.... your own version of PunBB with the copyright notice removed.

Lets keep things straight here:
My screenshot above shows this footer in my very nice version of PunBB:

Powered by PunBB by Rickard Andersson

Not only do I tell anyone what software Powers my forum, with a Clickable Direct Link to punbb.org,
but I also Credit the developer with his name!
This way more than most people get in a footer.
And you know this is a fact. If you have any experience from www.

Otack är världens lön.

Maybe I should have walked the other way:
Removed all references and changed the style and appearance and code aquite a bit
and called it.
'Powered by halojoy Bulletin Board'

And nobody would have even guessed ...

i dunno about wrap hard but the rest of it seems a bit pointless i mean it makes page slightly smaller but at the same time makes a more squashed

so the wrap hard wraps in the textbox rather than the post view? in which case what about when you paste long lines of code that you don't want to be wrapped?

But if its what you want then go for it wink

Well, if I was into negative critics business
there are a lot I could say is pointless in total sum of punBB scripts.
But, I am getting used to people ONLY thinks good about what they do themselves
and takes any other points as meaninigless or inferior
even sometimes as an attack on their own status as being Besserwiser Knowing better than all others.
So, as climate here is not fruitful
I wont bother posting anymore
just Refining the work I do with my own PERFECT version of punBB.

I can start discussion over at my forum, with people that are positive and generous in comments.
And interested in other views, than their own perfectly superior scripts, that do not need any improvements.
Goodbye staff!

On the topic:
I personally do not want to spend several lines of page-area, for what can easily done in 1 line.
Sometimes avoid scroll-lists.
In general I want as many pages of mine to be able to show WITHOUT SCROLL.

Won't bother with punBB, no more.
Just wanted to tell about my work (a lot of work it is), and possibly get some reaction or responce ....
Very sorry to bother you so much ...

Has anybody noticed this post.
Anyway, I continue my work of stripping down the sizes of files in punBB 1.2.4
My theme is good enough, I think!

What do you think?

- - - - ->  I am working on my own stripped down version of punBB.  <- - - -

MY punBB VERSION:
Main differences in board code in my version:
- Box Height stays always the same(1 line)  row:  'Logged in as mattafort'
......does not use dl dd list for 'View new posts since last' and 'Mark topics as read'
......does not show 'Last visit: xxxx-xx-xxx date'
- Box Height stays always the same(1 line)  row, FOOTER: 'Recent posts' 'Show unanswered' ... 'Powered by ....'
...... does not use dl dd list for items
- Using textarea property WRAP="hard' to avoid very long strings cause OVERFLOW
..... and end of line becomes hidden outside post disiplay box
..... WRAP='hard' (or physical) put automatic break in lines longer than INPUT textarea width.

actually the missing ?> is intentional as it is not needed
and it only creates problems with whitespace at the end, .....

Yes, I now after discovered, there where several other pages also without  ?> at the end of file.
Now I know this is as it should be (and I am the one not knowing too much of PHP, yet).
So, I edited my topic above, not to confuse anybody else.
-------------

It is alright, with me, having PM only as spearate add-on.
I have to agree:
Perhaps for the better to have punBB clean and fast and SHINING ... there are 1000 and 1000 of mods and features that can shame a BASICALLY streamlined and great WORKING BB-software.

Thanks for very positive attitude, with which you reply and discuss.

always

Hello everybody. Hallå allihopa. Lycksele här.

install.php has variable $config, which is used for writing to config.php, when this page is created.
define string for $config misses php endmarker: ?>
Is this a bug???

TODAY:
I have installed punBB today for first time.
Best forum I ever tested!!!
And I have tested at least 10-15 bulletin board softwares.
Including vBulletin commersial forum.

I prefer a forum which work with basic features. And does this FAST.
When you pollute a software with all these graphics: avatars, profile images, button images, and you name it,
no wonder is they becomes slow, many times to an annoying degree.
These addons does contribute to looks. But they can only worsen performance. Not improve.
