I've come up with and implemented a hack for UBB
it's an #anchor hack
so taht you can go to
http://domain.com/cgi-dir/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro#anchor-here and jump right to a category or particular forum..
this doesn't serve much use on a smaller forum ..
but a Site which hosts forums for other people it is very usefull
for example I host forums for BFPWorld
all BFPWorld has to put for their link is
http://ubb.core-dumped.net/cgi-local/Ultimate.cgi?action=into#7 and it jumps right to their category on the forums....
w/o having to do the actual category setting on the CP
or for example say I host a forum for a clan
they can go to
http://ubb.core-dumped.net/cgi-local/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro#500012 and it will anchor right to their Forum..
this serves the purpose of being able to promote the entire message
board without ppl linking
directly to their forums... people visiting your hosted forums will be
able to see the entiere message board instead of just going right into a
particular client's forums...
tell me if you think this is a hack ppl will find usefull and I'll write
it up like I have seen other hacks and submit it
