Not sure about this one. The links are right above the text.

As strange as it sounds, these are actually used:

Actually, it's the group that should be called Guests, not Guest.

That should be gzip. The gzip homepage uses only the form gzip, although the file format specification headings use GZIP (but the everywhere else it's gzip). I don't think there's such thing as GZip, this is the first time I've seen that.

- Maybe change "This setting applies to every aspect of the board and can, if disabled, not be overridden by forum specific read permissions." to "... and if disabled, can not be overriden ..."

I agree. New visitors might need to scan the forum header for the appropriate link. Hyperlinking the text would eliminate the scan and hence improve usability at the cost of ~120 bytes.

Yes, since they are also hyperlinked here: "Guest posting is disabled. You must login or register to post a reply." Why not be consistent?

In my forum header, there are 11 menu items, so the login and register links are not nearby the text. smile

Re: Spelling errors/Minor changes

Under Rules, remove . from "Forum rules."

The . is in "Forum rules." because of Register "Forum rules. You must agree to the rules to register.", but should be removed under Rules.

Re: Spelling errors/Minor changes

When signature/avatar is disabled, then text referencing these features should be removed from this line.

"Registration enables you to use features such as editing and deleting posts, designing your own signature, uploading an avatar and much more."

Moderate forums:
Change "Select topics to delete, move, open or close" to "Select topics to move, delete, open or close" to match the order of the buttons.

I am unable to replicate this. Have you specified an SMTP server in admin/settings/e-mail or are you using PHP's built-in support?

'Mark forum read redirect'    =>    'All topics and forums in the specified forum have been marked as read. Redirecting ?'

register.php:
// Load the register.php language file
require PUN_ROOT.'lang/'.$pun_user['language'].'/profile.php';
- In comment, change register.php to profile.php

Re: Spelling errors/Minor changes

In the query list at the bottom of the page, I think you got an s for seconds where there doesn't need to be one (I think it was in the total time column).
Also, if that column could have another background, that would be nice...
Sorry I don't have it here right now...
