UBB moved away from CGI because CGI is old, expensive, and useless. UBB now uses "UBB.threads" a php/mysql solution.

heX ... do you own your own server or are you renting from a hosting company? If you are renting, do they allow php and mySQL?

For another alternative, some boards are in ASP or XML.

Sheesh, I've had TTT on about all of them...

xmbforum, phpbb, vb, ubb, invisionboard, the list goes on and on...

and ubb still has a cgi version available, well, last I saw, which was in the past few months.

And to all you bitches, there's one I haven't tried yet, PHORUM IS NEXT, FUCKERS!

if your server is a windows server you could try an asp-based forum like this one (http://forum.snitz.com/) or maybe another one but i don't really know any others by name.

it doesnt allow files that start with a period so we are assuming its windows.

how much will it cost to get some one to get this working on my current server?
