I haven't checked the Games.cgi or album.pl but the code I posted is probably the easiest method to having a fully (UBB) intergrated .cgi page. From login to PM to Wordlets to Recent Visitors to Search and more...It's all possible through this one page. The "ultimatebb.cgi" is the heart of UBB so you want all of your UBB pages to go through it..."ubb_lib.cgi" is also a criticial file. While a separate CSS can be used, because this .cgi page is another UBB page, it uses the routines in "public_common.pl" (e.g., templates ($TBT and $TBB), header, footer, etc.).
The code I posted is the skeleton of what the Homepage was(is) to be, but you can use it for anything really. It doesn't matter whether it's .cgi or .pl...I just preferred .cgi. A standalone won't cut it in my opinion...Not for a Homepage...Not for a UBB page.
standalone requires a few less files... not many, but a few
could help with server load, especially if all you're doing is reading a cookie, and requiring a few subs... it's different if they're actually needing to post to the front page or something.
