This looks very nice!

However, there's a large space between the sidebar and the content on Fx 2.x on Ubuntu Linux 7.04.

Um, what question(s) of yours haven't been answered?

That appears to be an un-modified version of the extern.php it doesn't do me any good. It half way does what I want, it just doesn't show post body content in the feed, it does however show only threads and not replies. If anyone knows how to mod it to do so I would be grateful.

Try this?

Well, I'd first try what I just posted, then check to see how things are going in a few hours.

Try elbekko's custom register timeout mod.

I'm not sure, I got them from http://www.useragentstring.com/

I was originally going to use the list from my "Bot Hide" mod (it's on Punres) but I decided it was too out-of-date and found the aforementioned site on Google. If you want to be extra paranoid you can add the list from that mod.

If you want you can do a Google search to verify these UA strings and/or find additional ones.

It'd be helpful to at least temporarily use a PHP-based statistics package on your forum so you can find out exactly what bots are visiting (and their user agent strings), but it might not be worth the hassle or the slowdown.

Cool, I like your color choice!

I saw X mentioned on Sitepoint some time ago.

On this board? They didn't yield enough revenue to be worth the eyesore they added, so Rickard removed them.

Have you tried the Firebug extension? I barely know any Javascript, but Firebug has gotten me out of a few tight corners nevertheless.

Yes, you may use the image verification mod instead.

Well if you have chat/file.php and forum/include/common.php, you'd use ../forum/include/common.php.

It depends upon your hardware and your host. If you're on shared hosting then it's likely that your host has placed a limit on the number of simultaneous connections you may have.

I spoke with this user and he decided to go with vBulletin instead, so there's no need to reply.

You might also want to take a look at Paint.NET. It's free, it's powerful, and it has a low learning curve. It's one of the few things I miss about Windows.

Will the new page template serve your purposes?

Yes, just set the image to have a transparent background in whatever image editor you use.

PunBB 1.2.15 includes actual changes to the database aside from just the version number so you ought to run the upgrade script.
