:: Who is Andy?

I have 5.39 set up here .

I have some major changes to postings.cgi and ubblibrary2.pl as you will see in the posts.

i think Mark has some pretty old versions on his HDD still...

------------------

Yup. I beleive the earliest version I have is 3.04.

Wish I had a 2.x somewhere, but alas I don't.



[edit, to anticpate the questions that usually come after this thread starts: No I won't email anyone a copy, and no I won't set one up for everyone to see ]

I have UBB 3.0



But 3.0 doesn't work longer because of Y2K issue.

I have 3.04 (marks version) and 4.0 something..

I bet Ted has oldest version somewhere around his office.

------------------

I was hoping to see the very FIRST version of it. Come on surely someone has a real real real early copy.

hehe

There was a thread, probably 8 or 9 months ago on SK, and someone located a copy of 1.x somewhere on one of the IP servers.

Here's that thread:

Unfortunately, the links to the 1.0 version that were found seem to have now been disconnected. There is, however, a screenshot that Ted posted from a 2.x version. My age shows when I see that 2.x and say "yep...that's when I first saw UBB..."

Also, for those of you that like seeing pics, there's an old picture of Ted & Rosemary in that thread that someone found

I also like nostalgy

hehe! freeware DOODADS!

DOODADS? LOL, what was Ted thinking?!

------------------

The DOODAD thing cracks me up. For a little while I put the "Another freeware DOODAD" in the rewrite of the guestbook, but I removed it cuz the footer was too big.

The "Nice try Paco" cracks me up too but you can't see that one. That was an error message in 1.x and maybe 2.x

found a working version 2 on that thread.

Really old UBB

I have a working copy of 3.0. It wasn't too hard to get it working with Y2K. I have some older UBB zips... My curent public UBB installation is 5.38, with the required security patches, which is a direct upgrade from 5.20.

CC- do you mind telling me what file you needed to edit in 3.0 to get around the Y2k bug?

That makes me think... I made an Infopop cursor last month, thats it!

------------------

Pretty much every file.

The pre-5.10 UBBs use the ####-####-####-####.m format files.

One of those (the 2nd?) is the month and 2 digit date. The perl date routines are Current-1900. 2000 is 100. Thus a date would be FIVE, not four digits. Thus all the pattern matching (which is done via substrings, not regexes) is totally screwed up. YOu have to fix those.
