ok..
with the test file.. this is the output..

UBB.classic Accelerator Test
Your PHP version is 4.2.2: OK
Your PHP version has zlib: Yes
Your PHP version has the md5() function: Yes
UBB.classic Accelerator should have no issues under this version of PHP. zlib compression is installed and will be used.

The file is most definately there.. because - sometimes it works!! Sometimes - at random - it does not! I get a code page. On top of that.. the other links using the ultimatebb.php file work - only the direct link does not from within the forums...

now.. i seem to only get these problems when I'm logged in... could this be an issue where i have to move the Members directory into my ubb(noncgi) directory?

If you click that - it may work.. it may not.. but i'll guarantee that it's there..
