a test account would be nice also, as your shoutbox requires us to be logged in

Fixed, I just had to submit the Date & Time settings..
Just a question, why do you use AMPM on GMT/EuroX? I thought that AMPM is only used in the USA...

Perhaps I'm not understanding this properly...? I was under the impression that the am/pm settings were simply a choice of how the time was displayed? Either way, I owe you one PM on its way.... Thanks to all. d.

Heres a question: Is there a way to output the shoutbox to another file called shoutbox_archive. This way you can trace back to a month if you wanted to see a shout, or even a few weeks if need be. Im sure it would have to do with this section: if ($#file > $shouts - 1) {
my $i = 0;
foreach($#file - ($shouts-1)..$#file) {
$file[$i] = $file[$_];
$i++;
}
$#file = $shouts - 1;
}
&WriteFileAsArray("$vars_config{MembersPath}/shoutbox.cgi", @file);

Nice idea... Try that: First create a copy of shoutbox.cgi as shoutbox_archive.cgi in your Members folder. Make sure its CHMOD is 777. Then after the code you posted, add: &AppendFileAsString("$vars_config{MembersPath}/shoutbox_archive.cgi", "n$file[$#file]");Untested, but should work.

I will probably get flamed for asking this newbie question but what is:
# Upload to cgi, chmod 755 and use!
I realize I need to rename the file and upload it. But upload it where? Just to the ubb/cgi folder?
Thanks.
You ever think of writing a book LK? You da man!

Forgot to ask. I love the shoutbox on the main page. I want that style. Is that in a frame? How do I get my board to do frames?
Thanks again.

Joe, You won't get flamed as long as you hate the Spurs Upload the file to your cgi-bin folder, the one with ultimatebb.cgi and cp.cgi. Then if your host is on UNIX chmod the file to 755 (if you don't know how to do that, google "chmod"). About the second question, what do you mean? If you mean the ubbdev.com style, it is indeed an iframe. ubb_shoutbox.cgi has the directions on how to use it as an iframe.

I just added it, but it doesn't appear. What am I doing wrong this time Ian? http://hogwartsbynight.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php I guess my question is, how do you insert the script to appear on the left of your board as such ---> As in, I am horrible at knowing where to put the iframe so it will appear on the left side.

Hello! Here's one for you. I have the shoutbox running as an Iframe. Put in a few style tags to the ubb_shoutbox.cgi file which work fine. However, I am trying to add a gradient background, it gives strange results. In the 'body_extra' area I added both the style and body style tags. Both times, it does create a gradient but it is a blue gradient (which I don't want) regardless of what I change the color to. For the time being I just set a background color. The webpage is: http://www.technicalblog.org/tech/ultimatebb.cgi The code I added for the gradient looks like this: 'body_extra' => 'body style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#555555', startColorstr='#444444', gradientType='0');"' # body tag extra code - IFRAME ONLY Any ideas??? Thanks in advance. Oh, BTW, Version 6.7.2
