Would be interesting to see UBB to use plugins where you run a config script and just add what you want. An example of what I am saying is done by SqirrelMail. Download your plugin into a directory, run the config, select the module and your all set.
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.
