UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions Anchor Hack Error!!

NOTE: I did a search before posting this.

I'm getting an error saying there is an "illegal division by zero in line 571" from my edit_post.cgi file after installing the Anchor hack. In other words, line 571 is code from the hack that replaces the original script. I've since replaced the hack code with the original, effectively disabling the anchor hack after editing posts. Could someone look at the code and tell me what might be wrong with it? Here is the code from the hack...
Thanks in advance!

well i seriously don't know about this but try this

the error is in line

$doextra = int(($in{reply_num} + 1)/$vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) + 1;

because that's the only line i saw with a division in it

try changing it to
$doextra = int(($in{reply_num} + 1)-$vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) + 1

because that looks like the right algorithm but i dunno....i don't even know CGI!

I'll look into it.

Wow! Thanks Mastermind! I didn't expect a response so fast! YAY!! *happy dance* Don't mind me. I've been up just a little too long. Heh heh.

I just checked and I'm getting the same error in ubb_new_reply.cgi at line 842 (482?). Here's the code that's there...
It's probably something obvious that I'm just not seeing. (Like the time I couldn't get a 2 line hack to work and it was just because I forgot a "{".

Hey Mastermind! Have you had a chance yet to check out my problem? I might try again to see if I can get it to work. The funny thing is it was working fine before I upgraded to 6.04 After reinstalling the hack on that version I started getting the errors. And it was the latest version of the hack as well. I used the previous one on 6.03. Oh and the only modifications I had when I tried to install the anchor hack was the email to replies hack (which affects different code) and my modifications to the CP (to let mods modify their style templates).
