PunBB is one of the fastest and minimal forum softwares powered by PHP. PunBB says about itself:
PunBB is a fast and lightweight PHP-powered discussion board. It is released under the GNU General Public License. Its primary goals are to be faster, smaller and less graphically intensive as compared to other discussion boards. PunBB has fewer features than many other discussion boards, but is generally faster and outputs smaller, semantically correct XHTML-compliant pages.

What’s the purpose this mod?
PunBB has categories for forum. But there is no categorization for Topics like many other forums. This mod implements an iconized category for topics. The end result of this mod is -
- It will add an excellent looking “Category Icons” fieldset in “Post new topic” form. (see Image#1)
- Users can (optionally) select a topic category while posting a topic.
- The category icon will be displayed beside the topic title in forum index page, topic detail page, search result etc. (see Image#2 and Image#3)
- Clicking on a category icon will show all topics under that category.(see Image#4)
Lets see some screenshot of this modification :
