UBB Classic v6.4 was released on Dec 25th, and I'm going to do the upgrade in the next few days or a week.

UBB.classic™ 6.4 is a Major release that adds the following new features:

*Content Islands that allow you to feature your board's content on the rest of your site. The Content Islands also support RSS news feeds.

*A searchable Community Directory.

*The ability for an Admin to view the board when it is turned off.

*Simplified Upgrade procedures. The "Upgrade Button" will now run any necessary maintanance procedures for you.

*Today's Active Topics is now a rolling 24 hour period rather then rolling over at midnight every night. Great if you have users in more than one time zone.

*User passwords in the uber cookie are now MD5 hashes.

*Time based edit options. Allows users to only edit their posts within an admin settable time frame after posting.

*Time based "edit by" options. Admins can set when the "edited by" message should appear, if at all.

*Toggle for last post column (and contents) in forum summary.

*Toggle for last post column (and contents) in topic list.

*Forum summmary last post now links to the actual post.

*"Re: " is now added before replies to topics in forum summary.

*Forum name in title tag in topic list has been added.

*Added label tags & some CSS magic to forms in the control panel for greater usability & accessability.

And more!! Stay tuned!!!!

CSS = Cascading Style Sheets. Slightly more "advanced", "complex" HTML, realy. </font>
