

Email?

Why keep supporting 1.2.x? Rickard, Paul, and several others have been (and continue to be) working hard to make 1.3 great. Why encourage people to continue using an old version.

Finally, one fundamental problem with this concept of a solitary forum is this - whatever the state of the community, many people will still not search. What posts from the people that do search that are prevented will likely replaced with posts of people asking about "missing" features of their PunBB installs.

Like I said, these are just my opinions, and I'm not making any decision making here. I, like you, am simply stating what I think will work best ( ego is certainly not involved at all ).

It would appear that you need to turn off safe mode (or reconfigure). You'll have to talk to your host.

Maybe someone was eager to know when a reply got posted.

A nice, simple desktop interface is SQLite Query Browser.

Yep, that's pretty much it, except it would be in the else section of the conditional.

                if ($pun_user['g_id'] > PUN_MOD)
                {
                        if ($pun_user['g_search'] == '1')
                                $links[] = '<li id="navsearch"><a href="search.php">'.$lang_common['Search'].'</a>';

                        $links[] = '<li id="navprofile"><a href="profile.php?id='.$pun_user['id'].'">'.$lang_common['Profile'].'</a>';
                        $links[] = '<li id="navlogout"><a href="login.php?action=out&id='.$pun_user['id'].'">'.$lang_common['Logout'].'</a>';
                }
                else
                {
                        $links[] = '<li id="navsearch"><a href="search.php">'.$lang_common['Search'].'</a>';
                        $links[] = '<li id="navprofile"><a href="profile.php?id='.$pun_user['id'].'">'.$lang_common['Profile'].'</a>';
                        $links[] = '<li id="navadmin"><a href="admin_index.php">'.$lang_common['Admin'].'</a>';
                        $links[] = '<li id="navlogout"><a href="login.php?action=out&id='.$pun_user['id'].'">'.$lang_common['Logout'].'</a>';
                }

And perhaps if less people reverted to PHP 4 solely for its ubiquity, it would be less prevalent.

I asked Rickard about it a few months ago and he told me that he had originally planned to include a poll function, but never fully implemented it (I can't remember whether it was that he decided not to add polls and simply left the value in by mistake or that he left it in in case he released an update with polls included at a later date).

I need to start using Gmail's "archive" button.

@Fabiaan: try deleting the files in your PunBB installation's cache folder.
