Hello,

Trying on install 1.2.16 on an exsisting UTF8 database I get:

An error occured on line 1269 in file c:\documents and settings\mypathexample\webdev\punbb\install.php.

PunBB reported: Unable to create indexes. Please check your configuration and try again.

Database reported: Specified key was too long; max key length is 255 bytes (Errno: 1071)

I read somewhere in the forums that if I change utf8 to latin it will work, but is there a better solution?

Thanks.

Hello,
I'm planning to install a forum on a site, I'm pretty sure that it will be Punbb,
I know it is impossible for devellopers to give a specific date on when 1.3 will be ready,
but is it possible to have a rough estimation like (a couple of years, 3 months, 6 weeks...)
I need something that will help me make the decision.

Thanks
