Nearly half the code has been touched and changed, and ALL of the code has been reformatted & indented (perltidy is your friend). The various programs and systems out there that do automated hacking will NOT be able to apply 6.0x hacks to the 6.1.x series boards. Nearly all (> 95%) of all board I/O is now handled by a set of common subroutines, including seperate routines for thread data and member data. Basically, if you've done some hacking for the 6.0x series, you will need to start fresh with the 6.1.x series. Including the templates. Note, BTW... The official version scheme is "6.1.0", *NOT* "6.10". UBB.classic: Love it or hate it, it was mine.

Is it now feasable to turn the cache off on decent sized boards without trashing the server? Second question: Does the "Upgrade Button" still work on boards that have been hacked/modified?

You know better! The cache is now more crucial than ever! It's built smarter and faster, and there's more that's cached. Turning off the cache is still the quickest way to kill your server. *L* The upgrade button won't do anything to most hacks. Basically, instead of uploading files, doing a really big procedure of submitting screens and changing settings, you now simply upload the files, hit the upgrade button, and it does everything for you. (Actually, that's not true - the initial 6.0x -> 6.1.0 upgrade requires a forum stat files & member post history rebuild - those can't be triggered using the Upgrade Button) It'll even update your Wordlet™ lists for you! No more overwriting your changes! UBB.classic: Love it or hate it, it was mine.

Heh, I was thinking the Upgrade Button actually, like, downloaded the files and installed them for you. That would be kinda nifty, but it would trash too many hacks, so I like your version much better. Looks like it's back to the drawing board for YourStyle, though, since the cache is so important. ---Skorpion Don't put that signature in your mouth! You don't know where it's been!

The polls will probably resemble the way OpenTopic does them, although since we have had them in OpenTopic for a while we have identified some changes we wish to make to them. Telekinesis, I am sorry that you feel that way however I would be remiss in my duties if I did not see to it that we continually develop the UBB and release updates, bug fixes, security patches, et al. whenever necessary. We are still a far cry from the old days when it was normal to have releases once a week or more. [ July 20, 2001 10:42 PM: Message edited by: navaho ] Picture perfect penmanship here.

(Though the code itself hasn't changed that incredibly much, BeyondCompare isn't smart enough to figure that out - nothing is... :)) And I would advise going to 6.1.0 about a week after it's out so that any issues that may pop up can be corrected... We aren't anticipating showstopper bugs, but there will surely be lots of little nitpick bugs to fix. UBB.classic: Love it or hate it, it was mine.

When it is released in about two month, this will be exacly the time when I am at the current status : Added around 15 hacks in ubb and edited many templates in 6.04c, upgrading to 6.1, hacking again... upgrading when finished, hacking again... phoooooo. I don´t think 6.04c has so much errors that I will upgrade in two weeks, my license will last for 8 month, so it´s no problem waiting a little bit longer. But by the way : Reducing traffic is one of the best arguments to upgrade, I already own the biggest package which my hoster is offering and I am on my way to break his limits :-) Dennis Regards Dennis Bode ----------------------------- Webmaster of Hardwareluxx.com

The only exception is if you have modifications installed that added profile fields (as in the calendar and "last post in profile"), you have some work to do there - Allen - What Drives You?

Should I then go to 6.1 or wait for the 6.2 beta (which will have Who's Online in it)? My ultimate goal is to have loggable chats soon w/o reapplying too many times.
