In order for this to work for me I had to replace the _CRLF_ with /n and also you should note that allow subscriptions needs to be enabled in the control panel.

I've implemented this hack to fb 1.0.4 but I'm getting this error after clicking the subscribe button:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /usr/home/deb1234/domains/test1234.nl/public_html/components/com_fireboard/template/default/post.php on line 270

What could the problem be?

Here's the attachement. Rename to .php

OK, things get too messy trying to post lines of html on Joomla Board so I've written a HowTo and put it here:
http://www.wittongilbert.free-online.co.uk/FBHack/HowTo.html

I've also posted amended versions of the files for FB1.0.4 so you don't even need to open a text editor!

This is untested at the moment

Comments / changes / bugs / problems / praise back on this thread please. If I update it, I'll post here too...

Thank you very much, but the html file is empty.

The html file is empty when using IE. Firefox works fine.

Thanx mate. This is great!

Unfortunately the sql code gives an error:

SQL-query:

ALTER TABLE jos_fb_subscriptions CHANGE `thread` `thread` INT( 11 ) NULL DEFAULT '0' ALTER TABLE

MySQL retourneerde: Documentatie
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE' at line 2

I've changed the second line:

ALTER TABLE #__fb_subscriptions ADD `category` INT( 11 ) NULL DEFAULT '0'

into:

ALTER TABLE jos_fb_subscriptions ADD `category` INT( 11 ) NULL DEFAULT '0'

and the query works that way. But is this correct?

Everything seems to work after testing, but I still wonder whether the sql queries I finally ran are ok. Could you confirm/unconfirm?

Furthermore I was wondering if it is possible to change the behaviour of the hack right after clicking the subscribe button. At the moment it goes to the fireboard profile page after some seconds. I'm using CB profiles so this is not correct behaviour for this matter. I would like to have the destination page to be the actual forum instead.

Thank you in advance.

Clearly anyone using IE should be shot [;-)]

No seriously - I'll need to check that out when I am at a windows box... there will be some missing full stop that windows is too stupid to deal with
