UBB.threads 6.3 is a major release that adds the following new features, including:
  • Moved all text in the administration into language files.
  • All language files are now editable through the admin section.

  • Added an option to the mass mailer to send out emails one at a time on servers where Bcc mailing does not work.
  • Added in the last poster for each thread when viewing the postlist screen.
  • Added a modification of JustDave's "My Cookies" modification, with a template file, which allows users to delete all cookies from a UBB.threads site.
  • Modified the banuser function so a user cannot login at all when they are banned.
