There are SO many neat features that php vbulletin and other forum software apps offer that it's a wonder ubb is still in bidness ... I must be dumb for continuing to use ubb, too.
The email reply feature is so basic and REQUIRED that ubb should be admonished for not having it included in v5 let alone, what, v6.6? And I'll be damned if I'll spend another $100 to go further than v6.4 ... time to move to php, methinks.
Just venting ... there, I feel better already. Not.
