We've just released UBB.threads version 7.1 to the Members Area. You can find the full release notes here. Some of the more notable changes for this version include:

  • The Who's Online screen will now designate which guest users are search engine spiders, as well as showing the referer (which is how a guest got to your site).
  • Custom User Titles, as well as a control panel option to designate which groups of users can change their custom title.
  • Better performance by changing 2 of the tables to a HEAP table, so they reside in memory instead of being written to disk.
  • Option to have multiple language with the user being able to choose what language they want to use for their default display.
  • Option to show the total # of new topics and replies on the main page and when browing an individual forum.
  • User selectable "moods" so users can designate their current mood while online.
  • Online Status indicators next to each user's posts, that shows if they are currently online/offline as well as their current mood.
  • Sort order options at the bottom of each forum to designate how a forum is sorted.
  • When moving a post, there is now an option to leave a pointer to the new post that will expire after a certain number of days.
  • Admin option to ban users for a certain period of time, ranging from 1 day to 2 years, as well as the standard permanent ban.
  • New CAPTCHA feature that can be used for new registrations as well as guest posting. Note: You will need either ImageMagick 6 or GD2 with TrueType support in order to use this feature.
