That's cool.
I will keep an eye on it.
This can actually pump up plugins/mods development if both parts agree on releasing it.
Nice style there.
I think that site can particularly handy when punbb 1.3 comes.

I think it lacks some contrast... so much white doesn't get so easy on the eyes.
That's just my opinion.

Re: [SEO_mod for PunBB] Meta Keyword and meta description for each post (43 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
that would require database hacking.
Now you are talking about something that can actually pull your site up in search engines.
But not by itself. You would need something like a tag cloud and modrewrite to take some advantage of those manually inserted meta tags.

Re: Spam kills another forum (2 replies, posted in General discussion)
I have a forum that only gets a couple of messages a week... I used the akismet anti-spam module... it's too efficient... it baned users for everything and nothing... i unbanned some they got banned and again and gave up trying...
I guess that forum will be the next casuality 
I think there should be some adjustable spam blockers... like... a minimum amount of posts to allow a user to post a link, this should be adjustable. Together with that, an adjustable post frequency cap would be cool too.
I think this, and some other simple ideas could be distributed with punbb... then it would stop being a spam target.

Topic: sqlite database oversized? (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I have two forums on the same server... one uses sqlite another mysql.
I used sqlite on the smaller one beacause my hosting provider has kind of a shitty mysql server... it used to get slow and it went down a lot.
Big irony, lately the mysql server has been performing ok and my forum that has an sqlite database is getting locked all the time. The pages take so long to load that the request times out.
I am wondering if that has to do with the database size... the file is about 50mb now... is that to much for an sqlite database? I have about 14 users at the peak hor.

The color thing it's pretty easy to implement if you know a bit of php.

Topic: what's the fastest data storing/access to small amounts of data? (1 replies, posted in Programming)
I want to make a minimalistic banner rotation and management script.
The only data i need a table ( it can be an array, a db table or something ) with the html code and a conter for each banner.
This will be used in a pretty high traffic site so it would need to be optimized. What would you guys sugest?
A sqlite database? A text file with a serialized array? Which one would be faster? I will need to update the counter every pageview.
Punnbb, for example, uses cache, that looks like a fast option. How do i do something similar? Like... dump variable value assignments in php to a file? Is there any quick way to achieve that? Don't know if i made myself clear...

Re: Anyone interested in PunBB.info? (7 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
not meaning to be impolite or whatsoever, a domain is not important anymore nowadays. 99% of the people who would hypothetically enter a similar domain will take less than two seconds realizing that that's not the site he/she is looking for and then google it at once.
Just my two cents

It's very vulnerable. It's trivial to break.
For how long have you been using it now?
I use the akismet module but it bans users for everything and nothing, i am considering using this module instead.

Hey guys, I love this software, i surprised myself with the way i managed to integrate my forum in my site. I should say that my knowledge on html/css is clumsy and poor.
Here goes the link:

It needs some minor fixes here and there, but the resulted is satisfactory.
Opinions are welcome.

Re: LOVE Punbb, but...got a question on signups (17 replies, posted in General discussion)
It is a bot... it might be getting settled to start spamming whenever is more convenient to it.
You should ban those users. There is an user administration module but i am not sure if it allows you multiple bans. If not that's actually a good idea for a module.

Hey all... i go trough the exact same hard work as you guys. I don't like to hack the forums so much as i like them simple like punbb is. But there is always some specific things on every site that require some code hacking.
Hooks will help a lot on this hopefully.
I will keep an eye on this thread as i am also looking forward to punbb 1.3.

Re: Ideas on how to prevent spam registration? (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
A cool idea would be our own akismet-like spam protection, akismet is optimized for blog posts and is too strict, i am strongly considering uninstall the akismet module on one of my forums. Despite being a cool idea i don't think anybody would assume that effort.
Captchas are effective but i don't think they should come in the default installation because of their accessibility problems. This should have been discussed like 30 times or so on this forum.
A good protection that i am considering to code is a link post permission threshold. Like, a user can only post links after a certain amount of posts and/or a time offset after his/her registration.

Re: Later Update (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
what a cool software... thanks sirena.
This is good for me as i made some changes in punbb source code.
This is a bit a discussion about remote future, but, to help a friend, i gave a look at an SMF module. I haven't looked deep, but aparently they use a XML overlay system to add/change/remove php code in the same way as XUL ( the GUI technology used by firefox and all mozilla apps ) .
Would this be something to consider for version 2 or so?
