i believe he did, but it's a very standard looking theme. it's installed by default and it just felt similar to "home" for me.bf2gammer wrote:

hmm, i don't really want to go with SMF, i've been on some SMF forums and i don't like them too much. aren't all the BBs kind of similar?CrazeD wrote:

Both are fast, lots of features, lots of mods, easy to mod, large mod-friendly community, etc.Kmarion wrote:

I highly advise you don't do that. vBulletin and IPB (and others I'm sure) have validation checks every like month or so, to see if you are using legit software with a legit registration code. Pirated ones will be nullified which means these checks will have been removed, but since they are so deeply embedded, it's not always a guarantee that they're removed and well...it's really easy to get fucked hard with that.TopHat01 wrote:
"acquire" vBulletin, it's some kickass forum software.
(I'm assuming you don't want to spend $180 on forum software )
hah, i don't want to bother resizing rl friends' signatures...they don't know how to do it themselvesKmarion wrote:

is FluxBB 2.0 coming out in the near feature? if not, i'll probably get to work on FluxBB 1.2 then.liquidat0r wrote:
FluxBB is a fork of PunBB. The 1.2.* versions are virtually identical - see below. The only reason you're using FluxBB on that free forum hosting site is because the guy who owns it used to be a core developer of PunBB and forked, with the other core developers to FluxBB. So the former core developers of PunBB are now developing FluxBB and PunBB is now owned by some Russians ... I know where I'd rather be.
I recommend using FluxBB 1.2.*, soon to be renamed to FluxBB 1.4 - where extra features are going to be added, namely utf-8 support. FluxBB 1.2.* is virtually the same as PunBB 1.2.* as it a direct fork with only a few security fixes and tweaks. Thus making FluxBB marginally better at the current time and soon to be much better as a result of the changes/improvements coming in 1.4.
I do not recommend using PunBB 1.3.* or FluxBB 1.3.*. PunBB 1.3.* is not finished and shouldn't have been released and FluxBB 1.3.* is no longer being developed (and is unfinished) - it is being replaced by FluxBB 2.0.

I'd use FluxBB 1.2 now and then upgrade to 1.4 when it's released (hopefully quite soon) and then eventually upgrade to 2.0.

Yes, though you'll need to know some PHP. Or ask someone for the code.haffeysucks wrote:
edit: oh wait, just a few more questions. on pun-bbhosting, it wasn't possible to work in the backend. for me, it obviously will be. does that mean i can change things like "there are new messages" link to a simpler, more visible "Messages (1)"?
Surely punBB has a language pack system?liquidat0r wrote:
