Merry Christmas! [Smile]


Version 6.2 has been released to the Member Area.

UBB.threads™ 6.2 is a major release version that adds the following new features:

  • Added in an option for users to change their display names if the admin allows it. This can be set to immediate change, or a queue where all changes must be approved by an administrator.
  • Added in an option to mark all posts as read.
  • Added in a config option that requires users to verify their email before their account is activated. If used with user registration approval, admins will get notification of the new user after their email is verified. Accounts that do not have their email verified within 24 hours will be deleted.
  • Added a config option to turn user ratings on and off.
  • Changed the front page to show the subject of the last post along with who posted it for each forum.
  • Changed the way new posts are flagged on the postlist screen. Instead of using 2 different colored icons, it now uses a different colored table cell for the new post along with bolding of the line. This makes it so admins can upload new post icons of any color.
  • Added in a new option to log all mysql errors along with the time,script and username to daily files. Thanks to Dave_L.
  • Added in an option to log any activity in the admin section that actually changes something. Also a script for admins to view these logs. Thanks to Gardener.
  • Reworked favorite forums. These will no longer display in the "My home" area. Instead there will be a toggle on the main forum listing page that will allow users to display all forums or only their favorite forums.
  • Added a reply with quote option.
  • Added a new option when moving a thread to leave a pointer at the old location of the thread.
  • Added an option to add a thread to your favorites when posting or replying.
  • Made the Favorite thread and Reminders links into toggles. This means clicking once will add the thread/post to your favorites/reminders. Clicking again will remove it.
  • Updated all of the templates to be valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Thanks JustDave.
  • Updated all of the stylesheets to be valid CSS-2. Thanks JustDave.
  • Added a new CSS stylesheet "GreenDay" by JustDave.

Rick's entire change log for version 6.2 is posted at http://community.infopop.net/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=729094322&f=3133094913&m=6633052386

Some important notes:

If you are upgrading to version 6.2 from an older version please be sure to read UPGRADING.html in your .zip file.

The importer from UBB.classic to UBB.threads has also been updated. Be sure that you download a new importer if you happen to have an older version laying around [Smile] Importers for the 6.1 series will not work for 6.2.

All of the templates have been updated, be sure to upload them.
All of the scripts have been changed/modified as have the cron scripts. Be sure to upload them too [Smile]

All of the style sheets have been updated. If you are using unmodified style sheets just upload the new style sheets over your originals. If you have edited your style sheets and don't want to overwrite them please see the UPGRADING.html file, it contains a list of the new classes.


Notes on the importer:

Log in names are mostly kept as original now. Spaces are no longer converted to underscores.
Public names are no longer converted to log in names. That is no longer necessary with UBB.threads 6.2.
Usernumbers are not carried over. MySQL's auto increment function precludes this ability. It cannot skip numbers as UBB.classic's file system can.
Email ban lists, banned IP addresses and Reserved Name list are now imported.


Lastly, but not least, I'd like to thank all of the UBB.threads beta testers that have worked so hard all year long to make UBB.threads a success. Thanks guys! [Big Grin]

I'm currently running 6.2 br2. My question is, do I still have to upload ALL the changed files or are there certain ones that can be skipped?

Thanks.

I don't think they put together an official list of changed files between beta versions.

If you have something like Beyond Compare, it'll tell you which files are different. Otherwise, to be sure, you best upload them all.
