Well...I did it...I actually created a test copy of UBB on my server WITHOUT destroying my original forums! WOOT WOOT! Once I get the hang of it...I'll update my active forums! Being able to have a test UBB is simply WONDERFUL...now I have something to trash without getting spammed with e-mail! Nothing exciting on the test forums yet. Test forums: http://gaming.dimhorizon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi Active forums: http://www.dimhorizon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi *chuckles* Now...I can start to edit the test forums! I've ALWAYS wanted to do this! YIPPEEE! (Guess you can tell I'm a bit excited eh?)

Congrats.  Test forums are great! If you've got Windows 2000, you can run one on your own computer, too. That's what I do... It's great when you can hack to your heart's content without having to upload every file every time you change it. The only problem with that, is sometimes it's kinda a PITA when you do get around to uploading and you accidentally forget a file and you sit there for twenty minutes scratching your head wondering why you keep getting the stupid 500 ISE's...  ---Skorpion

Well...two good things happened today! Not only did I get my test ubb working, but I've also managed to install the who's online! Too fun! I'm amazed at editing just those few lines created such a nifty change in the forums! Thanks for such a great hack! *humbled* Test UBB Dim Horizon Forums [ July 13, 2001 08:21 PM: Message edited by: Arianna ]

Yeah some people I see are on some old versions of 6 still, Not everyone upgrades when a new version comes out.

I know the frustration...that's why I waited as long as I did to upgrade. Though...lol I didn't hear about 6.1 till well after I made the decision to renew my license and install from 6.02 to 6.05! *chuckles*
Oh well...I really hope they slow down on putting out upgrades. It can be mind-boggling having to dink with the forums all the time! I'd just like to sit back and let them grow a bit...and do some serious web design!

You have a good point there, Some people upgrade every time a new version comes out and some don't and just upgrade when big changes have happened in between the versions.
