UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads Version 7/8 Support Upgrade to version 8.0 fails

as an admin user, looking at "Cookies" from the profile menu, this is what the corrupted "ubbt_admin" cache cookie looks like


this is what a non-corrupted "ubbt_admin" cache cookie looks like


the corrupted cookie occurs in prior versions of UBB.threads when manually approving users. this bug has been fixed in UBB.threads 8. but the result of having a corrupted cookie in UBB.threads 8.0.0 is that the control panel dashboard (only the dashboard) is either displayed as a blank page or returns a php error. the corrupted "ubbt_admin" cookie can be cleared manually by clearing your cookies for your forum's domain.

in UBB.threads 8.0.1, this process is automatically done for you when the cookie is corrupted and cannot be read correctly.
