1. The "unread posts" isn't accurate. Keeps forums/threads marked unread until you log out. (or at least for a long time) (can this be fixed ? )
This seems to bother some people, and I'd guess we should look into it. The way I browse the arch forums doesn't really have this problem though:
* Click "show new posts since last visit"
* Middle click everything I want to read, going through all posts
* Click "mark as read"
* Read posts

Yes, someone on IRC reminded me this issue bothers me a lot :

17:21 biio >> I see the forums still dont have a version of
punbb that marks a thread as read after its read

Maybe I'll try the above way of browsing.

isn't it possible to change date format with punbb? When I look date in this formate, I must always think if the second number is the month or the day... I'm too much used to day-month-year I guess...

I know this is a old topic, but real poll would be really nice and this forum should have it.

Polls cause too many TGNs. If you want a polling service feel free to set one up externally.

You know why was the delete post function removed? That was really useful if I wanted to get rid of inefficient posts.

Cosmin · 2009-07-26 15:02:27

What are TGNs?

Why should you be able to delete posts? When abused, it makes threads very hard to read. The easy solution is to not make "inefficient posts".

I wouldn't say it's an easy solution rather it's the best solution. Misunderstandings can happen. I can agree that it could get abused, so I'll leave it at that. Thanks for answering.
