Changelog 2016-07-10
• Forum Help - Fixed the expandy DIV naming to "expheader" as the previous expandy div was just "header". This had potential to be confused with common site div class names.
• Forum Help - The category header and description has now been split in to two separate sections. This allows the forum owners to update their "Forum Help description to as long or short as they choose.
• UBB.threads Styles - Classic styles are getting a much needed "this decade" update!
• Styles - All Styles have been tweaked once again.
• Calendar - Updated the display of the calendar feature to make it useful again.

Another mostly style-cleanup related updated coming down the pipeline.

Changelog 2016-07-17
• Style Editor - .pagination was added as a new group which can be styled. Pagination box, Page text, Current page, Current page number.
• Style Editor - The Style Preview frame has been updated for pagination section, along with a few minor corrections in other places.
• Styles - All of the included styles have been updated once again.
• Styles - Each of the classic styles have been brought up to modern design. Dont worry, only the missing elements since 2016 have been added, and the spacing/padding zones have been corrected. If you're using one of the old styles on your site, replace it with the one from 76x.
• Showflat - Fixed a blank line that would show at the bottom of each post when a guest user was viewing showflat on a mobile device.
• Showflat - The link to the current post has been moved the the PostIcon to the #PostNumber.
• form-button - The buttons above posts are now styled correctly. Longstanding 75x display issue: Fixed!
• ShowProfile - Moved the social networking icons under the user profile picture so there is more space at the top to add additional user-profile information (first name, age, birthday, average number of posts per day...etc). This also allows the user to have multiple badges displayed on the float-right column (Ruben has multiple badges on CENTRAL). In addition to all this, the page looks a bit cleaner on mobile devices.
• several other script fixes and layout corrections.

----------
----------

Changelog 2016-07-24
• This update was extremely time-consuming, with almost a total rewrite of the showflat and its post side/top templates. The display may look the same, but the HTML behind it has had a complete overhaul. Its been tested on full width and mobile, logged in and guest, and in the PM/PT pages.
• QuickReply - QR has been cleaned up and is more of a *quick* reply now. Everything should be working as expected.
• Thread Navigation - This button group has been rewritten and moved to the top of the post page. The intent of making this section more visible, is to hopefully get more page views and interaction by your guest users. Some users like to bounce back and forth between the post list, while many other users like to read forums/social media like "books" or email. They want to dive in to a position and just read "forward." Moving the Thread Navigation buttons to this location should help improve their experience. In addition, this new location should also help to entice users coming from search engines, to browse additional topics on your forum.
• Member Profile - Locations are now converted in to Google Maps searches, just like on the post/message pages.
• Member Location - These links next to the member post/messages/profile pages are now url encoded (Smarty escaped).
• Breadcrumb Bar - Font Awesome is now used here as the divider.
• Additional IP address proxy detection.
• Coppa Form - This page has been rewritten to be more user-friendly; on screen and in printed form.
• All Edit/Reply/Quote links are now working on the post and message side, top, and mobile pages.
• All post links are also now working as expected.
• "Use Full Editor" button is now fully working on all pages that make use of it.
• Lots of template clean up.

Changelog 2016-08-08
• Style Editor now tells you if items in your Extra Properties may override the Standard Style properties above it. If any items are found, a notice is shown with the CSS class name. This notice is very basic and does not check against the extended a:hover/link/visited...etc classes. Just the main class items.

Changelog 2016-08-16
• Forums List (mobile layout) now shows all information. Special attention to detail was placed on that "Teaser Forum" / "Private Topic" bits.
• Post List (mobile layout) also got further attention. For about a week, we were using a single column for displaying both replies and views. This has now been reverted back to two columns. It just looks cleaner by adding that bit of visual space to break up the bulky columns. We're also able to restore all of the column sorters, without using a complicated user interface that would have been needed if the columns remained merged.
• Forum List & Post List -Both pages are now fully mobile-friendly and display all of their important information on mobile-sized screens.
• Forum List & Post List -Fixed a few other rare display related issues issues.

