I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "did he fire six shots or only five?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel fluxbb?" Well, do ya, punk?

I've posted this before, but it may make sense to mention it again. Maybe it will help someone. The people at stopforumspam.com are doing a great service.  On my 1.2 register.php I added the following about a year ago:

$urlchecker = file_get_contents('http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?ip='.get_remote_address());
 if (strpos($urlchecker, 'yes'))
        die($lang_common['No permission']);

and have not had 1 spam registration since.

This is version 1.2, so its PUN_DEBUG.

See Smartys' sticky topic in this very forum.

In 1.2, those marks are not "Unread marks", they are "New Posts" marks, meaning you'll see any topic that has new posts since your last login time.  When you click "Mark Posts Read", it actually updates your last visit time.

There are a couple of mods on punres.org which change these to work more the way you'd expect (i.e. to show the indicator when there are unread posts instead).  I haven't seen a list of features for 1.4, but I doubt that they will change this in that version, so you may want to search for one of these mods. 

It works better in 1.3 as you can probably see here, but not completely the way you may expect (i.e. it still gets reset to unread posts since your last login, i.e. if you don't read a thread now and come back later it is considered read unless there is a new post in the meantime).

This is quick and dirty in that you'd probably want to change the text I've put in to use the language file, and also find a good way to deal with the formatting of the link (i.e. on its own line rather than just jammed at the beginning of the quote), but this will work:

in post.php find

$quote = '[quote='.$q_poster.']'.$q_message.'[/quote]'."\n";

replace with

$quote = '[quote='.$q_poster.'][url=viewtopic.php?pid='.$qid.'#p'.$qid.']click for quoted post[/url]  '.$q_message.'[/quote]'."\n";

+1            as the kids are saying these days.

Here is a link the user management plugin.  May be useful for you.

The instructions are in the zip in the download link.  There also seems to be a patch  and some bug fixes described in this long thread:

Been a long time since I used it tho'.

That sounds like what would happen if the html is cut off.  Try changing the $subject line like this, then I'll give up

$subject = '<a title="'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'" href="viewtopic.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].'">'.(strlen($subject) > 55 ? substr($subject, 0 , 45).'...' : $subject).'</a>'.$subscraction.'<span title="header=[<img style=\'vertical-align: middle;\' src=\'img/'.$pun_user['style'].'/forum_icons/info.gif\' />&nbsp;&nbsp;'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'] cssheader=[box_header] cssbody=[box_body] body=['. parse_message($cur_topic['message'],'0').'] delay=[0] fadespeed=[0.04] fade=[on]"><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="img/'.$pun_user['style'].'/forum_icons/preview.gif" alt="" />&nbsp;</span><br /><span class="poster_name">'.$lang_topic['Started by'].':</span>&nbsp;<span class="username"><a href="profile.php?id='.$cur_topic['last_poster_id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['poster']).'</a></span>';

That doesn't do what I thought.

Try something like this:

require_once( PUN_ROOT.'include/parser.php');
  $subject = '<a title="'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'" href="viewtopic.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].'">'.(strlen($subject) > 55 ? substr($subject, 0 , 45).'...' : $subject).'</a>'.$subscraction.'<span title="header=[<img style=\'vertical-align: middle;\' src=\'img/'.$pun_user['style'].'/forum_icons/info.gif\' />&nbsp;&nbsp;'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'] cssheader=[box_header] cssbody=[box_body] body=['.(strlen(parse_message($cur_topic['message'],'0')) > 55 ? substr(parse_message($cur_topic['message'],'0'), 0 , 250).'<font style=\'color: red;\'>&nbsp;...cont\'d</font>' : parse_message($cur_topic['message'],'0')).'] delay=[0] fadespeed=[0.04] fade=[on]"><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="img/'.$pun_user['style'].'/forum_icons/preview.gif" alt="" />&nbsp;</span><br /><span class="poster_name">'.$lang_topic['Started by'].':</span>&nbsp;<span class="username"><a href="profile.php?id='.$cur_topic['last_poster_id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['poster']).'</a></span>';

I still think you need to call parse_message on $cur_topic['message'], but here is the potential problem:

If you are cutting off the message body  at 45 characters before you call parse_message, it is possible that you have opened a bbcode tag that does not get closed until after the 45 characters, resulting in invalid bbcode which will  not parse.

If you try to cut off the message body  at 45 characters after you call parse_message, it is possible that you cut of the html in the middle of an html tag which will render invalid html with unpredictable results rendering your entire page.

If you do not cut off the message body, you may end up with huge page sizes with entire messages hidden in the popup divs, but it will probably work.

I think there's plenty of people who will not be moving on right away for many reasons.

As Gizmo already said, there is a mod on punres for this.  You should go find it.  If you have specific questions when implementing it, I'm sure someone will help you.
