The Epic BB (http://megaboard.epicgames.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro)
uses this software but Version 5.05 (most recent is 5.09) they have the ability to edit messages and search the site including inside messages. They also convery things like :) into smily graphics.
So it looks like there is an updated version out there.
It's a shame their board is so DULL.
I expect you can't upgrade without losing data which is a shame and their board looks quite new (and empty)
Look at their FAQ for a list of features.
If anyone wants to know more the UBB site is at:
http://www.ultimatebb.com/
and has a lot more info.

You can upgrade without losing info, how about it Firaxis?
ZanThrax posted 09-04-98 12:14 PM ET
Yeah, they can do it at the same time that they add more server power to reduce the slowdown on large threads & multiple users reading and posting at the same time :) (Smiley graphics are cool. How wide is the selection? Can it make a nifty pic for something like this - ;] or how about this - 8-{ ?)

Thanks for the research MikeH, just what we need, and at just the right time, too!
How about this one: =`v�= :?
ZanThrax posted 09-04-98 01:11 PM ET
Is there a site with a list of these things, and maybe some of the abbreviations. I get stumped on anything much beyond IMO or IMHO.
ZanThrax posted 09-04-98 01:13 PM ET
Does Firaxis read this Forum at all Mike? Maybe we should put a new topic in each of the other forums called "Hey Firaxis, go look in the Site Forum!" Then you could repeat your sales pitch in the initial message.

Thanks for pointing this new version out. We've all been really busy with the game but I'll take a look at this upgrade.
Thanks for your patience...

Nice to see you back Mr. Ely. The upgrades would make everyone happy.

Thanks MikeH.

......make everyone happy, as long as we dont lose *ANY* threads, or number of posts. We all spent *ALOT* of time earning those posts.

Sorry about the double posts
(kick, kick, kick.)

I would not mid seeing some of these threads get "lost" during an upgrade though.

I feel sorry for Malabres. I hope he didn't ask for e-mail notification of his topics. An innocent question turned into a debate over WWII, a comparison of European vs. American schools, AND now a debate on capitalism vs. communism vs. socialism(That last one was my fault. I guess that's why I appear to be the only capitalist.)
Yo _Yo_Yo_Hey posted 09-04-98 07:51 PM ET
Who knows what it'll turn into next? :)

AUH20,
I'm not communist [really!] I said that the ideal system would be a working communism but that there is no such thing as a working communism. [I hope you see this.]I am truly a capitalist.
AUH20 posted 09-06-98 01:36 AM ET
I was kidding, Borodino. But it seems to me like capitalists are badly outnumbered by socialists and communists. Imram, would you mind giving us a help out this weekend?
Tapiolan poika posted 09-07-98 03:48 AM ET
Hey U, capitalists, can any of you honestly claim that there exists such a thing as a functioning, _pure_ capitalist country on the face of our present planet? ;)
Tapiolan poika posted 09-07-98 03:50 AM ET
By the way, where's this chameleon thread you posted about? I've been too busy *working* (Aaah, the horror, the horror...) to keep up with posting...
Pretty please - or should I ask you capitalists how much you want for the information? ;)
MikeH posted 09-07-98 05:22 AM ET
I posted a message in one of the threads on their BB asking about upgrading on Friday but noone has answered it :(
Mike, thanks for looking in to this, I hope it doesn't distract you too much from the game. :)
MikeH posted 09-07-98 05:24 AM ET
Sorry about that apalling grammar in my last post. I meant:
On Friday I posted a message in one of the threads on the Universal Buletin Boards BB asking about upgrading but noone has answered it :(
MikeH posted 09-07-98 07:32 AM ET
BTW the upgrades are free, even if you have got the cheapest licence.
