You are expressly prohibited from redistributing this hack, or a modification
based on this hack, or any part contained within it, without my expressly
written consent.  If you lack an understanding of any of the words in the
preceding sentence, stop reading this hack now and go play with your tinker
toys.

Any use of this code constitutes unconditional acceptance of the above
statements.

Clear?

This hack format is a little different than most.  If you have problems
following it, I can advise a few people to help you with reading skills...

The long lines of # marks indicate section seperations.  Do not copy & paste
these into the file as part of the hack.

Lines starting like #---- are seperators for sample code.  Do not search for
them or copy & paste them as part of the hack.

The CODE SNIPPETS mentioned IN the instructions are BELOW the instructions.

Files required:

cgi-bin/ubb_lib_posting.cgi
noncgi/Templates/public_topic_page.cgi

Version required: Any 6.1.0 Public Beta 1.1 or LATER

NOTE: This hack requires noncgi/down.gif, which is included in the UBB 5.47
distribution.  If you lack this file, please log into the UBB Members Area
and grab the 5.47 zip file.  The file should be present if you upgraded to UBB
6.x from 5.x.

NOTE FOR STEPS 8 AND 12: The line numbers are APROXIMATE, and are adjusted
for the size of the code inserted above.  If the numbers are wrong, then look
about 30 lines in either direction.  If that fails, search for them using your
text editor's tools.  If THAT fails, give up.  :)

NOTE ON STYLES: This may look ugly.  If you want the link to appear elsewhere,
then move CODE SNIPPET 3 somewhere else.  NO, I WILL NOT HELP YOU DO THIS.  If
you lack the capacity to understand how to move something, then you should
seriously reconsider performing any code hacks to your board whatsoever.

Instructions:

1.	OPEN ubb_lib_posting.cgi

2.	SCROLL to line 430, which should have lines reading:
#---------- START sample
	undef($ThisPage);
	undef($TopicPageTotal);
	undef($PostTotal);
	undef($PageName);
#---------- END sample

3.	Below the last undef, add CODE SNIPPET 1.

4.	Save and close ubb_lib_posting.cgi

5.	OPEN public_topic_page.pl

6.	SCROLL to line 6, which is the line *AFTER*:
#---------- START sample
	my $html_stuff = qq~
#---------- END sample

7.	Below that line, add CODE SNIPPET 2.

8.	SCROLL to line ~60:
#---------- START sample
<FONT SIZE="1" FACE="$vars_style{FontFace}">
<A HREF="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi"><IMG SRC="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/$vars_style{BBTitle}" border="0"></A>
$topic_closed
#---------- END sample

9.	AFTER the "$topic_closed", insert CODE SNIPPET 3

10.	If you have the ANCHOR HACK installed, go to STEP 14.

11.	If you do NOT have the ANCHOR HACK installed, or don't know what it is,
	continue on.  :)

12.	SCROLL to line ~190:
#---------- START sample
<table width="100%" cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0>
<TR bgcolor="$alt_color">
<TD width="18%" valign="top">
#---------- END sample

13.	CHANGE line 190 to CODE SNIPPET 4

14.	Save and close public_topic_page.pl

15.	Upload the two changed files to your UBB.  Set permissions if required
	by your server platform.
