UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Advice Needed Please

I have previously read that a hack is available to add a views category to my UBB Classic forums. I plan to have you folks install it for me so I may use this with the latest forum version which I will upgrade to shortly. My question is about how stable and reliable is this hack? I have read where Infopop moderators have explained why it is not included with the classic forums. And, while I really don’t understand what they are explaining, I do believe them. I have run my forums for 4 years trouble free and would hate to include a hack that could cause some problems since I would not know how to fix it. I really would like to have this views feature because it is important to the marketing of my web site. I would appreciate your advice.

Thanks

Well it depends in your host as to how much strain this hack will place, and which version of UBB.Classic we're talking about... I believe LK mentioned that some of his ealier versions of the hit-hack for earlier UBB.classic versions are less efficent than the current version (ver 2.0). Best way to find out is to install the hack but make backups of the files you have to edit.

If you notice that your UBB is acting slower than before then you can decide whether to un-install the hack. From my experience ver 2.0 seems very stable, works fine and hasn't added any noticable speed loss .
