While waiting anxiously for Rick and Company to get a new private alpha to the testing team, we're glad to see an update to the 7-series. Mostly bugfixes and a couple of new features, this one tightens up the solidity of the threads workhorse release

For the official list of bugs fixed, please see the official changelog topic at ubbcentral.

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

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.

A security bug was found in all versions of ubb.threads 7.x in the dosearch.inc.php file. A patched file has been made available to all owners of ubb.threads 7.x. Download it from the members area at ubbcentral.

Official announcement and instructions can be found here.

Rick just released version 7.3.1 to the Members Area. This is strictly a bugfix release and does not introduce any new features. You can read the Release Notes here.

The official announcement may be found here.

For those waiting for the stable 7.3.x release before upgrading, this is it, come and get it!

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
