As I remember correctly it declines all users in the registration que

Thanks for posting, JAISP.

But i can not find the 'Decline All' icon. I'm guessing that this a feature not on UBB 6.2.0 rather it became available on 6.5 or some other version.

(hence another reason to update )

I'm running 6.7.2 Classic version. I'm not quite sure without installing your version under a test run to see what exactly you have in your control panel at this point.

If I get a chance this week I will do just that to see what I can do to help you.

Wow! That would be very generous of you!

I'm considering the fact that the forum's owner (it's attached to a business) paid a good chunk of change to a computer tech who, in the end, didn't really accomplish anything. (the tech did do other stuff for the business but didn't do beans for the forum) Heck if you're willing to have a look for free that'd be great!

If you're willing to help i'll let u know that, at this point, i might consider asking the owner to upgrade if

1 the cost is reasonable

2 the upgrade could be completed by a volunteer like myself without hiring a tech

3 there would not be any risk in having the entire forum crash if someone like myself attempted the upgrage in a DIY style

Again, i thank you for taking an interest in our situation!

(it appears as though the previous 'upgrade' to our forum was more of a 'bridge' to another expensive software that was a costly flop (i was not involved, i don't really know). if there are less costly alternatives i might suggest them (while also suggesting that forum members like myself chip in))

At $99, the upgrade price would be pretty painless, especially in the face of the other option being deleting page by page

As an aside, if you are basically deleting all registrations since a particular date, just open the 3 files that contain that info (memberlist.cgi, emailsomething, etc.) and delete from there down. The delete all user files that match that info. I'd tell you specifically which files to edit but those scripts are at home on my backup drives. If you're still fishing around I'll know more late tonight (have a trash the dress session with 2 brides between now and sundown ).

Of course, make a backup before beginning

Ok, I found 6.1 and 6.3 but not 6.2 in this mess.

Allen I think the cost of $99 may be more then they have at this point. I know your a moderator here and all that and all you mods always just blurt out upgrade upgrade blah blah blah and so on but hey, not everyone has the money or are able to do that on a whim all the time. Like most government and rich folks it appears that you guys think everyone has lots of money laying around and its like nothing to just "upgrade".

Anyway, I will try to help this person even if I have to get in there and do it my self manually to help them for FREE.

I'd just like to say for the record, us "mods" are just beta testers, we do not work for Groupee. We are standard users of this script solution, we don't get paid for this and we still buy our licenses just like everyone else.

We simply say to upgrade as they bring features and bug fixes to older releases that others often request...

I understand that but some users are strapped or on a strict budget. It is to often the first thing is "upgrade" when the user may not be able to. If the user wanted to just upgrade in most cases they wouldn't ask some of the things they ask or state certain things.

Thanks very much to Gizmo, JAISP & Allen for taking interest in my situation. You're all being a great help.



Actually we've had a decent number of members over the years. And i believe that 99 dollars would be doable. I'd simply make a post asking that we all chip in. It's merely a matter of how long it would take to raise the $$$. (probably not long)

I mentioned before that the previous attempt at an 'upgrade' was a flop (and probably a flop that cost much more than $99). It might be that the owner simply isn't aware of the inexpensive options available. And originally wasn't aware that 6.2.0 would be difficult to work with.

So in summary, let me say that i'm willing to consider either of the two options:

1) raising 99 dollars for an upgrade

OR

2) working with UBB 6.2.0
