UBB.Developers Forums Announcements Announcements Version 6.5 changelog and admin area screen images posted

Jason, the welcome email has been updated with the newletter information. Good catch. Thanks.


Josh, you changed the thread title on the front page by quoting 113546 instead of 113554

I understand the reasons behind it, with documentation and all, but from the email last week I was under the impression it would be out this week. We are waiting until 6.5 to get several bug fixes and mods installed on our forums that will take professional help. It's all on hold now. Not bitching or rushing, just have others involved in my project asking when we are going to do it.

Thanks

Um...........6.5 will be released on.......

Hey, I've been to Dothan, AL!

Damn Adult ADD.....

Last time I asked when, I almost got flammed. I hope you have better luck.

I was able to hack into the Infopop servers and get this official release date timeline.

I've been to dothan AL as well.

We're working up the release announcement, documentation page for UBB.Central, version notes, documentation review, etc. If we get it all done today 6.5 will be out today, if not then Monday I guess. I'm hoping for today.

I am hoping for Monday

Party!!


Is it sad that I am very excited by this release?!

Not really, it's a very anticipated upgrade

Please today.... give's me an excuse not to go to the gym

we are talking about public beta right?

as every movie depicting Alabama would lead you to believe we all talk like.

We are most widely known for the following things:
1. The Peanut Capital of the World
2. The Condom Capital of the World. (Had four plants at one time, pre NAFTA)
3. That place that everyone stops to eat and get gas on the way to Panama City.

The ubb.threads to vB3 importer is now available. Hurry hup

hmmm. all I get is a poll results page and some discussion about it. no dl there?

No, the Importer is for registered members only and can't be dl.

Currently the only official importer is for UBBThreads 5.4 (formerly wwwthreads).

Jelsoft told me that the new importer works with 6.4

Who would want to move to VB3?! That's like giving up Windows XP for Windows 3.1

ho-hum

Half my members They like the new glossy look - and the sub-forums.

I try and stick up for threads - but as one bright spark pointed out to me - if Infopop do not even promote it as a main product on their home page, then why should we use it - I think he thinks that it is going to be phased out - so we ought to jump ship now

Still hopefully the beta will be out today

what site you run Ian?

http://www.nonleague.com

cool!
Looks like quite a modified sidebar hack you got there!
who you hosting it with just outta interest? intrested to know if you went with a uk company or elsewhere?

Yep - the sidebar changes depending upon the team you select when you join - or alter via 'My Home' - also the top will also change depending upon your team (limited number). So fans of Hornchurch will see a different site to those of Canvey Island.

A company called firsthosting - http://www.firsthosting.co.uk - ought to mention that I own the company

lol, I suppose that does help!

I've had lots of people say infopop doesn't have Threads on their main page, but they split everything out to use it's own products for support at customer request.

At www.infopop.com - in the center, about halfway down:

[]
Downloadable Message Boards at UBBCentral
Check out the new home for the downloadables, UBBClassic and UBBthreads, at UBBCentral.com. There you'll find everything about the UBB boards.[/]

Click the link, and it'll take you to the right site for threads - www.ubbcentral.com

Josh, that's true but "Downloadable Message Boards at UBBCentral" seems to me "Don't bother us anymore with .Threads, now we have a new better product here, but if you still whant it look att UBBCentral...".

yeah they are hawking their EVE product line. I don;t see anything wrong with showcasing your future line but threads is still probably their bread and butter.

I realise it is there - this user was just pointing out that they no longer activly promote it from their home page - so in HIS eyes that means that IP are winding it down - and that we should not be investing time in a dying product.

I disagree (plus I still have 2 years left on my licence) - so have no plans to switch to VB3

I just want 6.5, so that I can hack it to bits

Ok, it's time to get a grip on reality here, then I'm going to close this thread.

You folks ask for the downloadable boards, product and support, to be split off of the Infopop customer support. Our customers. You asked, that's why we did it.

Though .threads is our lowest performing product in terms of unit volume or sales we belive in it strongly, and in Rick. Some product has to be the lower one if you only have 3 or 4 products Threads isn't going away any time soon, and neither is .classic. So, we listened to what was asked of us and we gave them thier own website.

And now some of the exact same names and faces that were beating us for having one board and one support site are doing the same because we split them. Discouraging.

And since we've long since strayed form the original intent of this thread I'll close it

I just saw at ubbcentral Beta 1 is ready and in the download area.

We'll have an official announcement here later - but wanted to give everyone so anxious a heads up.
