Author Topic: This is the BEST trailer EVER! Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-12-2002 03:31 PM                        Damn I can't even get the UBB to make it a "Click Here" link. UBB sucks!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-12-2002 04:39 PM                     I already tried. The address is too long for the UBB to handle. That's why I went in and split it up into 3 lines. Users will have to contend with copying and pasting it into their browser.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-13-2002 12:44 AM                        I bet it's because UBB is a UNIX app. UNIX can't handle anything complex. It would work if the UBB was a Windows 95 app. Windows 95 never fails. Ever.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Ever. Especially Windows 95a, it rocks! However, if the value in this code was set to about 200 we could post links to trailers to our hearts contents. From Infopop's Charles Capps quote: Check ubb_library.pl and ubb_library2.pl for sub Truncate. There will be code there something like s/(\S{180})/$1 /g; - the 180 there is what you will want to change.  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 10-11-2002 10:29 PM                        Listen to this: http://www.blueman.com/feature/unusual.shtml This has been up for at least a year, maybe more. Maybe a coincidence, but I think this influenced the Comedian trailer.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-11-2002 11:15 PM                     It could've been that, or it could've also been Jerry Seinfeld read Roger Ebert's comments regarding "any time a trailer starts with 'in a world' it will be a bad movie." Oh how right he is too! (That may not be the *exact* quote, but that's the basic point of it.)  |  IP: Logged
