But how???
I am currently running a site with this very old version of UBB with about 15 users and 20.000 posts.
I don´t know HOW to upgrade this board into something remotely modern.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me lay out the path to a modern board?
Thank you
Jakob

It's actually pretty simple, just takes time. You probably need to renew your member area access/download privileges, but when you do you'll have access to ubb.classic 6.7.3 - follow the upgrade instructions and in a couple hours you'll be running the most recent version of your software. After that it will take a few more hours to install ubb.threads and import everything (except styles) into it. That's it in a very small nutshell, but it's doable. If you'd rather someone do it for you, open a support ticket here or I am available for reasonable rates

My license is very old, from 2000.
Is it still upgradeable, or should I buy the complete new license?
What kind of cost scenario am I looking at?
Cheers
Jakob

I upgraded mine from 99; they're still upgradeable. You'd be looking at the member area renewal cost, of $125.
If you're looking at having someone upgrade your forums for you, it'd vary from person to person (as in from having groupee (rick) do it, Allen, or myself)

Just to clarify, I have 6.04f so I will need to upgrade that to ubb.classic 6.7.3 and then up to ubb.threads 7.2.2?
Thanks

Yes, so long as it's classic you're currently running that is the correct path.
