We are now running UBB 6.1.0.2. Here's what Infopop has to say about this version (I've highlighted some items that may interest you):
UBB™ 6.1 is a major upgrade that encompasses many new features and enhancements, including:
Optional UBB™ Accelerator for enhanced efficiency & speed. Custom user titles (admin definable). Greatly enhanced control panel member management & search features – search for members by an almost infinite combination of queries. Custom Graemlins (up to 25). New Wordlet™ upgrade & management tool – now you no longer need to overwrite custom Wordlet text during upgrades. Entire file locking scheme changed to prevent corruption issues; depending upon server or load, some boards may appear to react more slowly because the various processes are being properly queued. Improved upgrade tool; allows admin to simply upload an upgrade zip and click the button to complete an upgrade. Ability to post without cookies (some functions still require). Control panel ban list feature now has "reverse ban" option (IP or email). Admin logging shows history of admin activities. Private messages outbox, including ability to see whether message has been read yet. Improved control panel entry area, with expanded hit counter and quick links to resources. “Update post indicators” link added to user profiles. Added dozens of other minor enhancements.
They've also changed the login scheme. I know at least two users who were previously unable to use the boards ( :( ) Hopefully this has been fixed. I see it's now possible to login without cookies (in limited capacity) so at least minimal functionality should exist now for everyone.
You'll no doubt notice that many of our "customizations" are currently missing, but hopefully we'll be back to normal soon. Thanks for your patience!
