Hi,
I have a rules page in my forum, and I would like it so that the links (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) don't open up in a new window.
I want them so that when you click on one of them, it jumps down the same page. I have almost achieved this with the first link - it opens up a new window at the correct position on the page, but I really need a way to force the link to open up in the *same* window.
The page is here:
http://www.superiorpics.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/797561/an/0/page/0#797561

Thanks!

You have to make the post type HTML and write in html to do so.
Links that are convertd through the UBB code always open in new window, you can't change this behaviour just for one post.

Do you have access to the database itself? You could change the post directly in there also and remove the target="_blank" parts of the URLs.

How would I go about making the post type HTML?

I do have access to the database I think, although I would be a bit worried about damaging something, and wouldn't really know how to go about doing it anyway.

By the way, I don't get email notifications of replies to this message, even though it's one of my 'favorites'. Is the email not working for this messageboard?

>How would I go about making the post type HTML?

Execute the following query in your database
your_forums_url/admin/database.php?returntab=1

UPDATE `w3t_Posts`
SET `B_Convert` = 'both'
WHERE `B_Number` = '797561'

Then you can edit the post and insert html in there.
