I'm ready to get my upgrade going.

I need to renew my license and all that first.

I will be going from 5.45c up to whatever is the latest and greatest.

There is one small problem though, and I'm not sure if it will affect my install. My board currently is running fine, however new users cannot register, after filling out the form and hitting submit it just brings up a blank page. Not sure what is causing this.

Also, I did one small "hack" to my board which allowed custom user titles. This was done years before the board starting experiencing the problems with new users registering though. Don't know if this will cause any problems. If I remember correctly it was just a few lines of code.

Anyone have any tips/tricks or links to read up on so I can upgrade from 5.45c ---> up. I did the original install myself with little trouble and was hoping I could do it again.

Which one of these do I need to purchase also:
-UBB.Classic Standard License: $199
-Member Area Renewal: $99
-New Install: $175
-Upgrade Install: $129

I still have my original license information.

Thanks guys!!

Since you have your original license information, you can purchase a Members Area Renewal for $99.

A comprehensive guide to upgrade your boards from 5.x to 6.x can be found at https://www.ubbcentral.com/support/docs/ubbclassic/UBB6_upgrade_5_to_6.html

RonM: thank you for your quick reply! You think with the board acting funny (new users cannot register) or the small hack I will experience any MAJOR problems while upgrading?

I'm not the best person when it comes to 5.x Troubleshooting. It does sound like something funky is going on with the board.

If you are intending on updating to 6.x, you could probably get help with that via a support ticket.

There's a file in the download section of this site that will remove that extra profile field you've added:

Member Field Strip - English Version (#!/usr/bin/perl)
Hacked your UBB.classic to add extra member profile fields, and now you have to remove them to upgrade? Download this file.

Custom user titles are one of the many features found in recent versions of ubb. Here's a list of the major features added since 6.0 was released: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/10/2234.html

Upgrading to 6.7.3 would/should clear up the registration issue you are having - quite possibly a permissions error on a file. you could try one of the rebuild members links in your control panel to see if that clear it up, or at least reset all files/folders in your Members directory to 777.

I guess I cannot do this. It says:
"Leased License Has Expired
This was a leased license that is no longer valid. It expired on xx May xxxx. Leased licenses (which are no longer offered) offered only one year of use. In oder to continue using your UBB, you need to purchase a new license. You can do so here: Order New License

Since it was a leased license, you would need to purchase a new license. Purchasing a new Standard license grants you 1 year of Members Area access, in addition to the upgrade to the latest version.

There are additional license options which give you extended or lifetime access to the Member's Area. Those can be found at https://www.ubbcentral.com/order.php?product=UBB.classic
