  • UBB_JS/BOXOVER.JS- In UBBT 7.5.8, the script title and original author's name was removed; this information has now been restored in 7.5.9.
  • STYLES/ADMIN.css- Cleaned up. From 11,448 bytes to 11,244 bytes
  • STYLES/COMMON.css- Cleaned up and compressed. From 1,423 to 1,259 bytes. This file is called with every page that is viewed on your forums. The smaller it is, the better.
  • [MULTIPLE]INDEX.html- In previous builds this was a ZERO-BYTE empty file. The problems with that were that some FTP programs didn't know how to transfer these files. Also, some overzealous "System Cleaners" would delete these files. This has been solved by adding content to them. They are now a basic page that when viewed, forwards to the root of the domain.
  • [MULTIPLE]LANGUAGES, TEMPLATES- This update also introduces necessary changes for moving forward to full utf-8 character encoding support. Having iso-8859-1 (or a random) character encoding style may leave your site open to XSS attacks.
