UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 5 Support Various Questions on UBB

Hi !!! I am a potential purchaser of UBB for my web site... so I would like some clarifications from you guys...

i) What the best platform to install UBB on?

ii) Do you recommend a good and fast Web Hosting Service on which UBB would work without problems?

iii) Can UBB split into frames? I mean the threads to appear in one frame and when you select the desired thread, the messages of the this thread to appear in another frame?

iv) Is there a backup facility on UBB so that in case of disaster, I could have a set of backups with all the data and configuration of my forums that I can restore within a few minutes/hours?

thank you in advance

UNIX systems are generally the best system to run perl scripts IMHO.

On your second question, isn't that the case with any website stuff, get the best performing server? I've seen UBB's run well on free web hosts, so most paid hosts will run them just fine.

On the frame issue, somone else will have to answer that. I just know its not a built-in feature and would probably require some heavy script modifications to get it to work that way.

Currently there is no automatic backup component of UBB. Right now you either rely on your web host making periodic backups or you backup your site yourself via FTP. I would say to restore a backup would generally require about an hour max.
