Re: 'view more smilies' feature

which browser?

Re: WHY??

i've done symbolic links before; i think there's still one from busmail.org/phpBB to buslist.org/phpBB. i guess there's no real reason not to make another one except i haven't done it yet. sarah, what the stuff in that message does is simple: cd $wherever-you-put-the-forum "cd" means change director...

Re: 'Log me in automatically each visit' feature

Re: Do not automatically parse URLs???

Re: WHY??

hee!

it's because i'm a geek and *nix is case-sensitive. :) they named it phpBB, so i'm respecting that naming. i find capital letters aesthetically unappealing, but i'm weird.
