I agree that it would be an extremely useful feature to be able to restrict registration from certain countries. That should terminate most of the spam problems in PunBB forums. If a spammer would try to bypass by using a proxy server, it could be solved by having a list of proxy servers as an option to block as well.

I guess I should follow this up in case someone else has the same problem.

Dave kindly advised me privately but I found out finally that the best solution is to simply remove "brdtitle" in include/template/main.tpl and add the following html code in header.php (right after <link rel="stylesheet" [...]):

<div style="padding-top: 11px; padding-left: 209px; padding-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;"><IMG SRC="[URL to image]"></div>

(here the padding feature let me adjust exactly so that the image has the exact position as on the remaining part of the site)

Thanks Dave, but there are still some issues. I send you a PM.

I want removed the borders that surrounds the top header, such as that in this forum:

"PunBB Forums
Unfortunately no one can be told what PunBB is - you have to see it for yourself."

Exactly where do I modify with the css code?

No replies. So not possible then?

Is it possible to get rid of the table borders in the header, where the logo is? How?

OK, thanks. I logged in to MySQL and exported to SQL (with default options). So, if I ever need to restore the forum, I log in to MySQL again, and upload the SQL file to there somewhere? (my knowledge in this is unfortunately limited)

Hi there,

I cannot create a backup anymore, using the DB Management tool. I receive a message saying "[...]/admin_loader.php?plugin=AP_DB_management.php is not currently available".

How can I solve this?

Thanks,

Hi Binou,

I have the same problem, it does not notify replies, only new topics.

Also, I need to see the full message in the notification email. Right now, there is just the topic title and the link. Possible to fix?

Otherwise, great mod!! It could be really powerful.

In the topic list there is [subject name] by [name of poster]. How do I remove "by [name of poster]"? I just want the subject, not followed "by blabla".

I managed to do it in a former PunBB forum I have but forgot how I did it. Anyone?


[edit]OK, I found it... it was in the viewforum.php <?php echo $post_link ?>[/edit]

The Grace Period mod only works for a short time after the message has been posted.

Try this: http://wiki.punres.org/Silent_edit_for_users

Edit: Fixed URL

Thanks, that can be handy.

However, I still want to use the functionality of Grace period. In my tests I tried editing about 15 seconds after the post was made. It was set to 1800 seconds grace period.

I would change edit.php to offer the checkbox and not update the edited time, then you won't need to change viewtopic.php.

I tried the Gracemod plug-in twice but it does not seem to work here.

I checked *very* carefully several times that I edited correctly according to the instructions... but still the same message appears "edited by". I'm using PunBB 1.2.14.

I would like to see a feature like this:

During registration, the user must enter a specific field, such as "location".
So, I need this "location" field in the registration page and it is obligatory.

Of course, the point is that I do not want users to fill in afterwards in the profile page because most users simply will not do that.

So, how do I do this?

The PBB gallery mod is really nice. But yes, that feature would be well needed here too. In my community we can have hundreds of picture uploads a day by a few people and having to enter title and description for hundreds of pictures can be very time consuming indeed.
