Many thanks... I did get it working, very cool. Beyond the convenience factor, it looks like this is making a big performance/speed improvement on busy boards with lots of forums.
FYI, there are a couple of little typos...
In the instructions:
// We added a link in the menu area of send_header in main.inc.php
That's a typo, it should be ubbt.inc.php
Also, in the last section which creates the redirect,
url=$config[phpurl]/wwwthreads.php?Cat=$Cat
should be
url=$config[phpurl]/ubbthreads.php?Cat=$Cat
But for some strange reason that I couldn't figure out, my redirect wasn't working... I was getting
http://www.mysite.com/ubbthreads.php when it should be
http://www.mysite.com/myforumdirectory/ubbthreads.php ... although everything else is working fine, and similar redirects are working fine in the other ubbthreads scripts. I ended up having to hardcode the URL. Strange.
Cheers & thanks again,
Max
