thanks smartys!

i ran an open board for a little while and started getting spammed.  viagra everywhere.    i just whipped up a custom script to ask a question prior to registration.  stopped spam dead.  i really think that variation is useful in anti-spam methods.  do you know any php or have a friend who does?  roll your own!

1.  upgrade to 1.2.16 asap.

:-)

it seems if you want to post content to a site bugmenot is most suited for spammers and cowardly posters.

if you want to merely read a sites content that requires registration then bugmenot could be quite useful.  having to register just to read some article can be a pain in the ass.

as a side note, a friend of mine has mentioned that he just changes the user agent for his browser to googlebot and is able to read most content without registering.

theres a mod or two for that if you want flash video.

you can always just put a link to the video. 

p.s. - use a better subject next time.  'help me' isn't useful.  'posting video in forum' or something is better.

good luck.

i'm not sure what you're saying but if you are looking for a host https://dreamhost.com/hosting.html has pretty good prices but i've never used them.  i've used yahoo but they suck.  have you seen smarty's site?  http://www.punbb-hosting.com/

you could always make your own server.  :-)

hi.  first off there's plenty of managed hosts who provide mysql / php support.  the os will pretty much be invisible to you.  it sounds like you've purchased more than you need.  but that's okay.  you will have more neat stuff to play with.  :)  i've never used ms iis but i'm sure the general ideas are the same.  so when you try to install, punbb complains there's no db?  well are you mysql running?  on linux at terminal you could do something like,

[eric@firedragon ~]$ yum list mysql
Installed Packages
mysql.x86_64                             5.0.45-4.fc8           installed

so then i know it's installed.  now i would go about configuration.  then make sure i have php and apache and config that as well.  then drop punbb in the proper directory and see what happens.

fiddle around, read some manuals and give us more details.  i'm sure there's some ms guys around here willing to lend a hand.

good luck man!

// by the time i typed this two people already responded :p

agreed.  great job man.

for $19.95 i will gladly be your friend.

^^

lol.

find a file called my.cnf

in that file find a variable called basedir

change the path to /opt/lampp/var/mysql

if this doesn't work i suggest you start over from scratch.  start a new thread.  tell me what distro you're using and i'll walk you though it.  if you're ever in boston you will have to buy me a beer!
