Thanks a lot. Works, really. It was a bit comic that punBB.org proved to be unaccessible when reffering to it from a page generated with punBB...

i am afraid there is a problem with search when using cyrillic symbols in utf-8: could anybody tell me why a russian word with spaces before and after

?????????? (not sure it will be displayed correctly)  is found, but if there is a point or comma after the word:

??????????.

the search returns nothing?..

in this connection: is it a problem of incorrect set of utf-8 (i only changed encoding in lang/... /common.php) or could it be a problem of sqlite indexes or of the search machine itself ? (and is there detailed instruction on how to switch forum to utf-8?)

It seems natural, but too simple decision. I wanted to understand if there can be any dependence on the punBB code itself: one of my test versions was not altered at all (it is empty for now) and there is no problem to go to punbb.org from there, other one was slightly redesigned (though it was applied to templates and .css only). I don't see any other difference between the cases...

I am afraid I have just encountered the same problem: "The precondition on the request for the URL / evaluated to false." reply when trying to go to punbb.org from a forum built on punbb:

Funny thing is, there is no any problem when I use ref. on another (experimental) forum:

Could anybody explain this ?
