UBB.Threads 7.5B1 On-Board
Please be patient as we baby the new beta for the upcoming 7.5 series. Rick has added quite a few smaller features (IOW not so obvious to the end-user but very helpful to admins) and fixed a good number of bugs in preparation for beginning work on the upcoming 8.0 series 
For a look at what's new and changed, please visit the ChangeLog.
Upcoming Events
If you'd like to have your site featured here at UBBDev with some nice search-engine friendly backlinks and discussion, stay tuned for a topic in our Promoting Your Community forum. It should be up a bit later this week.
New Mods
We'd like to thank DLWebmaestro and Kayjey for some recently released mods and blaaskaak and Gizmo for new dev work on other mods - to see what's cooking, visit the Addons and Modifications forum.
UBBSkins.com
Last but not least - if you've got a design itch, you can scratch it at a new sister site. Rick has been putting together a new associated site for us and ubbcentral over at www.ubbskins.com - it's in beta stage currently, but will be getting into high-gear once ubb.threads 8 is hot in development. Stay tuned for more.

We threw caution to the wind today and updated the site to 7.3 beta 2. It's called 'beta' for a reason, so while we're under testing mode expect to see some falling bricks, dust, and a few guys leaning on shovels.
For an idea of the thousands of things that have been changed since 7.2, please check the changelog. Thanks to Rick with LOTS of assistance from our very own Ian Spence, Sir Dude, Blaaskaak and even Gizzy and the support of the alpha testers. Hopefully the beta period won't be very long and we can get back to writing mods to break your site soon enough.
Stay tuned as we make use of the paypal integration too... we'll have the nickel tour up and running soon enough

A few things to cover this month:
Content Rulez ::
We are pleased to announce the winners of our 3rd Semi-Annual Content Rulez Contest! All sites entered, from top to bottom, really were top-notch. Many hours were invested reading each entry, re-reading, checking out other parts of the site - we gave each a thorough review. Ties in voting happened a couple times resulting in more research. Without further adieu:
Placement
- First Place - Mates Up-Over
- Second Place - SimHQ
- Third Place - Conduct Disorders
- Honorable Mention - GangsterBB
Interviews
- First Place - Mates Up-Over
- Second Place - SimHQ
In addition, Mates Up-Over won a free copy of Gizmo's Site Map mod and SimHQ won a copy of Beyond Compare. Congratulations and thank you to everyone for entering such high-quality sites!
UBBThreads™ 7.3 News ::
- Stay tuned here for a public look at the up-coming version 7.3. Rick (with some masterful assistance by our very own Ian Spence and SirDude) has been hard at work tuning up all aspects of ubb.threads and adding some highly-requested features.
For a look at the current changelog, keep an eye out here. We'll be moving to the new code here soon to open the alpha code up to a larger audience for testing.