The common.css received a lot more attention to fix lots of cross-browser quirks.
• Firefox will now display a broken-image icon if an image is missing.
• iOS will now display your buttons as you've designed them, rather than how Apple wants them to be displayed.
• Android 4.0 will now display the audio player controls for inlined media.
• Buttons that are disabled will no longer display a pointer when moused-over.
• Lists within posts are now indented correctly. Your external use of lists is unaffected.
• Fieldset boxes were cleaned up, and now have the same presentation across all current major browsers.
• BBcode for php, sql, html, css code no longer has additional padding at the top and bottom of their code boxes.
• Additional CSS was added to handle future implementation of mobile-views for the user My Stuff (Settings) pages.

Changelog 2016-08-22
• File Manager -Image attachments are now displayed in the order which they were uploaded. Fixed wink Thanks Mark_S!
• File Manager -This page now displays its contents right up to the margin limits and with 0px padding. This should help displaying on mobile screens. In addition to the next item in this changelog, ".t_inner,.t_outer{margin:0;}" was hard-coded in to the file manager, to assist in the display of this page on sites which are using complex custom styles.
• Styles -The default styles were updated once again. For each, "ubb_popup_body" was updated to "margin:0;padding:4px;"
• File Manager -The [Remove] button has been replaced with a FA icon. This gives more room for the file name to be shown.
• File Manager -Hovering over the file name will display the File Caption, if one was entered.
• /ubb_js/responsive-switch.min.js -This file can be deleted. Its no longer needed.
• Footer -Replaced the Mobile/Desktop script with "Show/Hide columns on this page" link. The link only displays if your website utilizes either or both columns. When clicked, the left and right columns are toggled between shown or hidden. Hidden by default on smaller screens -- toggling it will allow all the content in your columns to be shown. Columns are shown by default on desktops, it will allow members to take cleaner screenshots or printouts or just have more reading real-estate. If you are using ads in your left/right columns, a user can hide that column if they choose. The column is only hidden for that single page view. It is displayed on desktop again if they refresh or travel to a new page. The opposite is true for your mobile users. This feature was added to compliment the current User Preferences (in the My Stuff menu) and Site Settings (In Control Panel > Portal Settings) of displaying columns. These features work well as is, and remain unchanged.
• Search -When "Show a preview of post body with results" is checked, in addition to highlighting your search terms in the result, the length has once again been boosted to 800chars. This should make finding what you're looking for easier, and it should also resolve some of the closing DIVs of most quoted posts.
• Fixed this missing-string typo. Thanks VaGunTrader for reporting it! And Thanks James Corthell for locating and fixing it!

Changelog 2016-08-24
• ShowProfile -Now displays a calculated "Posts Per Day."
• ShowProfile -Fixed the Group Images (Profile Badges) display when a user has more than one Group Image.
• ShowProfile -The User Rating drop-down section is now hidden from unregistered users. Registered users cannot rate themselves, so no rating options will be shown while viewing their own profiles either.
• ShowProfile -User Rating drop-down lists now defaults to a blank rating when nothing is selected. It previously defaulted to just "1 Star." This drop-down list is also now sorted in a natural descending order.

The Member Rating selector is found right under the "About" section, as floating options, just as the buttons above the signature line does. The Total Rating given by the public, is displayed in the top-right of the "Profile for Member #" bar. All ratings are in graphical stars now. And the hover-over tells how many public rates were given to get that total star-score.

The Member Profile page has been greatly improved from 7.5.x series. It's packed full of information, and I believe it is not too busy to be overwhelming.

• Control Panel > Permission Checks -This page now alphabetically sorts the initial directories. Directories with a single index.html file within them, are interpreted correctly. The report for each directory has a cleaner presentation by including column headers and bolding the "Directory Check" item. Note: The sorting of the file listing within each directory check may seem like its displayed within no particular order. This sequence is actually based on file placement on your server's drive.

Huge thanks to Dave Walters for catching these and reporting them!

Changelog 2016-08-31
• Templates -Corrected HTML validation notices in several templates.
• Style Editor -Added .announce and .sticky post row styles to the Style Editor. The Extras-Check has also been updated to watch for these items if you already have them in your custom style.
• Forum Help (FAQ) -Fixed the expandys.
• .major-button -Added a ".major-button" class to the posts/messages pages -- all the forms that involved POSTS got it. Forum admins can use this new class as a way of grabbing their user's attention to primary "submit post" buttons.
Using it is completely optional. If you do choose to use it, all you need to do is add a custom color and background (ex: "background:#cc3333;color:#ffffff;") to your style within the Style Editor.

