Question you need an answer for not listed here?
Send in your FAQ (please make reference to the Sporum project)
1.What's the difference between SPT, SPForum, and SPMail?
SPT is the session managment portion of this forum. When a user logs into the forum they are authenticated by the SPT section.
When a user is anon or logged in and viewing the forum posts, making posts, etc then that user is using the SPORUM section.
If the admin (when its installed) sets up the SPMAIL section to be available to users, then users will be using the SPMAIL section when they are sending or retrieving their mail. (Yes users can retrieve their POP3 email accounts and read them here inside the forum.)

2.The date format shows up instead of the date - what can I do about this?
There are a few places where you set the format of the date in this version - here is one such place:
File => SmallPigVars.pm:
Use one of these (not both) as it depends on your server which will work:
'date_format' => "m/d/y h:i p",
-- OR --
'date_format' => "%m/%d/%y %h:%i %p",

6.Who created Sporum?
As far as I can tell there was one individual that did the primary work on what Sporum version 1
became - I don't know his/her name - this person went by the handle small-pig. "Small-pig" dropped
off the Internet sometime Q2 of 2000. The version 2 series of the sporum forum was primarily
the latest unstable version released by "Small-pig" made stable by the work of Mike Robb a.k.a
JS-Examples. Other individuals (Tiger, Volatile, Jeff Dafoe, and a few others) also made improvements
toward this stable version. Primarily these 4 individuals have branched out yet another version
of Sporum - a.k.a. "Spiffy" - They have since dropped all support of the
spiffy branch, leaving the Sporum branch alone.
