NOTE:
"Modifying or hacking" the UBB™ is easy once you have the right stuff. Continue reading if your a newbie.
HOW TO START
-Start by finding the hacks you want to use/add. All UBB™ hacks can be found in the database or the mod forums. Please, use the search function before you request help. Thank you.
-Save the hack on your harddrive or keep it open on your browser if it is a text file. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
-Do NOT USE WORDPAD or NOTEPAD to edit the files.
Try Noted , UltraEdit 32 or Cute HTML .
-Backup your files before editing.
-Open the files needed to modify, in one of the text editors above.
-Backup your files LOCALLY and REMOTELY before editing.
-Find the code as it states, then add or replace with what it says.
-If you can NOT find the code in the file, search for PART of it untill you find the EXACT/correct place of code.
-It is a nice idea to make a NON PUBLIC TEST BOARD and hack their first, getting all the features and changes you want before making the changes public.
-If you have a SERIOUS question/comment, or contribution, post at UBBDev.com.
Warning:
If you do NOT feel comfortable NOT getting support from the MANUFACTURER of the UBB™, DO NOT MODIFY YOUR SCRIPTS IN ANY MANER, SHAPE, OR FORM!!!
