UBB.threads and Wordpress experts

A feature that has always been needed is a simple way to upload images directly into a new post without having to either upload to a gallery forum first or a popular picture sharing site, then link to it.

There are other methods too, including having a companion photopost installation that links the board members together, but in the end, you can’t beat, just clicking on a button in the editor toolbar, selecting a number of images and uploading them right into a post.

Ubb.threads has a very underused, but powerful capability in what are called “Custom Islands”.

You essentially can have a php code module be scheduled to run at whatever interval you want to produce output to be used as one of the custom islands (left or right) on your forums.

This will show you how

A customer of mine recently wanted to know if I could gin up a custom ubbcode tag for Gametrailer.com and I obliged him.

I don’t know how many times I’ve seen someone post on the UBB.central support forums, “How do I add a logo to the top of my new forum?”. It’s a simple request, really and we’ll find out that the answer is just as simple.

UBB.threads usually allows for alternating row colors in many of the parts of the forum and it is nice to have in order to set apart the rows by color (or more specifically CSS styling).

The Post Island is such a creature that doesn’t allow this for some reason. Oversight? I really don’t know, but it is really a small tweak to put in the option to alternate the rows and make them have a distinct look.
