UBB 6 Very Soon?? - UBB.Developers

UBB.Dev

Infopops Member Area just went down, and according to Infopop they said parts of the site may go down when the release of UBB 6 is coming in the next 30 mins. Does this mean UBB 6 will be out soon? Hopefully! [Linked Image]

Yeah, I just tried to access the members area to DL v6 also. Oh well. We've waited this long...another couple of hours should be a cake walk. The official release date is today (I think), so I'm sure they'll have the members area open soon. I imagine their server will see a huge spike once the members area opens again. [Linked Image]

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

Yeah i have been sitting in the Members Area all day just so i would have a good chance at getting a copy on my slow connection [Linked Image]

I can only hope...

*Visual InterDev, BulletProof FTP loaded*
*UBBDev, Scriptkeeper Forums, Infopop Members area loaded in neatly placed windows.. Constantly refreshing*
*Case of Jolt Cola and assorted Drakes snacks neatly arranged*

Yes, I probably should get out more.. But I don't care.. I want my UBB6! ;p

*patiently waits*

You guys aren't famliar with the way they work - every thousand hits they get an hour, they raise v6's price another $10.

Right now I'd say Ted is a very wealthy man. [Linked Image]

Well heres the latest:

The last set of UBB6 release zips apparently changed hands awhile ago -- Dave is smiling.
We've had an unrelated hold-up [unrelated to UBB6 that is] Late this afternoon the MySQL database we use for the members area buckled and we lost some time making sure things were OK. And yes, the irony of MySQL locking up under load while UBB6 chugged on was not lost on any of us here

We ARE going to make that deadline ...

posted on 11:41pm?

...so... they got 19 minutes?

again, i wouldnt be pissed if they delayed the release... but... i think they should just post something on the download page, just to let people know we'll havta wait just a lil more.

regardless.... here's hopin the 19 minute theory works out, anyway [Linked Image]

People, CALM DOWN.

It's 9:12 PM, Pacific Time. The Scriptkeeper forums are on Eastern time. That message by Michael was an hour ago.

There are three hours left today.

Those of you *****ing and whining and moaning about how it's not out yet need to STOP.

Liam: "...The only part I can't get to work is the actual equation: Poisson(X) = (A^X x e^-A)/X!"
Tim: "You've a mathematical function named w/ the French word for fish?"
-- as overheard on Flare.

take it easy man..

as previously stated...twice... its not the delay i mind. i understand a whole buncha work goes into the whole thing. and, believe you me, im thankful and respectful for it!

but, no one set the dead line for'em (get it?! forum!? ...see... doh...), they set it themselves. and, just as easily, they could fix it, update it -- all they havta do is say something. and, sure, they dont have to, but... it IS a service i pay for, and honestly, i just think it'd be nice of'em to lemme know if its worth waiting up for tonight, or if i should check back in a few days or so

and bottom line... i mean, c'mon, man, i'm anxious! [Linked Image]

MichaelF said they will make the deadline, so they will. Just calm down. It's only 9:30 here on the Pacific coast. They've got two and a half hours. It's just database problems on the InfoPop site, unrelated to the UBB6.

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

everyone knows this by now.

well, its 3:45 am here in Brasil, so bye folks, happy whatever we doing here.

(and yes, i misunderstood some gmt's earlier. is it my fault? no. is it anyones fault? no. did i bother someone? sue me. and get some good mood for a change.)

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

sleepless

I have been around prof. software people and they take this stuff real serious and actually have dry runs on duplicate servers. so the wait with info pop is pretty much normal. Believe me you would rather wait than get screwed up files

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

ill agree on that!

Hi PD--
The scoop is this: UBB6 has actually been ready since this afternoon, but we want to make sure we have the proper supporting info on our website. Our web team has worked very hard to get things ready, but it just took a little longer than expected.

And yes, Infopop is still "open"... we will have UBB6 available today!

I do find one thing amazing... the private messages still work, without the additional coding in the ubb files... I find that amazing! We actually did create a standalone script! One of our remaining goals!

Alan that pl we was working on this morning works great if you update general settings after running the deletehacklists.pl and the fromline16 It cleans it up nice I have searched my files and cant find anything got to thank cc for that

We are close!!!! Notice all the hacks gone on UBBDEV!!! I just did the same thing to my board.

Man thers going to be havac here tomorrow theres alot of people around info pops boards that are thinking they can upgrade from 547 to 6.0 with a fully hacked board Im getting tired of telling them there using Info POp quotes that yes you can update from 547 to 6.0 they are not refering to hacked boards at Info pop with added profiles

There's a good chance it will update modified forums, I was just plying it safe...

actually... confused. the wording of the "upgrade from 5" help file is messin with my head.

step 2 says to upload the variable files.

right after step 3, there's a note telling me not to.

txt is contrdicting do we upload varibles or not when we update from 547d Setup is looking for a file thats in the varibles folder

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

Come on somebody Im setting in the middle of install

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

Upload your variable files to your ubb cgi directory, upload all cgi-bin files/folders to your ubb cgi directory. You don't have to upload the Members folder. Upload all files/folders in the noncgi folder to your ubb non-cgi directory.

set permissions like it says in the instructions.

If you are upgrading a 5 series forum, run the ubb_upgrade.cgi file after uploading everything.

------------------
Allen

- http://www.stand318.com

Note to anyone who cares... our test forum was a fairly heavily modified 5.47d with ~50 modifications on it. It upgraded without a hitch in a matter of seconds to the new version. So, you really don't need to start with a fresh set of un-modified files... your extra profile fields are another thing.

------------------
Allen

- http://www.stand318.com

There was an error in the upgrade doc. the correction has been posted on the SK bug forum and the zips corrected. Yes, do upload the variables files if you are upgrading from 5 to 6.

Sorry guys! [Linked Image]

yo

sorry for my behavior earlier, for anyone that matters. lets download this script.
