I wanted to launch a subforum with an Arabic title and description. The description worked just fine, but couldn't get through the title. It keeps replacing the last letters of the title by some strange symbols.
Example:

Original Title
The result

  ???? ??? ?????
???? ??? ????&

?????? ???????
?????? ?????&#

Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks a million.

Seriously, if you manage to find out what criteria the likes of AOL/Gmail/Hotmail use, (other than random can't be arsed'ness), to filter e-mails, you'll have succeeded where no other has. big_smile big_smile

Wrong address, Sir! ^^

One thing to check first, however, are the basics  for smooth operation on a correctly configured smtp/MX server, i.e:

1) Do you have a PTR record for the outbound smtp server?

2) Are you using an A record and not a CNAME for the outbound smtp server?

3) Is the DNS correctly configured in all other regards for the outbound server?

DNS errors or misconfigurations are one thing that will lead to your mail being dumped/quarantined in no short fashion by a lot of MX servers. The CNAME part is more essential in MX records, but it is best practise not used on both MX/outbound smtp servers.

^^ Wrong address big time! If you think I know one single thing of what you're talking about, then you're misled ^^. I thought that my question was "too simple"! I don't even know how to do anything of the above smile, but thanks a lot for taking the time to respond smile.

I figured it out.

I only have the BB Spam Fighter 1.0.0 and a captchabox! I didn't know those can prevent sending passwords!
Maybe I better change the registration options as I said earlier.

Hello.

In my forum, I often get complaints from people I know for not receiving their password..ever! I then get to change it manually for them, and then they update it once logged in. Quite a hassle! I tend to think that all those users that register and never show up then never got to receive their passwords at the first place!
Is it more likely to be a server problem? Or a punbb problem? Maybe better give up the password sending process and just let registration be smooth?
Thanks for your input.

I thought it was somewhere around here!

Err..I am not sure you're addressing me, but if you are, then sorry to desappoint you. I am no web designer nor programmer, and like yourself, all I know about Punbb [modest knowledge that is] I learned it thanks to this forum.
I hope someone else could help you with this.

Hello everyone.
Although I am -again- sure I read about this someone, I can't find it anymore: Where can I please find more games to the arcade?
Mod installed: Arcade_1_1

And I didn't notice that this was an old topic wink.

Freedom was never about attacking someone else's beliefs. It's about choosing what you want to believe in, and let others in peace with their own beliefs.
As much as I know, there is no criteria for this part of the forum that says "please, no Islam related forums". No one is hijacking your own freedom by just posting a link! And no one obliged you to join that forum anyways. I don't see that your freedom in invaded by any means.
That was just my two cents for not understanding why there should even be an issue, and do not intend to go on with this.

I do not understand. There is written:

##   Affected files:  include/parser.php
##                    edit.php

But changes which is made are only in parser.php...

Sometimes the readme files have some mistakes, or are not updated after many changes. Just follow the steps, it's a pretty easy mod smile.

Oh hi Smartys, I am back again smile
Unfortunately both links still do not work for me. I wonder why!
I'll try again tomorrow and see if they work!

Er.. The link is not working for me. Neither is http://www.punres.org/forums.php

I am almost sure that I had seen this somewhere before, but couldn't find it again.
Is there a mod that makes it possible to show in the forum's "last post" column the title of the thread this post was posted in?
Thanks, and sorry if this was asked before.

Yep, pretty useful.
Thanks smile.

My forum www.speakmoroccan.com/forum is related to my website www.speakmoroccan.com
I got it installed like a few months ago, and it's just this month that I started enjoying it really and installing mods all by my own. And that is a HUGE thing, folks!
The forums are related to my dialect, the Moroccan one, and is dedicated to people learning it. It's also a forum for Moroccans, and people from the Maghreb in general.

Any Arabic speaking people in da house?

Alright, thanks for your answer smile.

Hmm..So is that "use it", or "not use it"? "Makes it load slower" or "not"? smile

Does the youtube mod make the forum load any slower?
I mean...it's not the same if you had just a link posted than if you had an embeded video. Or is it?

I didn't know. Thanks smile.
