just a dumb question

:D
Aprelium,
shouldn't you do your phpbb software a favor and add a
text wrap function to it to keep people from screwing up
the posts?... whats funny is phpbb has the tables set at a certain width and height but when someone wants to be an a**hole they could make the board look real nasty because the people that code phpbb failed to place a text wrap function in their software to keep the textarea input from beating up the table its printed to...
Just a dumb question :(

mmm wouldnt you need to edit a lot of the template in order to fix that?

Kent

all you would have to do is add something like this to the script posting.php
function message($message) {
$message = preg_replace ("/([^\s]{50,})/e", "''.wordwrap('\\1', 50, ' ', 1).''", $message);
return $message;
}
and make sure you call the function...

someone on phpbbhacks.com probably already has something like that done or at least someone there would know how to do it for sure

Kent

I know how to do it ive done it to my phpbb forum already... keeps abusive posters from making my board look naasty...........
i registered for your forum by the way and when I hit submit it gave me a debug mode error and did not send my confirmation email.....
are your smtp settings correct?

Gatewayy

try it again please, i turned off admin approval, im pretty sure i dont have that server setup right now, sorry a little over site on my part 🙂

Kent

can you take me out of your memberbase because Its useless for me and you if I cannot validate it...I will re register when you fix the auto confirmation dealeo

Kent

I use 1st SMTP server for my localhost smtp server with phpbb for auto confirmation emails.

Gatewayy

ok your removed, what do you mean about the smtp server?

Kent

under GENERAL ADMIN
in CONFIGURATION
under EMAIL SETTINGS
there is a spot for your smtp server
where it says admin email put your email addy there
where it says smtp server address you need to put
localhost
but be sure you are running a smtp server locally on your box.
if you dont have one on your server download 1st smtp server
at http://www.emailarms.com

ok done, please let me know if it works 🙂

Kent
