What password algorithm does UBB use?

How does ubb store passwords?
Can anyone answer that?

I just thought perhaps this is not something to reveal in public!
Anyway thank you for the feedback Gizmo.

It's ultimately public information; the passwords are stored as an unsalted MD5 hash in your _USERS table in the MySQL database; unsalted meaning that extra data hasn't been added to the password as it's parsed to the MD5 function in PHP.
