UBB 6.1.0 Beta was released to the member's area. Go get it now!!!

Got mine!

Another note, they tried to hide it. Its about halfway down the page.

Got mine. You beat my post by a minute.

I've gotta love that cable connection tonight!

Travis -hiding it- It is under the Beta Software heading which has been in that spot since I added it .... about last January if I remember right.

Travis, but I still won. My post was at 9:15 over in the Beta Watch topic. lol

Here is CC after the release:

Yeah but I was watching where you had:

UBB™ Members Only Subscription Area
Newest Version: 6.05

I just seemed to accidently run across it.

Chuck1616: My post and Tech-Ni-Kal's posts were both at 9:14...

I got mine...

Charles, you look so relieved...

Skorp, as I said in my other post - you won,

Anyways, I thought that was a nice pic - I wonder if he gets overtime? lol

btw UBBDev is late, even later than me. Which is very bad....

Nope, I didn't win either, Chuck. Tech-Ni-Kal won... Sad for me and you, good for him.

(Oh well, I've got Oreos downstairs, so I'll just go get some of those since I didn't win my cookie! )

---Skorpion

*phew* finally fixed one problem, now off to the next....

What kind of problems?

When I ran Rebuild Forum Stat Files, it kept saying something about invalid A line. But I fixed all that.

He'll be stressed when he starts on 6.2.

you can only add 25 more smilies ... I guess this should probably be an easy hack to fix the limit huh? Maybe I can look into doing this and it would be my first hack ...

I know it sounds kinda crazy, but I've got way more smilies than that on my board,... my people love 'em

Hahahaha!

About the A line thing folks... that is the update process finding all those hidden corrupted threads that used to be living in your UBB. Usually you will want to delete them. Gotta get all those old messy files out.

Uh, I just added 32 smilies w/o hacking anything? What's the point in saying you can only have 25 in the instructions.. I know after a while, too many looks a little off, but like I said, my people enjoy having new gramelins to play with ... i know have I guess 43 including the stock ubb ones...

I'm curious how you guys are going to upgrade. Do you plan on doing a clean install in a new directory then importing the messages in?

Do you plan on upgrading your current setup and praying you won't have to go back. What about all the debris of the hacks you have installed. do you just go through and weed them out?

Do you start in a new directory and play with it for a while before opening it up to your users?

Just curious since this is the first time I've done a major upgrade like this.

I just overwrote my old UBB 6.04f files

Travis it looks like a lot of your hacks remained intact. Did you rehack them or did the new files leave them untouched?

the only hack i saw (at a quick glance) was the moderator drop down hack... anywho.. to do the full upgrade to 6.1 just upload your files in the upgrade package to the correct directories. Then just follow the readme included in the files. This will basically overwrite all your UBB files that make it run, but you will no importing messages or anything of that nature, that doesn't even get touched. You just need to rebuild forum stat files and such... option under maintenance......... real simple to upgrade... took me about 2 minutes...

I see avatars, glowing names and some mods to the structure of the tables.

I put them back in. I plan on doing more, but Im pretty tired (from hitting the f5 button ;)) to do any more tonight. Oh yeah, I didn't install the avatar hack over again, I just accidently added that part back in the public_topic_page.pl. I'll get rid of it tomorrow.

It's nice to see the new version isn't so different that you have to wait for all new hacks. I'm eager to switch. Maybe I'll decide tomorrow.

I'm just upgrading it as a test board then when I have it hacked I'll transfer the files onto the main forum so they can still use the other forum with hacks too.

I actually adding this on REALLY easily. You can email me and I will show you how.

i heard there was a mess up in the code and you could add more then 25 smilies, i think they forgot a = somewere

arghhh

Tech-> I made a post regarding this issue here:

In any case, if they "fix" it to where you can't add more than 25, I'll get with you on your offer .. Actually I love DPK's version compared to this one.. the part that really sucks with the stock version, is that you have to add your smilies one at a time.. now THAT sucked last night .. especially on a test board u won't really use

anime-> that was me u heard it from
