I was finally able to get mine working by adding a require 'full path to ubbcgi.pm' in UBB_SPELL.CGI ... not sure what that is indicative of or how to fix it, but &'s work now. Only other test that has failed is on a very long post it seems to stop pulling text at a certain point. Havn't actually counted the number of characters though, is there a hard set number allowed for input LK?
