Sure you couldn't edit them via the admincp but at least you didn't have to go off looking through a lot of perl code for bits of html.

I remember the old ubb days... The first "hack" I ever installed was a simple one-line edit that changed the "IP logged" link in posts to an image. I thought I was the man after I attempted installing that.... From that point on I couldn't help myself and I installed every hack I could get my hands on, things like; Private messaging, avatars, more than 5 moderators per forum, "Mega" (super) moderators, Polling system (board wide on the forumhome page, not per thread), Who's Online?, The Karma Hack, custom smilies and bbcode...and the list goes on and on...
