Version 6.5 is coming along. We thought we would post some screen shots of the new new control panel for people to see the progress. The control panel has some similarities with the UBB.classic control panel, and folks used to the .classic panel will feel right at home with the .threads panel. Folks that have only used the .threads control panel should find this really easy to use, with common tasks made far simpler and important features easier to find.
Here are some screen shots of various pages in the new control panel. All images will open a new window with the image full sized. Some or all of these pages will be changed or reworked before release.
Main panel[]https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/uploads/0_splash.png" width="300[/]Intro page to the control panel. Easy navigation links on the left, status and statistics right in front of you, close at hand.
Style Sheet Editor[]https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/uploads/1_class_descriptions.png" width="300[/]The style sheet editor now has a glossary that tells you what each class is. There is also a preview window (not seen on this screen shot) that allows you to view your changes, after you have made them.
