I need to post a link to a hidden part of a forum on a UBB, how do I stop the url showing in the top and bottom address bars? Basically I am wanting to have a member only access without 'guests' being able to rip off the free giveaways without registering.
 
Hi,

For not showing URL's in the top-bar, use frames; for not showing url's in bottombar you could use something like this:

<body onLoad=&quot;window.status=' ';return true;&quot;>

and when using links:

<a href=&quot;freegiveaway.htm&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;window.status=' '; return true;&quot;onMouseOut=&quot;window.status=' '; return true;&quot;>free giveaway</a>

This is an easy way to not show the URLs in the top and bottombar, but with some knowledge of html the 'guest' can still see de link in the sourcecode. And when you can read really quick, the link is still visable in the bottombar when opening the page.

I don't know another way in simple html.
