P.S. I justed noticed my rank says senior member.  I feel all old inside now tongue

How does the ranks work? and I mean people getting ranks not behind the scenes. Plus what are the different ranks?

If I'm not mistaken it's:

New Member: 0 posts
Member: 10 posts
Senior Member: 100 posts

Edit: Uggh elbekko, you keep doing this. tongue

Maybe I should just abuse my powers and delete your post when you post a second before me. big_smile

The other problem I seem to be having is that if I am in the Forum mode and then click on Profile and try to change a theme I get the following message:

Bad HTTP_REFERER. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source. If the problem persists please make sure that 'Base URL' is correctly set in Admin/Options and that you are visiting the forum by navigating to that URL. More information regarding the referrer check can be found in the PunBB documentation.

Any ideas?

I installed it but the links aren't right. Once in the Forum, there is no link back to the portal. I got that going by adding a link in the forum "additional menu" thingy.

That's by design. Puntal is meant to add the portal without affecting PunBB files, so you have to add the link through the options page (like you did).

Well, I eventually got this thing working but this is the most complicated MOD I've ever seen and tried.

Well, it's an ambitious project.

crusader wrote:

I am confused. Is this Puntal or the other basic MOD where you have to ad dlinks manually? I am looking for Puntal that would work with the latest release.

Shedrock

Quaker simply mentioned another portal implementation for PunBB, PunBB Frontpage.

Puntal should work with the latest release: http://puntal.foxmask.info/forums/viewt … 2228#p2228

Nice. I really like this mod. Thanks ! I also like your gallery with Lightbox JS. Is the full code for that implementation a secret?

Thanks.

No, it's pretty easy to add Lightbox support to the gallery. I'll email you my modified gallery.php if you would like.

Thanks guys.

Yep, YouTube is jam-packed with magical wonderfulness.

I was wondering if it is possible to embed Google or YouTube videos into forum posts using the code that they provide. 

It looks something like this -

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pHnDkK0y_zg"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pHnDkK0y_zg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

You can add a [youtube] BBCode to your forum with this mod: http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=12627
Enjoy!

i think my lengthy list of extensions is causing my firefox to crash daily. time to weed out the not so usefull ones.

Hehe, I remember when I had 70+ extensions and had similar stability problems. Now that I'm below 20 things are so much better.

This is a sexist thread i noticed how you put in the title "his" ?
Any reason for this ? I think some people might be offended.

Many people (including some females I know) simply use "he," "him," or "his" when referring to a single person of unknown gender, rather than take the time to type out "he or she," "him or her," or "his or hers."

I think you're reading into it too much. smile

Moved to modifications.

You can use either the miniportal tutorial or Puntal (there's an English version available as well as an English support forum).

Just got the Firefox update today, and much to my surprise the update system worked. It's the first time that it has for me.

It's worked for me for quite some time now.

Yeah, I'm suspicious that maybe some extension (or the remnants of one) was causing problems with the updates.

Cool, but   it could keep people busy for hours.
Plus:
I just did 10 rounds on that  site and I failed only 3 times.
Is that good or bad?

Don't worry, it only means you're not human. wink

It's far from the most effective system, but it sure is hilarious.

Have you also set the permissions correctly on a per-forum basis?

pogenwurst,

I´ve tested your code but it doesnt work.

Can't read file: SimpleViewerConfig.xml

SimpleViewerConfig.xml is used in SimpleViewerConfig.php and SimpleViewerFunctions.php.
Ok, it sounds simple but is there a command in punbb to change the directory? Like ind DOS "cd /SimpleViewer" ...

Sorry then. I'd try harder to help (the code I posted was mostly guesswork & copy/paste), but I've managed to render my desktop install of Apache nonfunctional (again) so I can't really do testing at the moment.

Apparently 1.5.0.5 caused problems with Windows Media Player or something.

While I agree with this... At work I dont have the option... which makes a very unpleasent experience. Sorry to say!

Sorry about that. sad

I'll have it on my todo list.

EDIT: There's still a jutter in IE, but it's not quite as severe (unlike the previous jutter, however, I have no idea of the cause). Is that any better for you? Ideas?

P.S. Thanks for joining!

Just noticed the ads on this forum have gone missing.

A few weeks ago I emailed Rickard to report to him that ads for a PhpBB host were showing up (in a topic about AdSense he had requested reports of such occurrences so he could block them), and in his reply to my email he said that he was planning on removing the ads once he got enough money for his payout anyway.

Actually, I believe that's how I had it at one point

Yep, it sure was. I now remember the sequence of events:

1. I had gotten my CSS to the point where there was no Judder in Fx 1.5, Moz 1.7, or Opera 9, but there was one in IE6.
2. I had tried to fix the judder in IE6 many times, in many ways, many of which were similar to Paul's padding suggestions (my problem is that while Opera/Gecko supports "transparent" for a border color, IE6 does not).
3. I gave up on the IE6 judder, figuring its users deserved the annoyance anyway. wink
4. I ran my CSS through the W3C validator, and discovered a bug: "transparent" is a valid border color when specified through BORDER-COLOR, but apparently not through the shorthand BORDER. Perplexing.
5. Not thinking, I replaced "BORDER: 1px solid transparent" with "BORDER-COLOR: transparent", causing the judder to spread to better browsers than IE6.
6. Paul's post made me remember that I had once had it right (in some browsers, at least) and led me to seek a backup.
7. I found said backup and used it to fix the judder in Opera/Gecko. I got around the validator bug by using "BORDER: 1px solid; BORDER-COLOR: transparent".
8. I used Paul's suggestions to try to once again fix the IE6 judder (several times), but grew impatient.
9. I once again gave up on the IE6 judder, once again figuring its users deserved the annoyance anyway.
10. I wrote this post.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. smile

P.S. Thanks for your advice, Paul.
