We appreciate all the good comments on the design, usage and support we provide for each of you. We have over the years, listened to your feedback, your comments and your ideas.

YaBB 2.5 released July 4th http://www.boardmod.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1278408690 BoardMod Support Forum/News http://www.boardmod.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1278408690 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 10:31:30 +0000 I'm pleased to announce a new YaBB version: 2.5 AE (Anniversary Edition). The release date was chosen because of YaBB's 10th anniversary, congratulations to YaBB and thanks to the development team for putting so much work into this. The new version comes with several new features (some highlights: code syntax highlighting and more ajax support) as well as tons of bug and layout fixes. It also sports a new template theme (see screenshot below). For a detailed changelog, please refer to <a href="http://www.yabbforum.com/community/YaBB.pl?num=1247546019" target="_blank">the official YaBB announcement</a>. <a href="http://www.yabbforum.com/downloads.php" target="_blank">Download YaBB 2.5 Anniversary Edition</a> Screenshots: <a href="http://www.yabbforum.com/img/screenshots/y2.5ae_large.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.yabbforum.com/img/screenshots/y2.5ae_small.png" name="post_img_resize" alt="..." title="..." width="139" height="107" border="0" style="display:none" /></a> <a href="http://www.yabbforum.com/img/screenshots/y2.5ae_post_large.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.yabbforum.com/img/screenshots/y2.5ae_post_small.png" name="post_img_resize" alt="..." title="..." width="150" height="105" border="0" style="display:none" /></a> Server Downtime http://www.boardmod.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1278770607 BoardMod Support Forum/News http://www.boardmod.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1278770607 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 15:03:27 +0000 As some of you might have noticed, we had some <a href="http://www.yabbforum.com/community/YaBB.pl?num=1278594444" target="_blank">trouble with the server</a>. Everything should be up and running again now. Nothing should have been lost, but in case you spot an issue, please let me know. <img src="http://www.boardmod.org/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/boardmod/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> boardmod.org moved to a new server http://www.boardmod.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1278935014 BoardMod Support Forum/News http://www.boardmod.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1278935014 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 12:43:34 +0000 Since your hosting provider XIMinc is going out of business soon, we had to move to a new server. I'd like to thank Corey Chapman who made it possible to host this project for the passed 10 years free of charge. Our new host is sourceforge.net, which we already used for file releases anyway. The domain boardmod.org has already been updated, so there should be no visible change for the user. In case you spot something not working correctly, please let me know. <img src="http://www.boardmod.org/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/boardmod/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> New host sponsored by uk2.net http://www.boardmod.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1328829585 BoardMod Support Forum/News http://www.boardmod.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1328829585 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:19:45 +0000 As you might have noticed, the recent server issues with our previous host sourceforge.net has forced us to move on. Thankfully we got a generous offer by <a href="http://www.uk2.net/" target="_blank">UK2 Hosting</a>. We now have our own server which we can adapt to our specific needs (perl of cause <img src="http://www.boardmod.org/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/boardmod/cheesy.gif" border="0" alt="Cheesy" title="Cheesy" />). The new speed will bowl you away.
