Basically, the only bug as I see it is that mine isn't NS compatible yet (due to a tiny problem that i'll fix this week). My links are clickable (duh) and my headlines are taken straight from UBB annoucements (thus, no need to enter information twice). For the moment, email me for hack support since I will no longer be posting to this board. Hope to see you all soon. Just a thought http://www.iamcal.com

It is possible to integrate the UBB's current announcements, if turned on. You can also create userdefined news by controlpanel under "Add News" Options: "Show the lastest reg.

HTML and links are allowed. But please use ' instead of ". If the whole line should link to a page then use the second editbox to enter the link. No " again. Add Newsline: Add Newsline-Link (Optional): EDIT / DELETE NEWS The contents of this editbox are the userdefined newslines. Here you can edit or delete old newslines. Change the text in this editbox and press "update" when you're done. a news datarecord consists of "topic", "link", Ensure after editing that the last datarecord may not have an comma as last character!!! hmm?

Didn't need the last fix you offered. Thank you for your patience and help! Now..... We need to make the box taller (or whatever needs to be done) to handle 2 lines of text! If you go too long, it gets cut off, and only partially shows a tip of the 2nd line's text.

I'll play around with that. 5.39 doesn't suck! I just have so many hacks, I can't upgrade. I have extra text fields and truncation crap for news article posting, and I have to comply with copyright laws. I tried an upgrade a while back and none of my stuff worked. Thanks again for your patience and help [aa]!

Is there a way we can fit more text on the one line? It seems the box can accomodate a longer text line.
