I moved my forum to a new server, forgot about permissions. The forum worked just fine until I made a change to the config. It moaned about the cache directory not having proper permissions. I chmod'd the cache directory to 0777, but it still complained. The files inside also need to be chmod'd to 0777 as well.

Never mind. I figured it out. 
http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=7552 is what did the trick.

Topic: Simply Including Content on the Front Page (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
I have a forum that I've dedicated to news.
I want to include these topics and display the message (with the appropriate parsers). I do not want to use the news generator plugin as it generates static HTML and I'd like to keep my page as dynamic as possible.
I've tried reading through the topics here in the integration forum, and I'm really confused.
All of the topics are in forum id "2".
I'd like to generate something like this:
=====
Topic 1
Posted by username at date
Blah blah blah blah
Reply to this (0 replies)
=====
"Reply to this" would be a link to the actual forum page with that topic ID.
As I said before, I want to make it simple, so I'd like to use functions built-in to the forum itself, but the large number of posts in the integration forum here somewhat contradict each other and it seems like there's a million ways to go about this.

Topic: Timezones (0 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
A friend of mine is taking a vacation in Australia, so I've been thinking about timezones quite a bit.
Something I've noticed with PunBB, not really a bug is the lack of timezone features. For some, selecting a GMT offset will be ok. The problem is those who live in areas that experience day light savings time.
I'm in US/Pacific and in the winter we are GMT -8. However, in the summer we are GMT -7. Timezones are confusing. And to top it off, many places in Britain are actually on the prime meridian, but also feature a "day light savings time" called British Summer Time. When these places are in BST, they are actually GMT +1. It happens about a week after ours, and the difference is still 8 hours. However, it is NOT GMT -8. It's GMT -7. GMT never changes +/- 1 hour for summer/winter.
Confusing, but I thought it might be worth while to have "correct" timezone features.
So basically, enable a feature for "daylight savings time"!
