UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Logging back into Board Admin

I'm a new webmaster for a website running UBB.threads, so am still getting acquainted with the UBB software.

The site was using UBB.threads 6.5.4, but we are now upgrading to 7.1.1.

I installed 7.1.1, closed down the 6.5 forum while I imported from it, but now want to log back into the 6.5 admin control panel.

How do I do that? I keep getting a screen such as visitors would see, that say the forums are closed for maintenance and there is no place to log in.

Thanks for your help!

Try a direct link :: ubbthreads.php?ubb=login

Thanks ... that just took me back to the same screen as I mentioned before, that says: "The board is currently closed while we perform some routine maintenance."

Any other ideas?

Actually, I just figured it out. I changed the setting in config.inc.php file from 'isclosed' to 'isopen' and was able to get back in.

I changed the cookie prefix for the new forum in config.inc.php, so now I'm able to be logged into both admin control panels at the same time.

Good thinking

I sleep in too late; otherwise i'd have been of help :x...
