UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat UBB6 Hack Listing

I guess I'll throw mine into the ring as well:

• Return of the Blue Arrow (Javascript version)
• Originating timestamp in thread listing
• XHTML Transitional 1.0 compliant replacement front end templates (including CSS hooks)

None of my hacks will be released before UBB6 leaves Beta. I highly advise my fellow hackers to follow this lead.

Each Beta has had extensive code changes. I antipate that either Beta 7 or 8 will be the one released on the public, and there will be at least two betas before the final beta is declared stable. Attempting to perform extensive code modifications on beta software is never wise, especially when the idea of a public beta is to help get the bugs squished, not introduce new ones via code hacks.

This voluntary "off limits" hacking time will also allow the code hacking community to preview and adapt to the extensive changes that UBB6 will make to everything we know.

Look forward to an article about this very soon after public beta.

I would also HIGHLY advise users of hacked boards NOT to upgrade to UBB6 until we can develop a script that will prevent UBB6 from clobering additional member profile and thread fields. You could be looking at a MAJOR loss of data if you upgrade to a beta from a hacked board.

I'm *VERY* serious about that... Right now, the upgrade process is *NOT* hack friendly.

And, of course, on the 31st, I'll be re-launching Flare , my UBB... you'll want to see what these templates are capable of, after all.
