Seems to be working fine for me.

Thanks

I suggest you that when it will reach 201 characters (max number + 1), remove 4 characters (197) and replace them with "..." (200)

Thanks for trying the hack

LK

I have done the suggestion
Thanks for this good improvement

is it just me or does it remove the bordor lines?

Consolefreak
Before this post I have no border line in the test board. I went there and place the border in the style template to see if you are right.
This hack dose not do any thing with the boarder you can check the test board and see it there
Thanks for replay

my fault sorry , anyways, thnx 4 making this hack, its very handy!

Version 6.2.

In ubb_forum.cgi, the text says...

Does it mean that the changes (adding $topic) go in there?

My ubb_forum also doesn't have #validate, so I guess you can ignore it.

In the same file, the text says...

[code][/code]I presume there is no need to "duplicate" the my @this_topic_data, instead it should be replaced?

OK, I did both the things above, ie added the $topic in the sub get_forum instead of #validate and also "replaced" my @this_topic_data line instead of "adding" below.

The hack works perfectly

gr8 job...thanks.

btw, I am wondering what this par of the code is doing...

[code][/code]My flood check setting automatically increased to 200 !! (which is the default I set in CP for amount of message characters to display)

Make the first part:[code][/code]

very nice hack

can I choose to show the first message of the topic, or the last message of the topic pls?

Thanks a lot anyways

In your setup TXT, please note switching to vars_misc.cgi . Their might be guys trying to find the FloodCheckSpan value in cp_lib (and we don't want that, right? )

Anywayz, I've uploaded my portion, but it seems vars_misc.cgi doesn't really want to change the file :rolleyes:

My Mega Moderator Title can't be changed too :rolleyes:

I'll see and fix the bug then, don't say chmod 777, I know , and I'm working on a windows.

Bye

yors, I don't think that it will work

wwb, maybe mod cp integration?

Yors
My mistake the validate is to make sour that the only change to the line is the addition of ,"view_topic","view_topic_char" at the end of the line before );

Done now in the new release
Thanks

No you do not change any thing in vars_misc.cgi. it will be updated automatically from the cp.
Will after you do all the modifications that I have done in the new release it should work with you
About the Mega Moderator I will look at it and see if there is any conflict with this hack
---

Lk
Done try it
Thanks for your help

Yors
The correct way to do it is
now it will work
in my previous replay I have note add the above modification

----
Mystik Gotan
The conflict is because you copy the code with out validating
Look for
Note that Mega Moderator has this added to this line before
"MegaModeratorTitle",
and when you replace it with my code that dose not has this variable in it the Mega Moderator will not work

---

Lk
You are right it will not work
Thanks

I dont know why or how, but it actually worked after I did that change!!!

Or is it doing something else that I have not noticed till now . I mean, I said "working fine" before also and THEN noticed that the floodcheck got screwed up

Bottomline is I have to thank you from my heart for this very "useful" hack. With 10,000 members and around 200 avg online in 30 minutes (457 max ), our server is perpetually creaking. (We had to turn Rec. Vis. off to save the server). I guess this helps to reduce server load on the backend, offcourse also being such a gr8 feature for fast surfing on the frontend.
