Think you know your UBB™ code? Prove it! Code Hunter is a new UBBDev Contest/Game. Here are the rules. Below are 5 snippets of code from random UBB files. It is your job to identify them. You will have 1 week to get you guesses in. The person who gets the most right, first is the winner for the week and will receive a special avatar. Entries must be mailed to codehunter@ubbdev.com. DO NOT post responses in the forums, they will be deleted and you will be ineligible to participate in future games. Moderators and Administrators are welcome to play, however, Charles Capps, Ted O'Neill and Dave Dreezer are not  In your entry you must identify the following: - The file name
- where it can be located (i.e. subroutine, module, line number)
- what you think it does
Good luck...this code is based on version 6.3.1.2. If you are not running that version, you can still play by downloading a clean copy from the Infopop members area. Same goes for those with modified boards...a clean copy might be easier to use. Deadline to participate is Wednesday, December 4, 12:01am UBBDev time. One entrant per registered user. Good luck! Snippet #1code:
my $stringification = ""; # *twitch*
$stringification .= qq!%pm_user_index = (n!;
Snippet #2code:
[qb] &SafeGetThreadData2($forum_from, $topic_from);
&SafeGetThreadData2($forum_to, $topic_to); code:
$sc->{options} = undef;
foreach my $n (1 .. $sc->{opts}) {
$in{"q$n" . "name$quest"} = &strip_lead_trail_whitespace($in{"q$n" . "name$quest"});
Snippet #4code:
[qb] my ($whole, $dec) = split (/./, $_[0]);
if ($dec > 49) { $whole++; }
return ($whole);
} if (&FileExists("$vars_config{MembersPath}/user_posts/$in{u}.cgi")) {
@posts = &OpenFileAsArray("$vars_config{MembersPath}/user_posts/$in{u}.cgi");

I did this for the fun of it and I think I figured it out Too bad I can't play  Why did you want to limit it to "Moderators and Administrators" only and not the entire community??? This was actual a good exercise for some of us to actualy learn something and let the experienced correct and explain where we might have gone wrong in our answer. Many want to be able to code and contribute to the community. Stuff like this while fun for "Moderators and Administrators" and making them better does not help the long term issue of needing to revitalize the community as a whole. Hope future games are more inclusive. Just my .02 I will get off my  now

Steven, anyone can play except Charles Capps, Ted O'Neill and Dave Dreezer. So go ahead and enter.
He was pointing out that UBBDev Moderators and Administrators can also play which is irregular for these types of games.

I've just about had it with your attitude, Da... Oh, right. Sure, I agree with the "UBBDev" part, but unfortunately I have problems understanding the first part.

Honestly, to get the true result, you only need to omit the g and swap the names around!
