Still here

Hi there,

Don't worry, we haven't gone away....we're still here and still coding.

UPB 2.2.6 Released

Hello everybody,

Today the UPB Team is pushing out release 2.2.6 to address a serious security vulnerability, where an attack could gain unauthorized administrative privileges though the IP logger. If you are running any version of UPB, we strongly recommend upgrading to 2.2.6.

All the promised features from Clark will have to wait until the next release (sorry!)

Please grab the update off of sf.net: upb2.2.6

UPB 2.2.6 Download Problems

Sourceforge.net is back up again. Please download for UPB2.2.6 from sf.net:

There seem to be a problem with our Sourceforge link.

2.2.5 Update

Due to unforseen events, v2.2.5 won't be released until this weekend at the earliest.

2.2.4 release withdrawn

A potential flaw in the installation/update script and a major bug in the PM system has been discovered.

I have removed 2.2.4 from release and should have a fix out later today.

I also forgot to include Nightmare's new BBcode buttons which will be added.

Many apologies

Clark
