I have a copy of YaBB running on my machine, and untill I can get my friends server up to snuff, the script runs on my machine.
I've tried spoofing the url by using a frameset, unfortunately though, when you log into YaBB and click on somthing else you have to log in again.
Another friend told me that this is caused by Internet Explorers security mesures. Now Almost everyone with a windows box used IE.
What should I do? What is the most efective way of spoofing the URL to YaBB? Should I just forget spoofing to YaBB all together?
thanks,

uhhh "spoofing"? I believe the term you are looking for is masking. You wish to mask the url so that people cannot see your ip I guess? So they do not have to type http://127.0.0.1 when they go to your site (*note: I put in localhost because I do not know your network's ip)? Why not just get some free remote dynamic dns from a place like www.no-ip.com or pay 5 bucks and get a .com or something from a place like www.godaddy.com ?

I guess masking is a better term.
I already have a DNS that I can use - the reason I want to "mask" is so that it looks like YaBB is running on my friends machine, 'till I get it set up right.
My problem being: I'm maksing through frames. However IE seems to have a problem with the fact that YaBB is on a different machine - somthing to do with "privacy policy" The cookies that store login information are not working because of this, and I was wondering if there was some way of masking that would work with YaBB

The only other way to hide the url from users is by using default file types... which will be ineffective in your situation. I am thinking yabb must use a session based login system, if you just set your own cookie (this would mean diving into the code...) it might work.

diving into the code... sounds fun.
I've already modded the script, so i'll have a go at that.
I'm just not knowledgealbe 'bout web-development stuff. programming is no big problem for me.
