Hi all, just a brief follow up.

I was able to fix the account by following the steps above. I did not have to replace the file in the member list or the email list, though.

Thanks for your help everyone!

What is 7.1? I thought 6.7.3 was THE last version of UBB Classic, end of discussion. I would love to upgrade as this version has more bugs than any version I've had in the past, except for some of the early 4.xx versions.

I have thought about going to UBB Threads, but it would pretty much mean starting from scratch. On a site with 6,000 users and many customizations made over it’s 8 year run, to me it’s just too much work to start over again.

7.1 is the replacement for UBB Classic. Whilst it is still called threads it is really a replacement for both.

I would strongly recommend upgrading as official support for classic has ceased as it is now EOL.

UBB.threads 7.x is the replacement for both UBB.Classic and UBB.threads, which are both now EOL. UBB.Threads7 is basically a complete rewrite of all basecode.

As a strong advocate of UBB.Classic, even I love UBB.threads and woudln't even think of going back, and I was with classic since as long as i can remember...

You can import your old data to threads, so it's not really starting from scratch ;)... And if you don't feel comfortable about doing the upgrade/import yourself, you could always hire someone (ahem, me, ahem) to do it for you.

The import doesn't affect your old files, so if you import and decide you don't like it you can still use your old forum.

exactly ;)...
