A Forum Technical Issue

If I edit a post that has a URL link in it, somehow the URL gets screwed and is no longer clickable. Has happened twice today, and I've had to re-insert the URL.

Understood. I have the same problem every time I change the links in my signature line. I believe it is a bug in the forum software, which is admittedly quite old. Raul had discussed that he was trying to figure out a way to upgrade without messing up the database.

I will bring this bug to his attention and see if he has anything further on forum upgrade schedule.

Thanks for the input....I plan to move this to Off Topic.

Better trick:

Use your notepad and paste your message there...

if you change your mind and need to modify your message just copy again the code...

the problem with this ancient soft is that HTML code is turned off!, most part, but some don´t...
and when you press "edit", the code change from bbccode to Html... (that part cannot be turned off)..

Ray,

The bug has probably been resolved. We're using UBB Threads 6.1b1and the current release is 7.5.

Version 8.0

Initially, a blogging feature was planned for introduction of version 7.3, however, it was soon pushed back to version 7.4. However, with the renaming of version 7.3.2 to 7.4, it is was then planned for version 7.5 [2].

On November 10, 2008, UBB.threads developer Rick Baker began a survey on whether the next major release should include blogs, or whether it should include a GUI redesign [3]. An issue of concern is that if blogs are added in the version before the GUI redesign, the blogging feature would have to be reworked again in the next version afterward that the GUI redesign is applied to. Current plans for the GUI redesign call for true user-selectable skins, which will allow for complete changes in the GUI design rather than simply changing the color schemes, as well as a WYSIWYG editor.

On November 23, 2008, it was decided from the poll that the next major version will include blogs, and the version afterward will include a GUI redesign. However, in January 2009, it was discovered that a user created several disposable accounts to skew the results towards blogs, and that the GUI redesign was the true winner.

On January 22, 2009, it was announced that version 7.5 will be the last major release in the UBB.threads 7.x series, and that the next major version will be version 8.0 [4]. Version 8.0 will include both a GUI redesign and blogs along with several other new features.
