Thanks a lot pogenwurst for taking the time to write such a substantial advice.
Best regards !

Hi !

Every time a new user registers to PunBB he can see the following message:

Thank you for registering. Your password has been sent to the specified address. If it doesn't arrive you can contact the forum administrator at admin@mail.com.

Is it possible to hide this mail address ?
I would so that users could use some kind of a form instead of looking at my email address.

Thanks for any advices.

Hello buddies !

Thanks for your posts in this conversation.
Well, maybe this is not any serious bug but I thought it would be nice to see it improved.
And sure, it can be done be changing the default language string.

Hi !

This is my first report in this section so I hope it will be helpful.

Example description:
Lets say we have one or more forums (sections) that are available just for a special member groups. They are not visible for other users or guests.
Lets say User1 is a member of the special group and he has an access to this hidden sections. He wrote 2 posts only in this special forum.
Now, I'm a guest and I would like to see User1's profile. In the 'User activity' field I can see 'Posts: 2'. So I click on 'Show all posts'. Then I get the following message: 'There are no posts by this user in this forum.'
Of course I shouldn't be able to see his posts as I am not a member of this special group. But... it is not true that 'There are no posts by this user in this forum.' There are posts written by this user, just in a special section that I am not allowed to read. So in my opinion there should be a message saying: 'Some posts written by this user are located in forums that you have no access to.'

It doesn't
PunRes just has the cookie for www.punres.org, not .punres.org
That link is punres.org, so you're not logged in

Yes, this can be a certain reason.
I was not logged when copying this link from my browser.

Thanks elbekko. I have just downloaded this plugin from here
Unfortunately there is something wrong with the files included in this ZIP archive. After unpacking I got AMP_Links_Moderate.php instead of AMP_Smilies.php yikes

Hrmm, I'm sure it wouldn't be too slow... I could easily write a pretty fast script (fast based on MySQL server performace that is) to do this.
Actually, I think I'm off to write a mod for this easyness tongue

Indeed, I think writing a mod it a better idea than implementing such a feature to the original PunBB.
In my opinion PunBB should be as light as possible. If someone wants to add a new feature then he can just install a mod. If one mod doesn't work as it should, it has bugs or is very slow then we can just uninstall it.

Oh, and maybe a better idea, put the smilies in the DB and make it possible to add/modify the smileys from the Admin CP easily.
For the smileys itself, maybe an upload form.

Hi !
Yes, it's a good idea. But I'm sure the author has many such and other requests and this way he would have to build another heavy and slow CMS like SMF or something like that smile
On the other hand I think that PunBB will be great so long as it has only one author. Just look at other open-source CMS systems, discussion boards. They have a lot of various developers and contributors. This way we get a mix of HTML and PHP code - a dangerous blend which contains a lot of bugs.

Cheers !

Hi !
I have just installed and configured my PunBB.
PunBB is really great. I used to work with SMF and other great open-source discussion boards but PunBB is the first which is so thoroughly coded.
I really like its code. No disgusting tables, just a beautiful and clear code.
This is my first post here so let me express my admiration for this great project. I hope the author will be able to read this. Sometimes THANKS are more valuable than any money.

the bad thing about removing width and height is that you then no longer follow the w3c standard for valid html ... instead you hope that the browser will figure it out ...

better is to mod the code, and add two more arrays, one for height and one for width ... and pick the values from those ... then you won't break the html standard validity ....

Well, as I know a W3C specification requires only alt attribute. The specification does not require width and height as obligatory attributes.
I have just removed all width and height attributes for PunBB smilies and run W3C validator which displayed a valid XHTML 1 Strict confirmation.