Basically it will just make the "Post" button a different color, so it will stand out against whatever other buttons are on that page. It does not need to be stylized at all. But if you want it, its there to work with.

This new CSS class has been added to the following templates: mess_handler, newpost, newreply, notifymod, postlist, quickreply, sendprivate, showflat, viewmessage.

Changelog 2016-09-02
• Style Editor -The post navigation buttons can now be styled interdependently of the other buttons.
• Style Editor -Added entries for the newly added ".major-button" and the ".post-nav" styles.
• Style Editor -Option has been added for customizing buttons when they are hovered over. This affects the ".form-button" and ".post-buttons"
• Style Editor -Stock items found within the Extras section are now listed next to their proper section name.
• Style Editor -The detection routine has been updated with the recent style additions. The detection routine has also been further optimized.
• Style Editor -General Properties section is now more useful when you have left or right columns enabled. You can use the preview to assist in configuring your forum body column to preview that everything lines up and is presented as desired.
• Island-Calendar -Fixed the display of the day's initials on the Calendar Island when also viewing the main Calendar page. There was a long-standing bug from 7.5 series where languages/general used the same strings as /languages/calendar, thus, the calendar.php strings would display on the column islands instead of their intended general.php language strings. Big thanks to Dave Walters for reporting this!

NOTE: Styles have been updated once again, to include the new styles in to their proper locations. For easier updates of your custom styles, I recommend at least just importing (using the Style Editor) the "ubbcentral.txt" style from the most current snapshot you're installing, and using that as a reference for any new style updates that are mentioned. You can rename the style from the "Name, Images & Wrapper" properties section before pressing that "Update or Add Style" button at the bottom of the page.

https://www.ubbdev.com/forums/ubbth...ds-7-6-0-progress-report-2016-09-02.html

---


If needed, here is a simple template to help style your post-navigation buttons for your custom styles.

.post-nav
background: #fafafa;
border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc;
box-shadow: inset 0 -6px 8px -7px #e0e0e0;
color:#000000;
font-size:14px;
margin-right:2px;
padding:8px;

.post-nav:hover
background:#FFFFFF;
color:#000000;

Changelog 2016-09-04
• Style Editor -Removed .post_top_link customization class, since it is no longer needed. Thanks to James Corthell for reporting this!
• MemberSearch -Fixed searching when member display names contained special characters. Thanks to Dave Walters for reporting this!
• Admin -This one was a huge update! The Admin section was visually scrutinized for things that looked out of place. Every single page was updated. 99% of all inlined HTML has been converted to CSS. The CSS has been sorted and optimized -- the archive size is actually smaller, because of it.
• Styles -All the styles received some further updates. For each, the buttons are now pretty, even in the markup editor. Lots of updates even to the UBBCentral Style. (OT: Lime is now my current favorite.)

Happy Labor Day, everyone!

• Admin.css -Updated the buttons. Removed all the random shadows, and set a lower button height (40px => 30px), while increasing their width (10px => 16px). I believe that this looks better on all Control Panel ages and is easier to tap on for touch screens. TO DO: The button hover-over color still needs to be updated to give it a border when hovered upon.

Changelog 2016-11-02
scripts/online.php, templates/online.tpl -Rewrote much of the Who's Online template.
• It now supports IPv6 and is mobile-friendly.
• The list of Search Spiders is only displayed to users who have "View IP Addresses" privileges.
• Users must be logged in to Registered User account to see the "Last Activity" time/date columns.
• Added a jump-list to the top for each of the WOL sections.
• Added IPv6 support. The following code has been merged to the upgrader scripts. Beta testers: To upgrade your databases manually, run the following code from your Control Panel > Database Tools | SQL Command window:
Code
ALTER TABLE ubbt_ONLINE
CHANGE ONLINE_USER_IP ONLINE_USER_IP VARCHAR(46)

• Added IPv4 and IPv6 address lookup links.
• Added an INFO column within the Anonymous Guests section.

Click on the " I " icon to view that web page.
• Also within the Anonymous Guests INFO section, the referrals from the top 14 search engines (as of 2016Q4) will now be displayed. If a user was referred from an image search, the referral name will be listed in bold text.
• Added an INFO column within the Search Spiders section. If you've imported a list of spiders to your your forums (Control Panel > Display Settings > Primary | Who's Online Settings, Search Engine Agents), the spider will be listed here. You can Hover your mouse over the " I " icon and view information regarding that spider's User Agent Strings (UAS). Click on the " I " icon to search google for their full UAS. The name of the spider is also shown next to the " I " icon. Click the name to lookup that BOT on Google search.
• The Location column has been condensed and is now less-redundant.

