Hiya,
I'm new here so please forgive me if I'm posting to the wrong spot.
I currently use the Discus-BB and I've been seriously considering moving to UBB because it looks much nicer.
The problem is that it took me quite a while to hack Discus-BB so that I could put up a recent active discussions window on my index.html page (like this site has on it's main page).
I've seen a few sites that use UBB that have done this (including this one) and I was wondering if this is a simple process or not?
Also, are there any tutorials or anything that describe how to do this?
Thank you for your help!
-Giamage

I want to know too. So far I've figured out you need SSI in order to do this. As soon as my server get's back online and I can get ahold of my webhost I'll try it out. I'm wondering if there's a nonSSI way to do it.

I am fairly certain that the hack you're talking about is called SlashUBB. It does require SSI, and to my knowledge there is no non-SSI alternative. The address for that hack is: https://www.ubbdev.com/db/Forum8/HTML/000012.html Hope this helps. ---Skorpion ------------------  This just in: the New York Police have just apprehended the person who let the dogs out.

oooooh! That's cool! I like that concept ![[Linked Image]](https://ubbdev.com/ubb/smilies/wink.gif) Notice on the demo link ( https://ubbdev.com/index.shtm)it's got the "Latest Threads" box on the right...THAT'S what I'm talking about. Does this hack handle that too by chance? Thanks again! -Giamage

I don't know which part of the main page SlashUBB is covering... whether it's the actual posts, or the latest threads portion. I have never used the hack before, myself. If Allen comes in here, he'll be able to help you more. ---Skorpion ------------------ This just in: the New York Police have just apprehended the person who let the dogs out.
