Download UseBB 1.0.10

Version 1.0.10 of the open source bulletin board program UseBB was released on Sunday. UseBB is intended for a website with a small to medium-sized group of visitors and is developed in PHP and MySQL and is therefore platform independent. UseBB 1.0 dates from mid 2004 and the development team realizes that there are quite a few things that could be improved. That is why we are working hard on version 2.0 and only updates are released that fix bugs and security vulnerabilities. Below are the release notes for this version:
