Is there a way to set it up so that forum administrators/moderators are alerted via e-mail when a new topic is created? I'm currently using UBB.Classic 6.7.1

You can set that in your forum settings for each forum smile

Turn on moderator notification for those forums, them modify ubb_new_reply.cgi.

Find:

# notify moderator?
if (($this_forum[11] eq 'yes') && ($vars_email{UseEmail} eq 'ON')) {


Replace:

# notify moderator?
if (($this_forum[11] eq 'yes') && ($vars_email{UseEmail} eq 'ON') && 0) {

New portion bolded. smile

Do note that this disables moderator notification replies in all forums. Doing this in selective forums is a little more involved.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. But I'm not sure I understand that last statement. Can you elaborate on that?

Since this code is in ubb_new_reply, it only affects replies to threads.

adding && 0 automatically makes it false, meaning you won't be send a notification on new replies. Since this was not added to ubb_new_topic, you'll still recieve a notification when there's a new thread, just not when someone replies to it
