I noticed that at digitalfault.com that when you go to digitalfault.com (not the UBB address) you get the UBB. How can I do that? I really like that.

Create a new page called index.php. Make its content:
Code
[/code]Then rename index.htm, index.html, index.shtm, etc to index2. If it doesn't work, you have to add cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi to your default document, if you can control httpd.conf file for Apache or the IIS.

For example, I have the following in my Apache:
Code
</pre></div></div>Oh, and also then you'll have to rename index.*, unless you put cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi BEFORE anything else, like I did<br><br>If you can't do any of those, you can make index.shtm, and make its content: [code]
I like the second option (change Apache/IIS) the most, because you can use http://www.url.com?ubb=whatever, and it shows you that thing. For example www.lkubb.dns2go.com?ubb=demo;s=12 or www.lkubb.dns2go.com/cgi-bin/?ubb=dumpcookies

I used the first one since I can't control the httpd.conf file... Anyways, it works great, thanks again LK!

I just set my server to look for forums/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi as the default address.

That's the second option, to change DirectoryIndex in Apache or the default document in IIS
