I have written a new program called UBBStyles. This program will take your current styles files and let you edit them offline and then upload them. This is for UBB 6.3.X only.



Other screenshots are available on the site.

The reason for this is that you can see the changes as you make them and also have a better environment to create in than the UBB Control Panel.

The current version is in beta, so there will probably be a bug or two as well as I'm open to suggestions on the program too. I've only had one beta tester so far, LK. He has done a good job testing the actual program. The installer and soforth has had only minor testing, but all should be ok.

If you are interested in trying it out, please visit http://ubbstyles.nomadsoft.net to download it.

Please give me your feedback good or bad(as long as it is constructive).

Wow this could be really great to use!

Although I had a problem installing...

"Setup cannot find c:...setup.LST Setup is aborting..."

That's the error I get after unzipping the archive and running setup.exe.

sounds like a cool program... does it support the new css features?

Wow now that would be nice,
I`ll be sure to check into that,

Thanks

Zackary: I'll check the setup now, thanks for the info.

Allen: No. What new CSS feature?

Good job Troy. BTW, Troy, i am interested in talking to you. AIM me: Ghard296, Sometime Friday, or email greg@tssaddicts.com. Thanks.

BTW, i get the same thing.

Zip file updated, should be working now.

Sounds like a good program. I may use it.

Excellent job!

http://ubbstyles.nomadsoft.net/ - the links to MultiHack and UBBStyles categories - is it just me, or they're "broken"?

The UBBStyles one is MHK's category, and MHK's category is empty

Zack, make sure you unextracted the ZIP before clicking on the setup files, some programs just don't unextract all files.

This is a very useful tool, great job.

Downloaded and installed just fine now. I'll spend more time on it this weekend. Great timing too, since I'm going to add My Style to my board.

Thanks Troy!

LK: It's just you I think. Those links seem to work ok for me.

Let me know how things go.

The installer insists that some components of my system are out of date, but it won't tell me what they are... and no offense, Troy, but I'm not about to let it overwrite some key DLLs or somesuch. Any clues as to what it might want to update?

I installed it on this Win98 machine and it said that it found newer files than the installer had. I didn't overwrite and said no to all. It appears to work.

I expect to see the same message on my WIN2K machine when I get home tonight.

LK: I stand corrected, the problems are fixed on the website.

Charles: No problem, I completely understand that. It will be any one of the following files:

Comdlg32.ocx
RICHED32.DLL
richtx32.ocx
TABCTL32.OCX

More than likely you can just ignore it and not overwrite it. I am going to use a newer installer for the next release and this probably won't happen. Normally it is the richtext files that cause this to come up. I think they have an invalid date within them. I blame MS.

How about adding the ability to specify paths like you have in MultiHack? Would be useful for those of us who run more than one UBB and/or run their own web server locally.

ShadowChaser: No problem, not a bad idea. Thanks!

Nice work Troy.

Thanx a lot for the program Troy
Will have a play with that!

Anyone else have any other suggestions? Is this something you guys find useful? I am on the right track?
