UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Post history SSI

I whipped out this SSI program so you can track post histories on your UBB. It was developed on v5.45c, but should work on all recent versions. The table output is specialized for our site, but you can tweak the output code. Here it is in action using an SSI call:

Here is the code and the small hack you have to do to get the time to show up...no biggie.

Update: I found a bug in the link building logic. Will look into it tomorrow.

Updated to v1.1. The post history list now utilizes the anchor hack and will take you directly to the post made by each person.

NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE ANCHOR HACK INSTALLED FOR THIS TO WORK. SEE THE DATABASE.

This hack is VERY handy for people with non-high speed internet connections to monitor busy boards. They can now pick and choose from each active post, and get directly to that post with ONE click.

See the link in the first post of this thread for it in action.

I've updated this script and the application. It is now a refreshing popup window that you can use to monitor your boards posts. It is very handy. Even if you don't enable it for users, it is great for admins to track posts. To test it out in the popup window, go to

and click on the "Posts Today" number in the upper right stats area.
