That's a very good bit of theming there. I is impressed.
Must have been a lot of work though.
PNG transparency issue? I have little sympathy with that. Would using GIF kill you?

Yes. I am looking for this feature for a long time. It is not a good idea to store files on others' server.
Storing images on your own server has pros and cons. Mostly the cons outweight the pros, IMHO.
A big minus is the bandwidth hosting your own images can consume, as well as the extra server load image serving plus page loading can generate. Other negatives include the storage space image hosting can eat up, which also means extra backup hassles. And there are security risks sometimes in opening up your server to user upload of images.

Re: [solved] slow forum loading time due to added RSS feed (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
How many database queries are shown to be running on each page load?
And is the problem of slow load times at the server, or at the browser? That is to say, does the page take 5 minutes to render at the server, as measured by the code displayed at the bottom of the page, or does it take 5 minutes to display in your browser when you view the page?

LOL.
Seems like your host (GoDaddy?) doesn't like you - your site is un-reachable and seems 'suspended for spam or abuse'.
That was quick...
Word for the wise: avoid GoDaddy as a host or domain registrar if you run a site that has controversial content.

Re: How to make a backup from a whole webforum? (5 replies, posted in Discussions)
'Sniffer' is one word. Another more common one is scraper.
HTTtrack will work fine. Just be careful to limit it to scraping the one site, not follow all the links off the site.
And be prepared to take the chance that the web site or forum administrator might ban you from accessing the site again if s/he detects you scraping hundreds of forum pages using a tool like httrack.
Most system administrators don't like scrapers. Including me. If I see something like that happen without my permission, it's a permaban from the whole server on the scraper's IP address/IP range, and the forum user too if I find them out.

Does blog software allow responses of a great length?
Yes, unfortunately it does.
No one needs to alter any code. It looks like you are using a host who makes the SimpleScripts auto-installer available to their customers to install stuff like blogs and forums.
I think WordPress and Textpattern are on the list of blog software that SimpleScripts can install for you. Try installing either of those. You may find that they will work fine for you - or near enough - out of the box.

Re: Porn-bot problem on Stephen Malkmus message board! (3 replies, posted in Discussions)
if it's possible to allocate admin status to a regualr user who can then sort out this problem?
Not via remote control from PunBB HQ. :)
The admin/owner of the forum is the only one who can give you the privileges you seek.
S/he could for example bump you up to moderator status, and then you could do stuff like close or delete threads etc.

Re: Putting a password on a forum or category. How to? (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
You seem to be trying to build another access control function on top of a forum that already quite good access control.
Just get more granular with the way you classify your users and then apply that to the way you set forum access rights.

Re: [Request] Upload Image in posts (On the local server) (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Have you tried this image hosting service:
http://www.postimage.org/mod.php
They have a plugin for Pun and Flux 1.3 as well as 1.2.
They now use imageshack.us at the back-end, apparently, so they should be quite reliable.

My primary idea was that when I use punbb on my ISP website, I want that only specified IP class /24 or something like that have access to some let's say "Admin Notifications" forum... Other IPs can't see that forum... Etc...
Probably simpler to just control that directly via the conventional user group permissions settings per forum that you can already set via the Pun control panel - ie 'make the Admin Notifications' forum only viewable by users who are members of the group 'ISP Users', not Guest users. Etc

Re: [REQUEST] Tagging topics as NSFW (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
HaVoC wrote:
Basically, much like threads are currently 'Sticky' or 'Closed', I need to be able to tag them as 'NSFW'. It shouldn't change who can post in them and where they sit, just be a big bold tag. Is there any easy way of introducing this?
Even better, is there any way of introducing it so that a member can tag any post in that topic as being NSFW, and the forum will then apply that NSFW tag to the entire thread? A checkbox under Optional post settings would be great, plus a link at the bottom of posts (along with Edit, Delete, etc) to tag an existing post as NSFW, and a link in the moderator bar so moderators can tag things as well.
Cheers
Two suggestions:
(1) Have a look at the official pun_tag extension (at the bottom of the page) to see if it will be useful to you:
http://punbb.informer.com/extensions/
(2) Just develop and enforce a convention with your users so that they learn to begin all NSFW threads or topics with the [NSFW] prefix in the subject.

Re: Is Anti Spam Bot mod needed for 1.3? (12 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Hi Jacky:
Yes, pls do port your mod across to 1.3.
1.3 has an official CAPTCHA extension
http://punbb.informer.com/extensions/
but a mod like yours would be a great complement to it as it has a number of advantages over a graphical CAPTCHA.
One can never have enough firepower at the ready to deal with spambots. They are relentless, as you know, and attacks on 1.3 are far from unknown.

Some useful info:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/ … tions.html
The note about setting the crawl-delay in robots.txt may be particularly handy, if the bump in connections is caused by search bots hammering you.
The note about adding the 'php_value mysql.connect_timeout 20' line into your .htaccess for the forum might also do some good.
