Hi,

I switched from UBB.classic to UBB.threads 6.2.1 and I have some questions. Hopefully you can help me.

1) The title of the forum overview is always:
'viewing lists of forums-. Where can I change this?
I think you can change this in the online.php language file. OR you can edit/hardcode a title (like your site name) in the ubbt_header.tmpl file.

2) In the old UBB classic I used it was possible to protect a forum with a password so that only visitors who knew it came in.
Within threads I don't see such a function.
Background is that I am offering internal forums which can be accessed with a pwd but which users I don't know.
No you can create forums that only certain groups can gain access to. You have to add them to the group, then only those groups will see the forum. Other users won't even know they are there.

3) I can create Groups in the Control Panel but not delete them. How can I do so?
Currently not a function... you can rename them.... etc... and unused groups are not harmful. You can delete them with an SQL query, but you must make sure there are no users in the group, or else you will have problems.

4) How must the cronjob look like that all 2 hours checks the forum abo stuff?
Don't understand the question.

5) Default for all new users is that they start in their personal menu. I want to change this that all new users start at the forum overview by default. Where can I do so?
Users choose this option in the display preferences of 'My Home'

6) My forum should show 20 threads per page but its only showing 10 per page. I can fill in whatever I want in the admin menu, its always showing 10 ;-(
Editing the theme file will only affect users who aren't logged in and New users from that point forward. Existing users (including yourself) will need to edit this setting in the display prefs of their 'My Home' page. These are user specific settings, not site wide.

7) Is there a more detailed list for editing the css files? at the moment I am changing a value and then I take a look what changed on the board. This try and error method is more than stupid isn't it? *hrhr*
JustDave is working on a new map that will be released soon. It'll be posted soon in the Stylesheet forum at Threadsdev.com

8) I want to give the menu a background image in my css. Can I do so and when yes, how?
That would be the .menubar class in the CSS files. Change it from a background color, to a background image. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
