Okay.. I misunderstood. Here was the post or the basic idea from before. I posted it on quetsions too but I didn't get any reply. Right now my ubb is not functioning. I know that if need be I can restore it (before I tried once already) but I would like to get it working. Please please help. Thank you.

Good evening,

The Active Topics hack is a great idea and I'm sure when I get it working I'll love it.

However I messed something up. Maybe you all can help.

I am running my site and ubb (Version 6.04d) on a unix box. Yesterday and the day before I tried to install Active Topics v1.8d. I have checked and double checked the code that I needed to edit and also the file permissions of the new and edited files and I believe all that be be set up correctly.

The URL to my site is http://www.doghause.com/. The UBB should be at http://doghause.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi but since I did the hack, it (ultimatebb.cgi and cp.cgi) just won't work. I get Error 500.

I feel a little out of my element as I am an html coder and not really a programmer. If anyone can offer any help, I'd appreciate it. Mostly what I am looking for is either the magic answer that tells me what I most likely did or a way to test cgi to see where things are going wrong.

Thank you for reading this and thanks in advance if you care to help.

PS I noticed one weird issue. In the text doc that is included in the zip file that among other things lists what files to upload, one file it lists is called ubb_active_topics.pl but the file included is ubb_active_topics.cgi. I tried renaming ubb_active_topics.cgi to ubb_active_topics.pl but that didn't solve any problems. What is it supposed to be? pl or cgi? Maybe I should look for references to ubb_active_topics.pl in the other docs... I'm so lost.

Hey all. It's me again. Just wanted to let you know, I put it back the way it was. Just couldn't figure out what was causing the problem. Maybe when teh next version comes out I'll try again.

So what's happened to the guy supposed to be carrying the mod on? Haven't seen any posts.

its deja vu all over again...

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!!!

why, ubbdev... why have you foresaken me?! a simple active topics mod is all i ask.

i dont understand your complicated ways, your new fangled cgi's... this "magic box" that i stare at daily, it wont answer my questions.

for you see... im just a caveman -- unfrozen by a group of modern day scientists. i dont understand the ways of your world. i dont understand the philosophies you use. i dont understand how to make an active topics list for my board...

but i do know this...

someone out there does! and all this simple, unfrozen caveman lawyer needs is your assistance.

thank you.

If you didnt know.. He is selling his UBB and going to be moving on to a different kind of ubb.

and thus... we wait in eternal slumber once more....

..sigh..

Has anybody tried to contact the guy who supposedly took over?

Hello everyone,

I don't use many hacks but a particular hack called Active Threads (for UBB5.x) was my favorite. So about 2 weeks ago when I upgraded my UBB from 5.x to 6.05 and started looking for an Active Threads or equivalent mod. Active Topics was the only thing close to it.

I've read everyones posts here and found many of the same frustrations and problems I recieved using Active Topics and won't go into details. I no longer use Active Topics.

What I'm looking for is an Active Threads type of mod. Since there is none for UBB6.x I've decided to create one.

I invite everyone who is looking for a mod thats more like Active Threads from UBB5.x to try Latest Threads SSI. I'm a huge UBB fan and will support and update the Latest Threads SSI mod.

Latest Threads SSI is completely new code. No code from Active Threads or Active Topics has been copied.

More info on Latest Threads SSI v1.0beta

Thanks

Casual
