Your permissions were "lost" (different user) when moving the directories from your old server to your new Windows server.

Take a look at the other WWW files/directories outside of your forums directory. When doing a fresh install of UBB.threads, those are the same permissions given, since it technically was "the server doing the install." These are the same ownership permissions you want to give to the "new" files you've just added.

The permission needs to be given to the directory. The config.ini.php file is not actually not "changed."
But instead, UBB.threads creates a new one with each settings change. Then it overwrites the old file with the new file.
So the folder's read/write permission needs to be set.
