Yeah, they can create accounts, but I have to manually approve them to post and have ANY forum rights.. This current software doesn't have enough anti-bot protection..
I've been looking into the latest UBB, and when I have time and learn all aspects of it--make sure it'll import everything, then I'll upgrade
. I'm moving the server HD to an NVME drive too, so loading speed will be massively faster.
It'll also work and look perfect with mobile phones (layout). It costs more-the new version is so new, I'd have to pay full price--which is fine. Just that the back pain has been getting worse more days than not, but I do have blocks of time where its better and I try to get everything crammed into those days/weeks!!
