You got it! I just read the same answer on the MM forums.
This server has mostly very old sites, so the issue has never come up before.
Indeed, for Gecko browsers AND a doctype declaration, you must serve the CSS files properly, mea culpa et al!
Full data here:
I did try to change prefs but it doesn't help. I hate these diffs in browser rendering especially now that we have a tool like CSS! 
I really think Mozilla based CSS suppoirt is important and we need to find out what the problem is. I may try to post the question in Macromedia forums since those folks are experts in CSS differences.
What's weird is that locally the CSS displays correctly and looking at the source, there is NO good reason it shouldn't work online!
before I go to dinner...
A forum is another form of online content management. When you persuade people to contribute intelligently to a forum, they provide content. In order to ensure high quality of that content, vetting is needed. That way there is never any spam or inappropriate posts.
In this way a forum is a kind of "group blog". The admin approval is important for this reason IMHO.
Good night !
Folks this is interesting stuff...
I hope PunBB works out for you - it's fun to be "a part of it" however small...
I didn't seriously expect to see such things incorporated so quickly and I don't know if others care about them, but I do know that in this day and age, I can't allow open posting on a customer's site.
Good luck and thanks for all the fish!
Pretty cool actually - one this though, the public should'nt even see the thread subject without approval because they could say hoorible things right in the subject
Very impressive what you did though!
that is very interesting!
Do you (admin) receive an email when someone posts?
Posting a reply now to subscribe in case you come up witrh anything 
Let me try to be more clear here.
The forum I'm talking about is in a way like a guest book. There may be returning visitors, but there may also just be people who want to post once. In no case can a post be visible before we see it because it may be offensive (as happened once.)
So you go to a site, you read a few posts of other visitors on a particular subject (let's say tasting notes of wine) and you want o add yours.
What I am looking for would be a forum where registration is not mandatory (or very easy) but the main feature is that the posts do not appear until approved.
In my own forum, when a user "posts" all he is really doing is causing an email to be sent to me with a forum that contains his/her post. If I ignore thbis, nothing happens and n o database entry is made - very clean, you see? If I hit the submit button ont he forum, the post is ummm, posted on the forum with the info of the user.
I hope that clears it up. I'm not sure PunBB is something that will ever do this (it is a fine piece of work by the way) but it's helpful for me to kick the ideas around.
The idea is that anyone can post.
However, no post (except an admin) can appear without being seen first by an admin.
Here's why: we woke up one day to a long war related-post (not the current war, years ago) and since then we do not allow posting without vetting.
I know that Phorum can do this, but it does seem less efficient than PunBB.
Many people do not want to register with an email and all just to post a single message. My own forum (in C) just accepts posts and emails the admin who is free to approve or not. I don't particularly want to rewrite the thing for use with style sheets, but maybe that's exactly what I should do!
I'm running Opera 7.xx... which works.
Can't test it in firebird though... did you make any changes in the CSS? Have you tried to empty the cache or something like that?
Yeah I emptyed the cache. But now I'm wondering about the cache of my access provider. I've ben having problems with other sites as well, but they just began today whereas this one started yesterday.
Ooops... no it works in MSIE but not Firebird.
But it works in FB when local?
When I look the style sheet is not applied in any browser I have (MSIE 6, Firebird)
Thsi is a feature of some BBS. I realize it's a little odd, but we run a forum for a company that does not wish to see spam and superfluous posts in their visitor forum.
Is there any way to easily implement this?
My own software sends me an email with a form I can actually correct of the post. It appears only if I post it.
The traffic is very small on the forum I'm talking about.
thx
For some reason the board works perfectly on my server but the CSS style sheet is not working. If I save a page in Firebird (with images and other files) and look at it locally on my disk it works perfectly with the sheet.
Wha?
