hi,

I use phpBB actually and one nice feature is the possibility to create user groups, making permissions managment much easier.

Would it be possible to add possibility to create groups so that you can allow permissions for private forums to whole groups of users? A password is nice in a perfect world, but if you have someone who has access and you want to remove his right to access private forum, you can't do it with a password, unless you change it... removing the user from a usergroup is much simpler way to prevent him coming back in the private forum.

well, it happened to me (as admin) but a couple of buddies who registered didn't have the problem.

I had a small problem and had to reinstall (I messed my mySQL base) and had the same again... I had it again, but I paid more attantion to it:

it appeared when server and admin had different timezone (admin 1 hour more). If I put the time zone to teh same value (or admin in a more eastern zone) it's ok again.

but.. for the moment, I won't search more... I have to leave and it's only a temporary server... I'll install punbb on a definitive server in a week or so, and I'll see what happens then. maybe my server is a bit tired or something wink

I think I got it


when a new user registers, it's noted that he joined last time on january 1st 1970 at 00.00 hours...

if he's eastwards from greenwich, it puts him an hour (or more) before, which puts the "first time" in 1969, and windows doesn't agree...

if you disconnect and reconnect it disappears...

I just installed PunBB locally and I get the following message:


Warning: date(): Windows does not support dates prior to midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970 in e:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\punbb-1.1.1\upload\include\functions.php on line 587

I looked into functions.php but it loks fine, and my clock is on todays date... any ideas?

I just discovered this board, and I must say: it's great. Fast and clear...


I have a question (not only PunBB related btw) about pics in a forum: if you put a picture in your post (situated on a different server), when someone reads your message, does he download the picture directly from the source adress (bypassing the forum) or does the forum server get a copy of the pic and upload it to the user from there (in different words, does putting and "img" tag increase your used bandwith? )

thx smile
