Antony, this topic contains some info on the new product: https://www.ubbcentral.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/2/2548.html

Feel free to ask questions there, or find the counterpart topic here. I think there's one somewhere.

SDMUG... I understand how annoyed you are at the state of 6.5 and 6.5.1, and I assure you that we're just as annoyed. I think I've said that before, actually. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> No, we will not be releasing a "1.0" that contains known bugs that can be fixed.

However, you must understand that all software has bugs, and sometimes no matter how much testing is done, some bugs go undetected.

For example, the other week I fixed a bug in UBB.classic that has been in the code for over three and a half years. The code had really actually never even worked, but the conditions that would cause it to run were never right. It's a bit of repair code to make sure that the Forum#/private- directories are in a sane state during an upgrade. Finally, one customer's site was so utterly screwed up that the code finally ran and ended up doing something completely nutty.

When we released 6.5, we believed the bugs to be fixed. The internal testing group was reporting no new issues, and the issues reported here were marked fixed.

Your point has been made, and you can stop beating the dead horse. Thank you.
