OK! Gee Thanx! Ummm If you all say so!

I'm not trying to make enemies but I don't have time to site around and learn PHP or MySQL but reading! I figured out CGI + PERL on the UBB by messing with it!

Once you ppl get a few great scripts this won't be a bad board at all!

2 - 3 weeks ago hypermart deleted my account becuz they said all I was using it for was a UBB! After hours of ahcking and all that Lost! No notification of deletion so I had to start over! i couldn't have backed up becuz I didn't know!

So after going through 5 servers I found the right one! Very nice too! i get my board installed and the Main company says it is using too many resources we are going to have to switch to a faster server. OK Kool thatz nice, I only would have liked it if you had told me before you deleted everything and switched me! After going through all that hacking for the sencond timeall of it is lost!

So the site is down 4 days costing me oodles of cashola! Yippee we are back up! OK I start to hacking away re-configuring now this isn't easy 300+ smilies to configure! I was blessed that the UBB has a hack that allows for as many as you want to add codes to, vB i can upload 1 at a time, wow talk about getting it done quick! So I fix everything after encountering to minro CGI probz i get it up and going to find out that the postings.cgi script takes up 99% of the system resources!

So I switch to vB hoping that truly I can import my ubb, truns out you can only import topics / categories & members! Back to the drawing board... hmmm ok I know nothing about MySQL and very very little about PHP3 so letz try this! Come to find out there are very few hacks, the control panel is very primitive and hard to read becuz the menus is in bold and it is like

forumdisplay
quotereply

thisandthat very hard to read!

Finally I get it all fixed to a degree, so now i'm from
B L A H to N A H and I need Y E A H!

So i come here for help and i here edit the templates ok thats kool.

If I have to edit the templates then I will!

I'll just import the code into Dreamweaver 4 and edit from there!
