Brilliant!

Bloody brilliant - everything UBB should have been if they had listened to their users... Excellent - templates too! :):)

You very likely have a(nother) sale - just a couple of things I will wait for:


I want to see how stable this whole thing is over the next few weeks
Activethreads - a must have - it's amazing how many people drift into our forums after clicking on a link from our home page. Please, please, please (!) add a function to the code so that I can SSI in the details of the last xx posts on my homepage.
Member centre - our users are real fans of the memberlist hack from UBB - please consider this :)


One final request. How about a utility which would allow us to revert to UBB if we choose ? I am sure we would never wish to do so, but it would offer real peace of mind to the more hesitant forum owners out here :)

Wahey! I love the preview ability!

AND the local time feature is inspired! (though perhaps you could change it to a drop down box with the names of cities, or the timezones themselves, listed as options ?)

Nice, another person who likes it :)

John has had it running on his site for quite a while now, and had imported all info from his old UBB with at least 35,000+ posts and over 7000 Members.

Just so you know:D

Thank werehere,
That is certainly reassuring, but that is on a single server configuration, no ? I am sure that it's fine, but i'll still hang fire for a bit ;)

Stability - as werehere said, it has been running on our server for 2 months now with an active lively community of 7000+ members and 40000+ posts.

Activethreads - good suggestion. We will try to get a SSI script together soon.

Member center - this is currently on my longer term to do list. It will feature in versions in the future certainly.

Excellent news.

Please can you look to make the active threads wotsit so that it writes to a .txt file, rather than the way it is now - that it runs a cgi each time, searching the database of posts - my hosts hate that! :)

[bigsoccer tech]

For active Threads to be executed correectly it must be:
1. low overhead...just write to a text file as needed
2. you should write to a master text file, one for each forum, and one for each categry. this allows you to pull in threads from various parts of your boards into appropriate content areas of your site.

What you guys don't understand is that due to the fact this is written in PHP and MySQL, you don't need to use a text file. Having it auto-select from the database will be just as "system-intesive" as loading the main forum page, if not less :D

I'll be more than willing to hack this in, once I get a copy.
