I think this kind of approach is the way to go.
If the administrator can easily from the admin panel control a lot of variables in order to brake patterns then it should be easy to keep spammers away with some minor changes here and there

Yay!
Kick ass news! Hope we all work together by giving feedback so a stable version gets out there.

Happy new here everybody!

Ok... hope the discussion doesn't get all broken since this is being discussed in a few topics.

I think a good solution would be some adjustable cap parameters. For example, letting the admin decide after how many posts does a user have the permission to post links. That along with a frequency cap applied only to new users, i think would work.
The more variables the admin can control the most efficient the protection is because the spammers don't get to know what they need to go around.

I belive the future is colaborative solutions like akismet. There is an akismet mod to punbb which i've tryed, but i don't recomend because it's too strict. It's tunned to moderate blog comments which are not supose to have the same kind of content then forum posts.

An anti-spam product with its own spammers database that would be designed specially to punbb would a killer plus.

what  are you looking for specifically?

SQLite comes bundled with php5, if you have php support you have sqlite support very probably too.

Yes, you can query them directly them from the database using sql, and display them yourself.

But maybe if you post more information about your problem somebody can tell you how to fix it. What exactly happens?

1. Yes, you can use your language file to achieve that by editing your language files. Open lang/yourlanguage/common.php
find

'Index'                    =>    'Index',

and replace by

'Index'                    =>    'Home',

2.Yes, go to include/functions.php.... somewhere around like 275 you will find this:

$links[] = '<li id="navuserlist"><a href="userlist.php">'.$lang_common['User list'].'</a>';

Comment that line by adding  two slashes in its beginning.

Be careful, you are going into punbb's code here. If you are not familiar with php and are not sure about something ask first. A missing semicolumn can break your forums.

If possible.

That's perfectly possible.
Restore the database wherever you are moving to and move also the installation folder.

I've done that a few times.

The database itself and the engine are the exact same.
The only difference is that php uses a different set of functions to access it.
I am not aware of the advantages as i never used mysqli myself, but i would guess that all in all there is no noticeable difference. I use mysql, without the 'i' for no particular reason, i just do.
If your forums are small you can actualy go for sqlite which can be more practical, if you are running php5

ahh... it couldn't work but i tried anyway.
It has to be something with the database, cache or something. I forgot to mention that i moved to a new server with a new domain.

Nop... i didn't touch it.
I also find it very weird.
I'm afraid it doesn't help so much, but here goes the screenshot.
