Topic: Werfpop.nl with PunBB online today

As of today the website of the free popfestival Werfpop (located Leiden, Netherlands) uses the PunBB software for its forum.
Also the software is used embedded in an iframe for allowing reactions on band news and such.

PunBB is a very nice product, a breeze to install and featherlight in comparison to our old phpBB forum, also the converter utility provided at the download page worked flawlessly!

Re: Werfpop.nl with PunBB online today

Just a small remark on the "converter worked flawlesly" mentioned above, that's not entirely true.

The converter linked the guest user (id 1) in __users to the "members" group in __groups (id 4), that should be groups->id 3 (Group Guests).

Also another thing, the default style wasn't correctly set in the db table (it still mentioned Oxygen), now since there is a specific Werfpop 2005 theme available i just updated all the style cells in __users table to "Werfpop_2005" and changed the default also, that seems to work (read look) ok now.

Apart from that there were these 2 very strange bugs mentioned in this very short thread:
Troubleshooting » Problem: (Guest) posts show up more than once

Apart from the above, the forum is still running nicely! smile
