Greetings,
At first I didn't want a forum description so I removed all the text and saved the changes. Then later I typed in a new description, saved the changes, but the description (and text area) remain empty.
This is on a brand new installation running 1.2.6. Any ideas?

try deleting the .php files in the cache folder
Didn't work -(
I can duplicate the problem on 2 different 1.2.6 installations, one on Linux & another on Windows.
Until this is fixed, you can add the description back using the following in phpmyadmin (or any similar script):
UPDATE config SET conf_value = 'your forum description' WHERE conf_name = 'o_board_desc';Remember to delete your cache afterwards.
Thank you.
It's a problem with admin_options.php
The fix:
FIND
// Only update values that have changed
if (isset($pun_config['o_'.$key]) && $pun_config['o_'.$key] != $input)REPLACE WITH
// Only update values that have changed
if (array_key_exists('o_'.$key.'', $pun_config) && $pun_config['o_'.$key] != $input)The problem is when values are NULL, isset is false, whereas array_key_exist is true
Edited to fix my being an idiot 
You're absolutely right. Thanks Smartys
Is this fix included in current 1.2.6 download or I have to patch it manualy ?
No, it isn't. You have to make manual replacement

Hi,
I have zero-experience with PHP (coming from the Perl land )
but why the seconde pair of quotes above? Can't you just
// Only update values that have changed
if (array_key_exists('o_'.$key, $pun_config) && $pun_config['o_'.$key] != $input)Regards

No reason, I just like it better that way
The changed file is not in "punbb-1.2.10-changed_files.zip" 
This was a fix for 1.2.6 (which I believe was put into 1.2.7)
What are you talking about?
Ups, I thought in the changed files are the files differing from the last mayor release?!
So if I want to update over more than one minor versions i have to use the complete update? OOOooops... but works fine at the moment. I will update the forum with the next release.
Yes
Or multiple changed files
