Looks like you got the wrong site. laugh This site is for UBB.classic development. Check out ThreadsDev for UBB.threads questions. smile

Thanks!

- side bar : https://ubbdev.com/db/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=000001 - works the same for threads and ubb classic smile

your threads comes with a ubbtnews script in the "addons" folder, you can use that for your latest threads, etc.

Allen... I went to the link you posted for a tutorial on sidebars. However, that tutorial was written 9/1/00 ... and the links and such in it are dead. What I'm looking for specifically is a Left Sidebar. Any other tutorials or links that you can provide?

Here's an example of the left nav from the tutorial:

https://www.ubbdev.com/tutorials/leftnav.txt

check out the source code for a simplified version of what makes the left column... in your forum, you would put that column on the right (that probably is in the footer) in the header if you wanted it on the left.

I just read all the tips and was hoping someone could help me with my problem concerning a left sidebar. You can see the problem here:

http://www.thatyouththing.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=7

Why does the forum break up halfway down and not all fit in the column beside the left sidebar?

hmmm... your header and footer must be able to stand alone smile You've got to open your tables in the header and close them in the footer.

If you don't mind, paste your header at the top of a text file and your footer at the bottom of that same text file, upload it to your site and post a link to it here. I'll look at it.

I'll do that, but before I do I noticed that it only happens in the individual forum pages. The intro page and the actual post pages display correctly. In other words, go to the same link and click any of the posts and...voila!...everything's okay. Why? It's the exact same style.

Are you using different style templates for each section? If so, you'll need to add the header/footer code to all the templates for it to work. smile

The style is the same for every page...that's what's so confusing. If you'll look at the source code, you may see something I'm missing. I also wondered if this was a problem others have had.

I tried this source and had the same frustrating results. In the general FORUM page (in this case "Gamers Come Here") the table does NOT include everything, but in the specific FORUM TOPIC page (in this case "Cheat Codes") it does. Can somebody please tell me why before I go crazy. I'm using the same style template for both pages.

Here's the link to see what I'm talking about...

Is it possible for you to upgrade your ubb? I know the basic html in it has improved tremendously since 6.04. You've got some serious table issues otherwise. Have you installed any modifications to your site?

At second glance, you've got some problems with your html and the "who's online" modification. Some table problems with it is ruining the rest of your forums.

That's the only mod I've installed and I thought I had done it correctly (since it was working). Could you show me the coding that I need to change? Thanks for the help.

I haven't looked at that code in ages. Are you not able to upgrade?

I'm way behind, huh? :rolleyes: I went to Infopop's website and found the link to download ubbclassic, but it didn't say anything about an upgrade. Am I going to lose all my memebr info if I purchase ubbclassic? How do I keep all the old post information, etc.?

Thanks for the help.

You don't lose anything except the security holes fixed in more recent versions smile Use the upgrade version of the zip file and you'll have no problems. There are many features added since 6.04 as well, I think you'll really like it smile It should also cure the problem you are having here.

Here's the guide to upgrading, ask in our install forum if you still have questions.

Well, I upgraded and lost my Who's Online stuff. Do I just need to re-install that hack? Also, I get this message at the top of my Control Panel:

"Alert: Missing upgrade information has been detected. Please complete the upgrade procedure as soon as possible!"

What did I forget to do? Also, I'd like to display how many times a topic has been viewed/replied...is this a hack b/c I didn't see that otion in the upgrade?

"Recent Visitors" is what the "who's online" turned into when you upgraded. Check the miscellaneous tab in your control panel and set those options for recent visitors, avatars, polls, and smilies (graemlins).

Also, under the maintenance tab, make sure you've used the "upgrade your ubb" link. After that, use the other links in there (rebuild forum stats, rebuild search index, remember member stats, and rebuild member post histories). You'll need to do that to finish the upgrade process.

The upgrade was a great suggestion. Thanks, Allen. I did the "upgrade" link and that took care of the problem. Thanks again.
