The shoutbox works for me in Opera 8.54 but it looks fugly.  Instead of scrolling, the entire shoutbox contents continue down the page and the posting form overlays them.  Also, for some reason the links are bold if Javascript is off, but aren't bold if JS is on.

Have you tried picking one base URL and redirecting all the other possibilities to that?  I did that on my board so it could be accessed both with and without "www." in the URL, and it seems to work pretty well.

The autocomplete attribute is invalid XHTML.  It shouldn't be too hard to mod PunBB to use it for those who want it, but I hope the core stays valid.

I mostly use Opera 8.54/WinXP, but the redirect script has the same effect in IE 6/XP as Opera.

To remove the Javascript, first backup your board, just in case.  Then open includes/cache.php for editing.  Search for "onchange" (it'll be near the end of the file).  When you find it, delete this section:

 onchange="window.location=(\'viewforum.php?id=\'+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)"

Save your changes.  Delete all cache_quickjump_*.php files and let PunBB regenerate them, or you won't see any change.

The Javascript affects accessibility because it fires when the selection is changed.  Someone navigating by keyboard (like I do when my mouse putzes out) would be unable to immediately access certain forums.  For example, I would be unable to select the forum three slots above the current forum, because as soon as I arrowed up once, the script would activate and take me to the forum one slot above me -- not where I wanted to go.  This sucks, so I took out the Javascript on my forum using the above method.

The Tehsig forums are hosted on a subdomain of their main domain, which is not run by PunBB.org.  PunBB.org does not host boards for people.

However, you can have a free PunBB-powered board with an address of YOURNAME.mypunbb.com .  MyPunBB is not affilated with PunBB.org as far as I know; it just uses the PunBB software.

Like this?

Try adding the email mod's "from" address to your Yahoo address book.  Yahoo claims to always deliver mail from senders in your address book and not mark them as spam.  I'm afraid it doesn't help the two-day delay, though.

The image files are fine and are only disrupted in IE.  That means it's an IE problem, not a PunBB problem.  I suspect there's a conflict between the PunBB CSS and your own CSS, both of which are loaded by the board.  I've had a similar problem outside of PunBB -- IE seems to have a CSS bug involving display:block on certain elements, but I haven't run down its exact cause yet.

EDIT:  The bug has to be in your "style.css"; when I replicate the page on my hard drive and remove only the line calling that stylesheet, the problem disappears.

Edit extern.php at this line:

$max_subject_length = 30;

Increase that number until it's longer than all subject lines and you won't have any more ellipses in the results.

Sig images are usually remotely hosted, so I don't think PunBB can check image dimensions on them.  Not without a mod to host sigs locally anyway, and further modding to check filesize and dimensions before accepting the upload.

Thanks Steven!  I'd given up trying to figure this out, but here it is.

You can only do PHP including inside PHP start and end tags:

<?php
include('http://www.paternel.be/forum/extern.php?action=active');
?>

That video is a thing of beauty.  1.3 is going to rock!
