I quite liked "120 k ought to be enough for everybody"

In the same kind there is a quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupery :

La perfection est atteinte, non pas lorsqu'il n'y a plus rien à ajouter, mais lorsqu'il n'y a plus rien à retirer.

Translated in English :

Perfection is attained, not when no more can be added, but when no more can be removed.

I can assure you Smartys that i don't find it funny :-)

Last question for my upgrade : is it safe to assume that the tables that were not converted to utf8_general_ci are not used by fluxbb anymore and can be deleted from the database ?

Another solution for this particular host (free.fr) is possible, following the advice of Guims over at fluxbb.fr I created an .htaccess file in the board root with the following content :

php 1
SetEnv PHP_VER 5
##Passage register globals off
SetEnv REGISTER_GLOBALS 0
## identifiant de session placé dans le cookie
SetEnv SESSION_USE_TRANS_SID 0

It effectively changed the version of PHP used to 5.1.3RC4-dev.

I am running db_update.php right now and an error message appears from time to time

Reconstruction de l'index pour message 8583
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /path/domain/forums/include/functions.php on line 1688
Reconstruction de l'index pour message 8584
...

It did not appear with the stable release. It does not stop the script though.

I can now connect normally and everything seems to be ok.

I'll check more thoroughly and get back to you

I don't know what is the server time zone, it is a french provider (free.fr) so i guess it is UTC+1.
The parameter o_default_timezone is set to 1 in punbb_config on my database so i guess it is also UTC+1.

Regarding cookies : i am running firefox on ubuntu and i found in Edit>>preferences that a cookie exists for the domain though it does not look like the one you pasted. Here is what i see :

Name: punbb_cookie
Content: 2%7C%7C1297509502%7C
Host: test domain
Path: /

Thank you it works after deleting these cache files.

But now i still can't log in : when i enter username and password in login.php i am redirected to index.php without being logged in. I know it is the right username/password  because if i try a random password i get an incorrect password notification.

Thanks again for your help.

I don't know about winsyntax but i tried a few softwares amongst those listed in this thread and i settled for netbeans.

Don't ask me why i chose it, maybe it was the most straightforward for me or because you can use it with windows/mac/linux so i'm not completely lost whenever i move to another OS

So maybe the simplest idea (maybe not the best) is to release the latest usable svn version as 1.3 (as dstroma said) so that people who are waiting for the extension system can start their project and give you developpers more time to add what features that you want to a 1.4 (2 ?) version.

Of course as i read that a lot of people are still planning on using 1.2 for quite a long time (heavily modded forums ...) you could always continue to improve it in the meantime if you have time.

Just my opinion

I would have to agree with some of the comments above, it doesn't hurt (or waste time) to post a weekly update on the forum.

FluxBB definitely needs a PR guy

I don't want to answer for anyone here but i think there is a converter being developed at the moment that will support phpBB forums.

I'll put the link to the right topic here if i find it.

Edit: http://fluxbb.org/forums/topic/1908/the-converter/ but i don't know if it will work for 1.3beta3 or if it's just planned for 1.3stable
