For now, I have increased the required subject length.
In the long run only an improved captcha may help.
The one in UNB is to easy to decode with OCR.
Maybe use a handwriting font or similar.
A vertical offset between letters is also much more secure.

Subject: Spam Posts by bots?
I have non registered posts (+CAPTCHA) enabled and receive spam links that are automatically added to the board every few days.

Any idea what I could do to prevent this? Is this a bug in the board or a config issue?

Thanks!

I solved it, finally found it ... added it to ...
_head.html

The best setting for the iPhone is:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=580" />

Anything lower will distort the template.

On the iPhone the menu (tab) icons of search, members, etc. are shifted up a bit and the whitespace to the right of sub-forums is to large for mobile devices. But that are minor detals.

Thanks.

My research shows that there is a hook ...
"page.httpheader"
... maybe there is some way to use that?

HMMM? I found this ...
    // TODO: pass <meta>, <link> tags and other information (template parameters?) to the frame script

I cant imagine it is not possible to set robots metatags etc.

Subject: How to add meta tag for iPhone? meta name="viewport"
Hi all!

Does anyone know where to add the meta tag to tell the iPhone that the forums "site" can be viewed with 480px width instead of its default of 960px (which makes fonts inconveniently small).

I need to specifically add the following line:
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=480" />

Thanks, Thomas.

Remark: there is a small bug in the main menu: In FF3 the entries overlap vertically; in Safari the menus wrap, but only after being completely outside the page first (one menu could be invisible) ... although noone would really require access Statistics or Members desparately.

Ahh, ok, I have no chance to use a dev version on a system with 500 users :-)

The reusable components that TAB-R could contribute are the classes:

Contact, User, PluginManager
Dependencies: DB, ErrorHandler, RightsManager, PluginManager
RightsManager is not as advanced as your ACL system. That could be changed though.

Patterns used: Singleton, Factory, Delegation

The application/frontend layer is a set of Page generation classes.
The abstract base class Page instantiates all other Pages with a factory method.
This allows users to replace Pages with their own look by means of configuration (class posing system similar to the poseAs: method of Objective-C/Smalltalk), without loosing upgrades.

I am using 1.6.3 ...
Ok, I found it now ... hope I still remember in a year that there are 2 interfaces to do the same ...  :-/

For UNB2.0 ... Do you have a discussion thread for UNB2.0?

I suggest the following: We could join efforts and you could embed The Address Book Reloaded as account manager & authentication subsystem in UNB 2.0. Should save you lots of time... The DB structure is very lean and code is fully OO and reusable. TAB-R was designed to be embeddable (after some adaptation) within other PHP applications. It can store almost unlimited present and future data without major changes. How about that? ... just an idea ...

Subject: Unconfirmed User can log in, cannot post; Admin cannot identify that
I had a user register, but not use the confirmation link (probably because it was spam filtered).

BUG:
The user can log in without problem, but cannot post without aparent reason (post denied).
Neither Admin nor user can determine the true reason for this failure.
Adding the user to 'Members' with the groups editor fails with no error message and the add request ignored.

SUGGESTION:
Display that the user is in the registration process on the members list at least for the admin.
Display a warning to the user when logging in (better on every page) that she cannot post until confirmed.

PS: I fixed that with phpMyadmin by adding the relation to the user,group table. I hope this has no side effects ...

... strange ...
I never log out in UNB and therefore I always stay logged in.
I probably have logged in here at this site maybe ... hmmm 2 times?
The difficulty is to remember my password next time.
So why do you need to log in every time?

Subject: IE 7 bug: create new thread link on the top of the thread view
Line 738: common_out_lib
$TP['threadlistActionNew'] = '<a href="' . UnbLink('@post', 'forum=' . $forumid, true) . '"><img ' . $UNB['Image']['write'] . ' /> ' . $UNB_T['thread.new'] . '</a>';

Internet Explorer 7: The  create new thread link on the top of the thread view is only selectable when hovering over the icon, but not hovering over the links text. The link on the bottom of the page works fine ... I do not think I we will find the cause in the UNB code or HTML, but ...

Does anyone know a fix?

So you have a relation one vote to one user (for each poll).

I am still thinking about the single sign on solution that we have discussed some month back. But there is always something else coming up ....

The AddressBook Reloaded that gizmo and I have rewritten (finally) is now good to store any data and URIs about a person from phonenumbers, sip,skype, dates to whatever one might think of in the future without DB change.

Probably it could be embedded as contact manager or authentication engine in another web-app.
I was also thinking if it could set the cookies of another application on the same server or directly modify the other DB. But well lets see if magically some time materializes :-D

Ah, ok! Then it is misleading that one can add the rule.
On my intranet I would be happy to let guests vote.
Normally my users find it too 'inconveinet' to register (but not to read).

I could identify them via client certificates, but on average one never would vote twice ... they are too busy working ... ya know ;-)

Anyway thanks for this great piece of software.

Subject: ACL Editor Vote in Polls -- does it work?
I have added the rule "Vote in Polls" -> allow for Guests (specific forum and all forums), and All Users (all forums), but as soon as I logout the polls are still unvoteable and display only the results, not the voting interface.

Any quick ideas why this is the case? Otherwise I will dig into the code to find out why. Thanks.

Here is a list of URI schemes ... thanks to Wikipedia

Actually skype:<screenname>?<action> is a defined scheme!
