Credits: JB007 for the original version and Mastermind, LK, Burak, and many others for updates
Notes: This is a medium/minor update with several bugfixes and lots of small tweaks to the code. Not as good as a full CI ubbnews, but works until that one comes along
Input for further refinement is always appreciated

Hey allen, anyway to get a textbox with forums listed like in the CI list?
Allen, you may want to add that people need to add a folder named "ubbnews" to their cgi directory... Otherwise theil get:

Where you select forums you want to use, it'd be better to have a textbox showing the forums you have then having to go and find the forum number for each forum ...

Hey allen, quick little thing... When I go to http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1 to view the news id, it shows the wording as my background color on black (not my text color) any idea why? Better yet, anyway to get it to not output colors at all so i could use css?

You can use css, just adjust it on your template file. It shows the colors you see because normally the text color is set by the rest of your page (within the ubb it's in the small bit of css charles has added in public_common.pl )

it's a yes when 6.6 is final If you already had it installed on a previous version, your newsfeeds will still work, it's just not integrated into the cp
