[NTLK] [ANN] Newted Community Message Boards Upgraded

The Newted Community message boards have been upgraded.

Tonight, I upgraded the Newted Community message boards [1] to a
incrementally more recent version of the Ultimate Bulletin Board software
[2]. I made the cautious leap from our cranky old version 5.39b to the
Y2K-compliant 5.47e. The one thing that you may notice with this version
is that it fixes the email time stamp issue as previously mentioned on
the Newted Community site [3].

There are a few other minor enhancements, such as "hot topic"
notification, and the usual schwack of bug fixes. All of these changes
are documented on the Infopop site in greater detail than I personally
care to go into here. If you're interested in that sort of thing, knock
yourself out [4].

This upgrade is the first step in getting the latest and greatest version
of UBB.classic [5] installed. However, I wanted to make sure that this
interim version fixed the immediate problems we were having. Please let
me know if you experience any weirdness when using the message boards
over the next couple of weeks. If all goes well, I'll start looking into
upgrading to version 6.x of the software.

Thank again to everyone for their continued support.

Grant
