UBB.threads Bounced EMail Processor
June 15, 2016
I, like many of you, have had my fair share of email bounces; whereby your forum sends notices but you just get a not found error back from their former mail host. After years of dealing with these messages, we set out to find an option of dealing with these users, to stop bounce backs.
UBB.threads can be set to disable sending mail to users, and with the help of some cleaver PHP coding we've devised a method of dealing with users Our UBB.threads Bounced EMail Processor script.

UBB.threads Ad Targeting
April 3, 2016
We can provide coding and positioning services for your advertising needs; an example of how this would look can be seen on the A Gardeners Forum [Archive]. If you see a blank AD Island it's because no additional ads could be served by Google Adsense based on the keywords on the page.[/note]
We positioned additional AD Island space (which can all use the same Custom Island code, or could be updated to utilize different Custom Islands for various additional targeting) on:
- The Category Index…

New UBB.threads Peeks
August 25, 2015
Gosh, it's been a while since I wrote an entirely new system for UBB.threads, heck it's been a busy year maintaining things that it's hard to compare any apples to oranges.
As I lay here in bed swiping away at my tablet I think of many new additions to the forum software that I've been using all these years, and this year as part of a team of developers working to produce it as well.
We had a long list of things that we wanted to tackle, one was the fact that we where far from standards co…

New Design
September 14, 2014
We've been working long and hard on our own custom CMS to house our family of sites' code and have just rolled it out here on our design and development hq.
It's taken a great deal of time to get this coding where it is to the point of rolling it out on here, but I hope you all find something you're looking for :).

Basic Tips for Editing Custom Islands
July 24, 2009
This short entry is geared towards giving you some basic pointers on editing custom islands; this covers a couple very common issues that people have (either accidently removing portions of the stock code to make the island not work, or by placing their code in the wrong places, or issues in referencing php code in the html area).
Your stock custom island looks like this:
[code]/* PHP CODE HERE, IF NECESSARY */
/* DO NOT CHANGE THE LINE BELOW */
$body =

GD2 vs ImageMagick Recommendations
March 12, 2008
(GD and ImageMagick only effect the Captcha and Gallery; if you use neither of these then you don't really have to worry about what is right for you as you don't use either of them anyway)
Many users have asked what is better; well, that's up to you to decide really (though IM is more scalable and looks much cleaner :hint:) Well, I'm going to go a level more and visit Operating System support (with IM s GD).
In Windows, to run IM you MUST open CMD.EXE access to your web server software, wh…

Spider List
March 12, 2008
This is by far not a complete list of spiders; that would be most impossible to accomplish. Instead, this is a list of popular spiders that I have come across over several communities.
I will be updating this list from time to time so please check back often. I'll be sure to put the date of the *latest* update under the list.
This page is located on the UBB.Wiki as well.
The Spider Listing can be added to your forums by going to:
Control Panel > Display Options > General > Primary > …

Errors and Solutions
July 31, 2007
This thread will take on various possible error messages and their solutions on a case basis.
Database only viewable by forum administrator
This error generally is only shown to "non admin's", as the admin's should always see the full error (hence the error message); if for whatever reason you're getting this error and are an admin (perhaps you're logged out) there are a couple of options.
If you have CP Access and Error Logging Enabled
CP -> Tools & Info -> Logs -> View SQL Errors Tab

There are several areas that you'll need to visit to setup attachments; we'll cover them all here, including inline embedding of graphics.
