Bug...

Hey
This is REALLY nice script. Good job Angus!
Though, I spotted one bug.
Really not death serious but would be nice if you could fix it.
I posted first post to my new forum. Worked ok.
Then modified it some, and finally deleted.
Now it shows that topics 1 but posts 0. But it should be topics 0 and posts 0
as I deleted the only post. And when I open the forum where that post should be there is nothing. So it apparently just forgets to fix that "topic" line.
Well thats just what I think.

Also another question. Can I remove the copywright from the bottom of the page and put link to your pages to "about these pages" page?

Thank  you!
(I would donate you some money for doing these GREAT scripts but I´m still student so cant afford it unfortunately ;( *cry*)

Hmm, thanks for the bug report, I'll look into it :).

As  for copyright... well, I'd prefer if it stayed there, to be honest. Feel free to switch it for a graphic or something...? Anyway, even if you're not donating (which is fine, as I'm student too and know where you're coming from) a few links help my Google karma!

Languages: Yes, this is part of the plan! Currently there are a few hardcoded error messages inside the main Perl script (some of the rarer ones). I'll start by moving these into the template file. Then it should be pretty trivial to implement several languages (just copy and paste a few copies of the template file, or do some Perl trickery inside one template file).

Hey, I'm glad you appreciate the effort I put into speed :). It contains a lot of optimisations for viewing forum content, posting is a little slower but that's a lot rarer. If you have time, beat on the script a little and see how fast it goes!

Banning by IPs and referrers and the like is already in the script, check the bottom of the optional configuration section in forum.pl and have fun.

Email...? Hmm. Currently I'm trying to avoid depending on external Perl modules and services; although it wouldn't be too hard to roll in some SMTP code, this is on the backburner right now. What I plan to add instead is some form of RSS/ATOM feed syndication support, so you could use your favourite aggregator to subscribe to recent comments in all forums or a specific forum or similar.

Alright, I'll think about the email stuff :).

I  don't have one offhand, but the guys at http://www.dunslab.net put one together (scroll to the bottom of the page).

Please post in the FreeStyle Menu forum with a link to the page in question. Make sure that you have included fsmenu.js in the head of the document with a SCRIPT tag too.
