UBB.threads version 6.2.1 has been released to the Member Area.

UBB.threadsâ„¢ 6.2.1 is a minor maintenance release that contains the following fixes for problems reported since version 6.2 was released.

Fixed a typo in cron/php/subscriptions.php

Fixed a bug with the showstats screen not showing reply privileges for groups.
Fixed a bug with the search engine and moved topics when a stub has been left.

Added the Signature seperation line to the preview post screen.
Fixed a bug with the mess_handler.php not using the html class at the proper point.
Fixed a regular expression bug with the jumper.php script.
Fixed a bug with sticky posts not showing under certain settings.
Fixed a bug that keeping old accounts with unverified emails from being deleted.
Went back to a simple regex for email addresses since we now have the new email verification option.
Fixed a couple cosmetic template bugs.
Fixed an intermittent bug with the showmembers.php script.
Fixed a bug with the image markup tag and editing.
Fixed a bug with favorite forums not always showing properly.
Fixed a problem that was allowing blank posts.
Broke the altertable-6.1-6.2.php script into more steps to help prevent timeouts on large boards.
Removed a css class that was causing some browsers to render the quote tag incorectly.

To upgrade from version 6.2:
Overwrite your existing files with the files listed in CHANGEDFILES.txt or you can do a full upgrade by overwriting all files except for main.inc.php, config.inc.php and theme.inc.php.
Running the config editor in the admin section will update your version number.
There are no altertables to run.

If you are upgrading from a version older than version 6.2, please read the UPGRADING.html. Scroll down until you see your current version listed, then follow the instructions from that version and up.

If you have any custom stylesheets, you can remove the following CSS class from them, which will make the quote function look better:

blockquote br { font-size:1px }

Just to make sure: All Bugs marked as "FIXED" or "FIXED IN NEXT RELEASE" has been fixed, all others are not?

Correct. Anything marked as FIXED or FIXED IN NEXT RELEASE is in 6.2.1. There were enough bugs fixed at this point that we needed to get an update out to at least fix the majority of the problems reported at this point.

I think there is a bug in the altertable-6.1-6.2.php script. On line 116-120 and 155-159, they read
$query = "DELETE FROM AddressBook
WHERE Add_Owner='0'
";
$sth = $dbh -> do_query($query);

when I think they should read
$query = "DELETE FROM {$config['tbprefix']}AddressBook
WHERE Add_Owner='0'
";
$dbh -> do_query($query);

First the table prefix isn't being used which is the obvious mistake. However, when the table prefix is added the resource being returned to $sth is not needed and will instead cause the while loop above to now have a different resource and thus give you another new error.

I closed the board, copied all the files as show in the changed files text, run edit config settings, updated config.inc.php but the system still shows v6.2 What did I do wrong?

What version does it say in the editconfig.php file?

Are you sure you uploaded and then edited your config settings?

Is your config.inc.php file writable?

The editconfig.php file is what updates the version number.

Alot of people are having this problem... it's in the bugs forum. But I'll put it here so everyone knows to do it.

You need to make a slight change in adduser.php or else some people won't be able to register:

In adduser.php

Line 173 is this:

if (!eregi("(.*?)@(.*?)\.(.*?)", $Email)) {


It should be this:

if (!preg_match('/(.*?)@(.*?)\.(.*?)/', $Email)) {


(Kudos goes to Dave_L for that fix <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

Thanx Josh, editconfig.php was missed in favor of doeditconfig.php. Ooppss...

I also changed the code in adduser.php

After reading through the boards I think I can see 6.2.2 coming down the road shortly <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
