Wouldn't be very hard to fix that if you knew what you were doing

Due to the secrecy and hints dropped around the place I'd say we're going to see a big style change before or on release. Either that or they've been building some of us up for nothing.

Couldn't be bothered to check usernames but whoever was putting crap on Martin is a toss. Maybe he doesn't have any super sensitive info but what does a little security hurt? I use extensive security on my server and home computer, tell me hwta it hurts? And while you're at it just post your login d...

A total re-wreite of the mod but seriously, it doesn't sound like a very complex mod. I doubt it'd take more than 10-15mins to write. If you just wanted to hack your own field in then even less, couple of mins if you knew what you were doing.

If you have a large forum and you want static version to ease server load then wait for a mod to be released. I think this would be a nice feature to have sto...

IPB mustn't have a search feature, otherwise I assume you would know how to work one? There isn't the option to see which topic users are viewing, the team reckons this is the task of a mod. Yes you can edit templates via the admin panel. I can't remember your other questions to answer but there is ...
