Must admit, I quite like it. big_smile The darker themes are more to my liking, personally. Plus, it does define all edges and borders nicely, which is one area where most dark themes fail completely.

That's the one. smile Should work fine whatever version you're running. No alterations have been made in the PM mod in that regard, I believe.

First, to be disrespected, one first has to earn respect. You have failed sadly in that regard so far.

Second, all the information you require is available if you can be arsed to spend five minutes searching. We ain't here to wipe your arse for you.

Thanks MattF... When the message stated that "This mod supports...", I took it to mean the Attachment Mod I was attempting to install, and not the Mod Installer.

It's just when the mod creator decide to put version numbers in the installer. It is somewhat of a misleading, (and largely unnecessary), message.

Look in the PM mod threads. I posted a fix in one of those threads a while ago, I believe.

What is meant with "fork" in this case?
I do not understand, is this FluxBB going to be straight off the same as PunBB, just with a new name, so there'll be two of them now?

A fork is, in the most basic way of explaining it, a completely separate version, based on the same source code, but with a different set of goals over the long term. Initially, differences will be minor, but later on, as things progress, larger differences between the two will occur.

I downloaded your code the other day. Not had chance to have a look at it yet however. I have my hands a tad full with a Gipsy at the moment, but as soon as I get some free time, I'll see if I can possibly spot anything amiss.

There are a lot of IE users who can't use V7, unless M$ has suddenly made it run on anything older than XP.

Probably not a very large amount that would be interested in (or that you would want on) a computer security related board tongue

Really? Of course, you're perfectly correct. I'll carry on being all technically useless and unsophisticated and a glaring security breach on my 2000 machine then. I do apologise for being so stupid to even think otherwise.

Tried to think of a subtle way of putting it, but, get real. There are cartloads of interested people regarding just about every subject, sport and perversion under the sun. Would you have a 'module' written to cater for each and every one of those? If you want something specifically peculiar/specialised, code it yourself if one doesn't exist.

Don't make any gorm to me either. big_smile That's why I posted it. Thought you may be able to make head or tail of it. big_smile

As it is, the logged warning is just that. Everything works as expected, and the logging of that specific message can be disabled if required, so it's not any type of priority problem yet.

Simplest way may just be to create a separate file containg an array of names that are banned, include the file in register.php and use in_array to check if the name is in that list|array. Then just update the array as and when.

This is what the PgSQL site says on the topic:

Add E'' syntax so eventually ordinary strings can treat backslashes literally

Currently PostgreSQL processes a backslash in a string literal as introducing a special escape sequence, e.g. \n or \010. While this allows easy entry of special values, it is nonstandard and makes porting of applications from other databases more difficult. For this reason, the PostgreSQL project is planning to remove the special meaning of backslashes in strings. For backward compatibility and for users who want special backslash processing, a new string syntax has been created. This new string syntax is formed by writing an E immediately preceding the single quote that starts the string, e.g. E'hi\n'. While this release does not change the handling of backslashes in strings, it does add new configuration parameters to help users migrate applications for future releases:

    *

      standard_conforming_strings ? does this release treat backslashes literally in ordinary strings?
    *

      escape_string_warning ? warn about backslashes in ordinary (non-E) strings

The standard_conforming_strings value is read-only. Applications can retrieve the value to know how backslashes are processed. (Presence of the parameter can also be taken as an indication that E'' string syntax is supported.) In a future release, standard_conforming_strings will be true, meaning backslashes will be treated literally in non-E strings. To prepare for this change, use E'' strings in places that need special backslash processing, and turn on escape_string_warning to find additional strings that need to be converted to use E''. Also, use two single-quotes ('') to embed a literal single-quote in a string, rather than the PostgreSQL-supported syntax of backslash single-quote (\'). The former is standards-conforming and does not require the use of the E'' string syntax. You can also use the $$ string syntax, which does not treat backslashes specially.
