UBB.threads and Wordpress experts

In version 7.3 of UBB.threads, we introduced tooltips. This allows users to hover over a topic title in a lists of posts for a forum and have a sneak preview of what was inside, so to speak.

Well, the mistake I made was to make it only an admin selectable option. In other words the entire user base for a particular forum would either have it or not have it. This caused problems, because I’ve found that users either love it or hate it and the middle ground is rare.

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.

Have you ever wanted to have a smiley pop-up for the UBB.threads shoutbox?

Look no further, because I’ll show you how to do it.

Have you ever gone to a UBB.threads site, notice something unique about it’s layout and wonder ‘how the heck did they do that’ ?

For example, there is a very well put together site that is in the ‘Community spotlight’ forum over at UBB.central called [ Love the Garden ]

The UBB.threads custom islands are a good thing and there’s is no doubt about it!

With that said, I always like to do a little tweaking to get more out of the editing process. This article shows how a small modification can do just that.
