Fluxbb has allot more developers working on the core. Punbb are mainly working on the extensions as they are mainly using fluxbb core (to keep compatibility). Fluxbb does have a PM mod as well, and will soon have a proper page for all extensions. Fluxbb has a bigger and better community as well.

If you have falling in love with punbb then you should be over at flexbb, because they are the developers who designed it.!

Declined

Firstly, its all over a fluxbb.org.

I woudnt do any extensions yet as 1.3 is still being developed.

And you look in the file for the hook you want.

http://fluxbb.org/wiki/developing_extensions > If you need help post over at the fluxbb forums

It is $pun_user['userid']

And you can also do !$pun_user['guest'] Something like that

I think for the tpl you can edit them yourself.

Read: http://fluxbb.org/wiki/developing_extensions

If you look at 1.3 code there are tons of:

($hook = get_hook('es_essentials')) ? (defined('FORUM_USE_INCLUDE') ? include $hook : eval($hook)) : null;

They are hooks. And when you make an extension and insert that hook it will replace the hook with your code.

Its a long story, and if your feeling up to it you can find it all out at http://punbb.informer.com/history.php

But the main developers who designed and created punbb have made a fork, called Fluxbb, so as you can tell the forums are almost the same, they are just ran by different people. the reason I say move to fluxbb is because There aint that many people on this site that can help you, I hop between punbb and fluxbb forums because of the split and if you posted a problem here then you wouldn t get much help.

And the community is nothing like phpbb Its allot smaller, better and friendlier.

And in reply to how much skill is needed, For  both 1.2.* and 1.3, You just need common sense. However if you want to start customising and modding your forum allot to how you want it, it all depends on how far you go.

I would reccomendd you look at fluxbb, www.fluxbb.org Its the same as punbb but with a bigger and better community..

I also woundt download and install php/mysql/apach ( which is what punbb/fluxbb needs) and set them up your self, I use pre comiled software such as wamp which is a installable websever for your local pc.

Punbb is 99.9% hacker safe, same with any forum software, you cannot garantee somone in a few years time wont make a hack to get in, but for now, there arnt any, the only thing you will have to install is some sort of spam filter to stop people signing up and posting a lot of rubbish.

Please be aware the 1.2.20 ISNT this forum, This is 1.3 beta, so it will look allot diffrent.

$db_name is in config.php where you say what database you are using/

What file type are you exporting it to, and where are you trying to import it?

If you have mysql installed, why dont you use that?

How are you running your forum? Via a web host or your own local PC?

If you are running it via your pc then did you use a Prebuilt installer like WAMP?

From the tables you have shown me, you dont have any users or posts. Unless you have used the once called "web"? But that looks like a joomla installation.

Or are you talking about another host, Which i dout you are?
