quote:Originally posted by Brad.loo: First of all instead of improving ubb infopop has released two products. ubb.t which was just w3t with infopop's name on it. And ubb.x which is ubb with a database BUT you cant download it. Now from what I've seen here at ubbdev ip hosting isn't that good and its WAY overpriced. Do you think we (users of ubb.classic) are to stupid to run a forum with a database back end or something? if no then why not give us what we have been SCREAMING for over a year now?.
Your posting makes no sense and will probably be the reason the thread is closed
UBB.Classic has seen major improvements in each version since 6.0 and will into the foreseeable future. The interface continues to improve over an already industry-leading standard it set years ago. There's still a huge market out there for message boards that are "newbie-friendly". You might have been on the net 6 months or more, but most people have never visited a message board and just don't know how to "work one". There's still hosts that don't support mysql databases. Many more reasons why a great message board with simple flat files will be useful and needed into any time in the future.
threads is not just w3t with IP's name on it now. the support rick has with threads has allowed rick to make huge leaps in functionality, speed, and interface design in the last few months... v6.3 - v6.4 will be the one to watch for as the v6 series begins to mature.
ubb.x is open topic (not ubb.classic) with a mysql database and actually an excellent choice for a message board if you don't plan to tinker with it much.
As I see the eejits who run "web hosting companies" increase daily, IP's hosting is looking better and better. For just one example I am very famliar with, check this thread:
Donate to UBBDev today to help aid in Operational, Server and Script Maintenance, and Development costs.
Please also see our parent organization VNC Web Services if you're in the need of a new UBB.threads Install or Upgrade, Site/Server Migrations, or Security and Coding Services.
