I personally don't think it is such a good idea to have....

Powered by UBB.threads™ 7.5.6p2 at the page footer.

I feel it is a kind of announcement to the hacking community - telling them where you're at (or not) security wise.
(Google is a hackers friend!)
(Just Google... "Powered by UBB.threads™ 7.5.6p1")


I believe Powered by UBB.threads™ would suffice.

I mean, if you need to know your version number, just take a look in the admin CP.

Thoughts?

Good point - I was only thinking in terms of Google, but of course you are correct.

Still, there is no reason why the issue couldn't be fairly easily addressed in an upgrade.

I never saw the point, from a security aspect, of boldly presenting to everyone what version we're running; when the CP shows it fine for those who need to see it...
