#103855 - 06/20/00 05:05 PM Napster Digital Forum help
Anonymous

I am the administrator for the Napster Digital Forum ( http://forum.napster.com) . There's a slight problem regarding cookies.

We've managed to set http://forum.napster.com to forward to http://forum.napster.com/forum/Ultimate.cgi, and the cookies there update upon
refresh (the on/off buttons). However, going into forums from http://forum.napster.com doesn't refresh the on/off of the individual posts. If
you go into the forums from http://forum.napster.com/forum/Ultimate.cgi
however, it does refresh and the posts turn off/on accordingly.

What's a way to fix this? We do not want to advertise such a long URL ( http://forum.napster.com/forum/Ultimate.cgi ) just to fix this problem. Is there some code that can be changed? We are using Ultimate Bulletin Board Version 5.45c.

Thank you,
Wayne Chang

I thought it was just me, but no you have spammed all the forums with this problem of yours. Please pick the most appropriate forum for your question and stick with it.

These forums are very helpful and busy, so I am sure you will get an answer to your question, but this is not the appropriate way to go about it!

Set this as your index.html for forums.napster.com:

<html><frameset cols="*"><frame src="http://forums.napster.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi" name="main"></framset><noframes>What, no frames? Tsk, tsk! Click me!</noframes></html>

Users can then enter through forums.napster.com or through Ultimate.cgi, and they won't know the difference...

Oh, and what werehere said is true - please don't crosspost, it doesn't get you help any faster, and only angers we moderators.

for the record, here is the correct way to mask a ubb url masked within a frame:

<html>
<head>
<title>
Your Forum Name
</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" frameborder="0">
<frame src="http://yourubbaddress">
<frame src="whatever.html">
</frameset>
</html>

You'll find that the code in the post before this one does not work with Netscape as Netscape does not allow one frame within a frameset. The frameborder="0" is there for the sake of Opera browsers. "whatever.html" doesn't HAVE to be an actual page (as it doesn't show up), but you might want to make it a real page (blank or... whatever) to avoid all those errors it will generate every time your forum loads.

I'm adding this so late cause I was having a similar problem, and nothing came up in the searches; so this is my little contribution to your archive!

(ttol is a spammer! hehe)
