They are still doing commits every now and then, but no new version release for awhile. I havent decided whether to upgrade a 1.2 board i have to the newest punbb or fluxbb yet though.

Why is this happening so much? Is it because they are spam posts?

I'm sad to see your development team broken in half, this will only slow down PunBB development. I've never heard of a company support a web product for 2 platforms. sad Especially if you try to keep them at the same level with the same features, I just dont see that working out good at all. Building more extensions for PunBB would of increased its popularity a lot more than any .NET version. neutral

Just want to mention that their should only be link to PunBB, instead of 2, at the bottom. wink

I know this is a small issue, but can you please take it down to 1 link?
thanks wink

Is it OK?

Everything is flattened, but this isnt a big issue, so dont wory about it. wink

If you have SEO urls turned on, it still emails the link as normal

I got an email, letting me know there was a reply to a thread and it gave me this link

"Currently used extensions" in the page footer

The post is located at http://punbb.informer.com/forums/post/120517/#p120517

However when I clicked on it the page wasnt found, because of the SEO urls enabled here, but I searched by the title of the post and found it.

The email part needs to be updated, either that or it needs to know how to convert it to the new url

I meant the source files for the icons (bold, picture) as in PSD or something

I'd like to disable the text Currently used extensions: in the footer with a option in the admin. I think this would be better placed on the

Administration  » Start  » Information page

I have to agree, they should do what wordpress does and put them as a HTML comment and so if you really want to see them, you look at the source code

The admin has this:

User info in posts Show poster location, register date, post count, e-mail and URL in posts.

But I'd like for it to seperate the email address and url options into their own options. I'd dont mind showing the user info but I dont want to show thier email or url, if they put it in their profile and saved it to be public

(3 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 discussion)

The following is in the admin

URL Scheme (SEF URLs) for your board's pages

WARNING! If you select any scheme other than the default scheme you must copy/upload the file .htaccess from the extras directory into the forum root directory. The server that hosts the forums must be configured with mod_rewrite support and must allow the use of .htaccess files. For servers other than Apache, please refer to your servers documentation.

However there is no .htaccess in the extras folder, You rename the .htaccess.dist to just .htaccess

You might want to update that notice there

Can you please make the next version force a space before and after the smilies? Many people click on it and if there isn't a space before it, it wont show up right and its safe to throw one after it too, since they might add a smiley into a huge paragraph without bothering to add a space.

Also do you have the source files to the icons? I was wondering if they had a color version of them or not, otherwise I'll just change the palette in photoshop, but it would be nice if you did have full color versions of them too.

Thanks a lot. smile

Will there be a SpinkBB or simililar setup for fast color changing of PunBB 1.3?

I know its not hard to do it manually, but that site made it so fast to do. cool

Please no more future updates that only change the copyright year.

Copyrights do not have to have the year, they can just say
copyright punbb
and thats it.

That would save a lot of us, lots of headaches. I use a lot of hacks on my forum and dont like having to compare all my files. THanks.

I take that as a Yes I suppose hmm

if I only use the javascript for the easy bbcode, i can just make a note about the gpl in the JS right? and keep the project the way it is, i dont plan on selling it, just using it for my own use for now, but it might go gpl later on

I would give credit in the readme, I just need to know what to put, or if I can even do this.

Thanks.

I'll agree spam filtering and captcha should be options for the default installation, too many newcomers to punbb and people that dont konw php wont have time or know how to implement some of the plugins and mods

i doubt it will happen though, the team here has decided in keeping the core super clean, although spam filters are being put in almost every modern web app now

i think in a way it hurts punbb, i see a lot of old links in old posts that are now using phpbb/smf/vbulletin and I'm sure they switched because of spam and fake registering

  INSTRUCTIONS

  This script is used to include information about your board from
  pages outside the forums and to syndicate news about recent
  discussions via RSS. The script can display a list of recent
  discussions (sorted by post time or last post time), a list of
  active users or a collection of general board statistics. The
  script can be called directly via an URL (for RSS), from a PHP
  include command or through the use of Server Side Includes (SSI).

  The scripts behaviour is controlled via variables supplied in the
  URL to the script. The different variables are: action (what to
  output), show (how many topics to display), fid (the ID or ID's of
  the forum(s) to poll for topics), nfid (the ID or ID's of forums
  that should be excluded) and type (output as HTML or RSS). The
  only mandatory variable is action. Possible/default values are:

    action: active (show most recently active topics) (HTML or RSS)
            new (show newest topics) (HTML or RSS)
            online (show users online) (HTML)
            online_full (as above, but includes a full list) (HTML)
            stats (show board statistics) (HTML)

    show:   Any integer value between 1 and 50. This variables is
            ignored for RSS output. The default is 15.

    fid:    One or more forum ID's (comma-separated). If ignored,
            topics from all guest-readable forums will be polled.

    nfid:   One or more forum ID's (comma-separated) that are to be
            excluded. E.g. the ID of a a test forum.

    type:   RSS. Anything else means HTML output.

  Here are some examples using PHP include().

    Show the 15 most recently active topics from all forums:
    include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=active');

    Show the 10 newest topics from forums with ID 5, 6 and 7:
    include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=new&show=10&fid=5,6,7');

    Show users online:
    include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=online');

    Show users online with full listing of users:
    include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=online_full');

    Show board statistics:
    include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=stats');

  Here are some examples using SSI.

    Show the 5 newest topics from forums with ID 11 and 22:
    <!--#include virtual="forums/extern.php?action=new&show=5&fid=11,22" -->

    Show board statistics:
    <!--#include virtual="forums/extern.php?action=stats" -->

  And finally some examples using extern.php to output an RSS 0.91
  feed.

    Output the 15 most recently active topics:
    http://host.com/extern.php?action=active&type=RSS

    Output the 15 newest topics from forum with ID=2:
    http://host.com/extern.php?action=active&type=RSS&fid=2

  Below you will find some variables you can edit to tailor the
  scripts behaviour to your needs.

I figured out my problem the avatar bug, the avatar code was before the query which is why it was giving wierd results, edited this post with the working code

Ive since made this option default to "Hide your e-mail address and disallow form e-mail." but is there a way to set everyone to that options, im sure some people are set to: "Hide your e-mail address but allow form e-mail." because that was the default beforehand
