UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support What CHMOD setting for root ubbthreads folder

My old ubb.classic had a Spam break in. I suspect it was through my lack of diligence on chmod. So I upgraded to ubbthreads.

So I followed directions to the letter this time. But it does not specify root folder (ubbthreads) chmod setting for the root directory.

Also how does it store and pass database account and password. I want to make sure I'm secure on database as well
