Hi,
My ISP does not want to disable:
register globals
magic quotes gpc
... due to the impact on other websites on
that shared server. They also don't think there is much of a performance issue referencing the ISP address instead of a unix domain socket.
How bad could the forum performance be if these three items are not set as recommended?
Thanks,
Rob

If supported by your ISP (.htaccess control over PHP config) the forum will automatically place an .htaccess inside the forum directory with optimum PHP configuration directives.
The usage of TCP/IP rather the unix domain sockets may have 5-10% impact on some pages. The difference largely depends on whether the MySQL server is local and the amount of data being transfered. If MySQL server is on another server with large amount of data you may see up to 10% speed drop. On local MySQL server the difference maybe only a few percent.
If PHP settings change you won't need to change anything as far as FUD is concerned. As far as MySQL settings you can change the connection preference post install in the global configuration.

Ok, thanks. Also, the ISP disabled safe mode php during the install so I could create & use my own directories. Would it be ok for them to enable it again now the FUD forum is installed? - they're a bit concerned about hackers.
Thanks,
Rob

That should be fine. Keep in mind safe_mode would protect you against no more then a wool blanket infront of your eyes.

Also, re. the administrator email and Notify email settings, can the 'prefix@' part be updated directly on the global config. screen without creating problems?
Thanks,
Rob

Yes.
