Nice one Chris Yep, it's time to upgrade, there's been many improvements in the code since then...

2allen, i'm just afraid to kick over the truly nice look&feel with an upgrade: main thing would probably be including the background-gfx again but maybe this should be easy to do. also including dpks smiley-hack is really important, so, well, i just wait to get in touch with our sysadmin to start the upgrade *g* - he's too lazy but the only guy who's able to .tar/.zip the complete bbs for safety reasons before upgrading... any ideas how to improve the look&feel of my site with 6.5? no, i do not like to include a chat, but .. any suggestions *G* ?

hmmmm.... there's already many of the modifications you've added in the base code already The look and feel has been refined quite a bit since your version. Adding your graphics back, maybe the quick reply and calendar, and you'd be set... at least for now

Here's a nice one:

Heh infopop should make ubb.classic with an integer to use sql or flat files, then they can work for everyone ... becides, with SQL you can just do so much more concerning integration...

I've been saying this for 2 and a half years but the official word is that it will never happen. UBB Threads is not a valid option for me since it IS NOT UBB! I guess I'll have to keep UBB since my wife loves Netwerkin but my second UBB license is sitting idle.

heh, i'd love to see it so that there were 2 db options, it'd change so much, and make everything easier to use.

It would be wonderful.

Mine is pretty big, not huge though. Probably the smallest of those listed on this thread, actually.

around 14,000 members, around half million posts, and 200+ daily active topics


Now if you want to see a HUGE message board...well then look here: http://boards.theforce.net/ It isn't a UBB, but it's ginormous. 12 million posts, 115,000 members, 5000 active daily topics, 250 forums.

nice one bryan

if it were my choice, we would have moved up to threads (or at least upgraded to v6) months/years ago.

however, despite my protests, wb looks to be heading in the direction of converting all their forums to wb-created boards.

hopefully, thats preventable (i can only imagine receiving 25,000 emails from people asking me why they have to reregister)<hr /></blockquote>it was not preventable

I have a pretty large forum, at:

http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

I thought mine was fairly large lol... We now have 2000 members (1000 in 2 months due to the spider mod)! It should go up more due to spidering being default in the UBB now ...

the spider mod was a huge help for me as well

hmmm.. ok - big-boards.com is helping me out with this:

http://www.big-boards.com/index.php?type=Infopop

Hey allen, we recoded boards.php

really? How so?

It now works with 6.6+ lol... Reads most URL types; not half bad. Since not a piece of it is Micah's code we didn't put his copyright back on, but the url's are basically the same as the original... Check ugn's lol... http://www.undergroundnews.com/boards/ although we can't figure out how to make the cookies work right for the post indicators, but the rest is all good :x

hmm.. mine still works for 6.7, tho I see an occasional error in my site's error logs:

http://www.praisecafe.org/boards/ubb-get_topic-f-9-t-000248.html

Couldn't get mine to work at all; always just spit out errors... We recoded it a bit, even changed the .htaccess lines to get it all working nicely with eachother lol...

Definatly good, especially without having to advertise it
