OK I get it now - thanks for the help

I just downloaded again
http://punbb.informer.com/download/punb … _files.zip

all it has is
CHANGED_FILES_ONLY
/upload/ - folder containing 3 .php files

I also tried the gz version which is the same
http://punbb.informer.com/download/punb … les.tar.gz

Yes I followed the instructions and everything was fine upgrading to 1.2.20

but going from 1.2.20 to 1.2.21 there is no 'extras' folder in any of the download zip files

I have just updated to 1.2.21 but in Administration I still see

There isnt the usual update script i.e. 12_to_1221_update.php - should there be?

I have this problem too, I think it is because the server is in a different time zone to the users

Would it not make more sense to adjust the time according to the clock of the local PC with client side javascript - so Pun would output something like

Post_time=now()-1.23 hours

and the browser would display something relevant without all the users having to select a timezone at all.

It seems kind of poor to me that we force everyone to select a timezone but then still get it wrong for a couple of weeks every year because different countries switch DST on different days

Something I noticed trying to login here (http://punbb.informer.com/forums)

it wont let me enter more than 25 characters for an email address when logging in, lots of addresses are a bit longer than that

Not a big deal, but if the code has been updated this year then surely the date (under administration) should too?

I get

Well one of those is more work for the admin, and the other could bring problems with people registering multiple accounts - I'm just surprised theres no option to include the username in the reminder message

I've a little problem with validating an RSS feed from PunBB (using http://feedvalidator.org)

it returns: Your feed appears to be encoded as "iso-8859-1", but your server is reporting "US-ASCII"

I think this is due to
/Lang/English/common.php

includes

        $locale = 'en_US.US-ASCII';
        break;
    default:
        $locale = 'en_US';
        break;
and
        'lang_encoding'    =>'iso-8859-1',

how do I fix these so they are both iso-8859-1' ?

If someone forgets their username - how can they find out from the email address - the password reminder doesnt include the username.

When this happens you can't re-register with a different name as the email addy has already been used

Excellent, just the ticket - thank you

OK this is probably really easy, but I can't figure out which CSS element is causing white boxes to appear just below the 'E-mail  Website' options
