Umm..I don't think the script will be upgraded since it's a v5 Hack and coders aren't working on v5 hacks.

nevermind I figured out the problem finally.
In the line:
$ubb_path = '<path>';

I had the full directory path and it wasnt working.
I changed it to the path relative to the cgi script ( ./ ) and it worked

What file was that in? Was it functions.pl or UbbpollSetup? Maybe i should redocument this hack with all the fixes etc. so it makes installing it much easier...

What would be nice is the ability to edit the .data and .comment files on the fly to remove nasty comments and wrong votes.

Also, where in the script does it CHMOD those file extensions? I have trouble editing then uploading the files via FTP. It's a permissions problem according to my host.

I did everything the mod said to do
Everything works great, except linking it to the ultimate.cgi
This is the error message I get

I have problems with the way the poll handles the answer, comments and question strings. You are not able to use special characters like ' " @ # because it will crash the poll. Also if you accidently add one extra space after a question when making the poll the answer will not be counted.

It has given me lots of troubles... This, and the fileright problems where NBAustin is talking about. I have people using bad comments as well and this has resulted in complete deletion of the poll - there's no other way to remove it
