Laura, as suggested at Infopop that the ubb is a sort of a hub in a website and not a part in the corner, this things are more and more coming into the ubb i guess,
I have a url to this links manualy installed in the public_topic_pl after the IP icon. To do this is very easy, you just have to setup a "free for all links" perl script, and if i't is working you can implement it.