Changelog 2016-11-04
The Attachment Manager received another interface upgrade.
• filemanager -Reduced the steps required to attach a file. Instead of clicking a system OS "Browse" button and then an "Upload File" button, the end user now only needs to click on your forum's custom styled "Select A File To Attach" button.
• filemanager -If no files are attached, a "Cancel" button is displayed. If one or more files are attached, a "Done" button is displayed.
• filemanager -The maximum file size and maximum number of allowed attachments is now more clear.
• filemanager -The current number of files the user has already attached is now displayed.
• filemanager -If a file has a caption, it will clearly be displayed in the list, right under the file.
• filemanager -File captions were previously truncated to just 255 characters, giving the end user no indication that they exceeded that limit. Now the File Caption box will stop allowing entry once the 255 character threshold has been met.

Changelog 2016-11-05
• printthread -Fixed a bug where inlined images were being called from a hard-coded URL, rather than what your forum settings was configured to.
edit: Being completely thorough on this one. Originally for 760, I had hard-coded for UBB.threads 6.x forum upgraders, assuming they always used a new attachments directory for their UBB.threads 7.x install. Since this was not always the case, it remained a trivial bit of coding since all of UBB.threads 7.x. This has since been corrected in version UBB.threads 7.6.
** If you upgraded from UBB.threads 6.x and used a new attachments directory for your UBB.threads 7.x install, you need to manually edit your printthread.inc.php script to represent your UBB.threads 6.x (versions prior to July 20, 2006) attachments directory. The current setting is "/ubbthreads/attach/". Read the directions in the file and toggle the commented sections.
** If you had upgraded from UBB.threads 6.x and kept the same attachments directory, you can keep the file as is. Nothing further needs to be done.

• filemanager -The Attachment Manager now displays a thumbnail of the attached file if it is an image. If the attached file is not an image, the file type will be displayed. This update replaces the "cryptic" FILE_ID number column.

Changelog 2016-12-11
• mailer -Patched a potential security issue regarding attached files/images.
• mailer -Attachments are now listed by their file name, and are listed in chronological order.
• mailer -Removed inlined image attachments, since the email recipient may not have access to the images in certain scenarios (ie; Email this thread). All attachments now go through the internal UBB.threads attachment manager. This rule now allows the attachment's download counter to update with each legitimate attachment download.
• User Editor -Rearranged this section to match its counterpart in the user-side "Edit Profile" and "Preferences" pages. The items are now sorted and placed within the correct sections. They also now use the same terminology.
• User Editor -If you've setup "Custom Fields," they will be displayed only if the user has any data entered within those fields. The information will be preceded by a "Custom 1:", "Custom 2:"...etc, to "Custom 5:"
• Registration Settings -All items now use the same terminology as the User Editor and Preference pages on Member and Admin sections.
• User Editor -Fixed a longstanding UBB.threads 7.5.x bug of when a user is edited, their setting for "Primate Message Email Notifications" would be turned off.
• User Editor -All Email settings are now displayed within the User Editor. An admin can toggle these on/off without needing to use the "Become User" tool.
• preferences -Moved all Email settings to a single page within the "Email and Private Message Preferences" section. Turning off all emails from the forum can now easily be done, and instructions to the end user dont need to list multiple pages and multiple sections. The Yes/No for each of these options are now also in the correct order.
• showflat -Spoilers are now displayed as a single clickable button (instead of a BBCode box) which will expend to show the hidden text.
• activetopics,searchresults,mail -Spoiler items are now displayed as just text, "[HIDDEN SPOILER CONTENT]". This resolves the obvious issue of javascript not being available/called in email readers. This also solves spoilers from inadvertently being displayed within searches and active topics lists.

