I finally got my UBB Classic board imported to threads, at least on my other site. However, on the old classic board I was able to protect forums with more adult content with a password. Is that possible with Threads?

I'm afraid I'll be making a lot of posts asking questions like why anything with the IMG tags when imported show up as bb code instead of as the picture and can I have an imagine in the header and annoying questions like that

Make a special group and let only the members in that group you wish. No need to have passwords that can be given to non authorized users via email or PM.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. I imported my UBB classic and it has over 5000 members who, over the years (I created the board in 2001), have written for a password and now how do I find out who those members are in order to put them in a group?

Maybe I'm just tired, but it took 7 hours to import all the threads (28,000+ and 215,000+ posts) and when it's all done there's no way to put up the old passwords to the forums, the IMG tags show instead of the images, if I pick a size for the avatars, all the avatars are bloated or squished to fit those parameters, there's no option to uncheck to let the avatars be a bit more free wheeling. Maybe leaving the spaces blank? I had to create a database in MySQL? I think the most technical thing I had to do with the classic board was set permissions on certain scripts and the FTP program was able to do that.

Like I said, I'm probably just tired, but this has turned into UBB Vista for me so far

I had the avatar problem too and had to make changes in one of the forum display files removing the width and height stuff.

I have no idea how you would know who had access to that area other then going through and finding the member names.

Thanks for your help. I looked at your boards, they're really nice. Great color schemes. I have no clue how to put up a banner on my Threads board, but I've been changing up the color schemes. I guess it's shaping up.Thanks again for helping me out.

You can do this on a forum by forum basis, but very quickly...

Admin CP >> Display Options >> General || HTML Includes

Drop the banner code into the 'Default Header' section.

Thanks, Driv. I'm on that screen, but I don't know what a "body onload" tag is.

It's ok, you can safely ignore that
Just drop the HTML banner code in the HTML includes section.


Something like

Thanks, Driv, that part at least is like the old classic board. Thanks, man, I really appreciate your help. I'm running around trying to find answers like a madman
