Dear,

Some known problems within new UBB 6.3.1 release

  • there are problems with the search engine. it returns a link to each post thread in
    same topic.
    This can be a major problem before starting an upgrade.
    An extraction from Infopop topic is:

    In the past, searches would match on each thread. Now they match on each post within a
    thread! So if 1 thread has 50 posts with a match, it returns as 50 different hits in
    the search! This has the further impact of cutting into the 300 hit maximum returned
    and effectively renders the search engine useless?

  • the date presentation of European format can be wrong.

    An extraction from Infopop topic is:

    Hi. I have my date set to European format (28 July 2002) and everywhere on the forum,
    it looks like this:

    28. July 2002

    How do I get that period out of there? I looked at ubb_forum and a few other pages
    that do $TheDate, but I didn't see where it was forcing a period.

    Also a guy return a solution for it. His answer is
    quote:

    In ubb_lib_time.cgi, there is a section that says this:

    #date format options
    if ($vars_time{DateFormat} eq "US") {
    $FormattedDate = $_[0];
    } elsif ($vars_time{DateFormat} eq "Euro") {
    $FormattedDate = "$mday.$mon.$year";
    } elsif ($vars_time{DateFormat} eq "USX") {
    $FormattedDate = "$months[$mon] $mday, $year";
    } else {
    $FormattedDate = "$mday. $months[$mon] $year";
    }
    return ($FormattedDate);

    I just changed $mday. to $mday in that last one, and voila. I guess you could say I've hacked your board, but for one character, I hardly feel like a naughty person
    the related link is 6.3.1 date display
greetings.

btw: we have mail Henri to look at this thread.