Control Panel - Updates to the presentation of file sizes and time durations. These areas also have an improved description for their expected entry.
• Forum/Group Permissions - File attachment/gallery image size entry now gives additional information about the "size" that its expecting for input. Max upload size from your php.ini is also now displayed. Entry can be either in byte format, or in shorthand format, such as "2M" for two megabytes (2097152 bytes).
• Other settings pages which request a file size entry, now intend for the entry to be in multiples of megabytes. You can use decimal places for smaller sizes.
• Settings pages which request a duration setting, are now in multiples of minutes, rather than seconds. Example/hints are now displayed along with a improved entry field note.

Changelog 2017-01-12 --SECURITY BULLETIN--
• PHPMailer -Updated PHPMailer library from 5.2.21 to version 5.2.22
1) https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/master/SECURITY.md
2) https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2017-5223


To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to be able to pass user input to a message’s “from” address. UBB.threads is not affected by this issue since email is only ever sent from the configured Forum Email Address and does not allow for user input to be set elsewhere.

In addition, the send-to addresses are always checked that sendmail path exists and validated as correct email format, as well as being escaped, prior to being stored in the database or passed on to PHPMailer. Emailing a post/message goes through several steps of validation prior to being sent, and will not be passed to PHPMailer if the validation does not pass.

NOTES: All versions of the third-party PHPMailer library distributed with UBB.threads versions within the 7.5.x series and prior, are vulnerable to a remote code execution vulnerability. This is patched in PHPMailer 5.2.18 which will be included with UBB.threads 7.6.0.

If you are using the PHPMailer library included within your UBB.threads package to handle any additional or custom (unsupported) scripts, you should manually update your PHPMailer library to version 5.2.18 or newer. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
For reference, UBB.threads 7.5.x uses PHPMailer 2.0.2.

Changelog 2017-01-03
• admin/movethreads,prunethreads -Updated the amount-per-process (chunk) from 20 to 100. This should account for more recent spec'd hardware. The original amount was used from 2006. The new process amount should be more than easily handled on any current PHP 5.3+ dedicated or shared hosting server, while still staying below max_execution time threshold defaults. This update should reduce the time for this process to complete.
• boardrules -Multiple minor layout corrections. Also used during the registration process.
• coppainsert -Updated the text template to replace "child" with "persons."
• registration -Fixed a long standing bug where if "Age Check" was enabled, new registrations would be processed, except the user would be sent back to the "Registration Entry" page again, instead of the login page.
• registration -Added display of forum "minimum age" notification to persons attempting to register, if Age Check is enabled, and based on the Minimum Age Required entry.
• registration -Removed mention of "children" within the registration language files, in place of the more preferred "persons" and "years old." Some forums cater to a 21+ community, where "child" may not be the correct term for under-age persons. A forum may cater to a 55+ community, where anyone 54 years and younger is... well, not exactly a child either. This update also carries over to where there is an age requirement for posting.
• registration -Replaced the Time Offset input box with a Time Zone drop-down list.
• editdisplay -Multiple layout updates and verbiage clarity.
• editdisplay,registration -Max number of Threads/Posts has been updated to a drop-down menu. This should reduce entry confusion, and improve mobile friendliness.
• left/right columns -Columns are now hidden for Login, Password Recovery, Registration.
• MyStuff pages -Avatar is now the same size as the one in the profile page. If the user does not have an avatar, a silhouette will be displayed. The left-menu is now a set width of 160px, instead of 15%. This resolves many display related issues. My Stuff now uses alt-2 as the background for the menu items. Now you can see these text items when your body background matched the color of the text (display fix). The left-menu now has a title header. This affects all 23 templates which use the "my stuff on left" menu list.
• pagenation -Removed the padding around the pagenation table. Buttons and pagenation now align correctly to the top/bottom of the surrounding cells.
• styles -All included stock styles have been updated once again, to reflect this minor display correction.
• copyrights -Updated from 2016 to 2017.

Changelog 2017-01-08
This Snapshot focused mostly on the Upgrader scripts, with some overlapping attention to the Installer scripts.
• Installer/Upgrader Utility received a complete facelift.
• Upgrader -This script now tells you where you are in the upgrade process.
Upgrader -Complete! It now just needs to be populated with the 7.5.9 => 7.6.0 change data.
• Attachment Manager -Added language strings to tell the users they can drag-and-drop their files in the attachment window.
• common.css -Added values to display the forum's background of short pages through the entire browser window height. Previously on short pages, the background would stop where the footer stopped, leaving a white separator between your footer and the bottom of the browser.
• Minor layout corrections and code cleanup.
