UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat Sneak Peek at 6.1.0 Features

What you have never seen a vb even by accident? RTFQ

Couldn't help yourself, could you Dave?

Let me answer the question though.

Have I ever even seen one? Sure. Did I bother to look at or study it? No. I prefer to pay more attention to what I am doing.

Whats the problem with them?

Anyway, why are you people thinking about 6.2 that has to be months away before it's release 6.1 is our main target, but if 6.2 is gonna have a few hacks as standard UBB thats good news.

Ok.

Another question, I don't know if anybody here knows about this or not, but I thought it would be worth a shot. Would the polls in version 6.2 be optional in each forum? Would they be optional to just turn off on the whole board?

Thanks,
~IA

I'm 100% confident that they can be turned off... as we don't quite know how they'll be done, whether they'll be in each forum or not to begin with is yet to be determined.

Just a little logic here... if everyone waits a week to upgrade (which obviously won't happen, but for argument's sake...), how will you know about the bugs? Since no one will be using it yet...

hehehehehehe

I sure do hope the release of 6.1 comes out soon (today? ;)) ... I've deliberately held off adding hacks to my board because I understood that I'd have to rehack so much with the upgrade.

From what I understand, too, this release of 6.1 means that there could still be problems, correct? Well, you know the saying, "No guts, no glory."

Thats why they have the beta versions of 6.1 so they can get rid of most of the bugs as possible.

I'm glad 6.1.0 is release next month.

great when sometiome the 6.2.0 comes out is my update licence runnig out and i´m can give infopop more $$

Are you serious? You don't ever check out your competiton?

Wow, if my company (or any) did business like that...well, we/they would probably be out of business.

We (rather intentionally) try not to examine our competition to death... Yeah, of course we've seen vB, but we aren't going to try and concentrate so hard on what they're doing that we loose track of what WE'RE doing in the first place...

I know it's off the subject, but since it was discussed I'd love to see 6.2 have polls optional in each forum.. kinda like (the crappy) ezboard.. only feature i miss off of it

when you upgrade to 6.1.0 would it be better just to start from scratch and save your members and forum directories IF you have tons of hacks installed, or will the hacks not screw up the upgrade?

Just upload the files in the zip, your present hacks will overwrite the currently installed ones and not matter. 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

And if I'm at 5.39 (with customized registration that has to be stripped) -- can I go straight to 6.1.0 or do I need to go to 6.0X first?

You can go to 6.1 without problems :)I did

blaab
how come when i Check for current Version it responds
Current UBB Version:

605


Is it suposed to show me 6.1.0 or what?

no, It shows you the last non beta version and at this time its still 6.05

As soon as 6.1.3 beta comes out, I want to add the Who's Online & Chat mods. 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.
