I needed a change of pace, that's all. I made sure to pick a time to leave that wouldn't damage the project.

I'll still be around on UBBCentral, and around here. I'm even going back to hacking on Classic again.

Hi Charles, thanks for the info... ... thats good news for all Classic Fans

Thank you CC! Your work on .classic will go down in the history books of forum development. The best of luck to you in whatever you do next. I know you will be an asset to whoever gets you next.

So us beta testers were told that they'd, "...be contacting [us] in the next week..." with details. This was about 11 days ago. Perhaps they have contacted us via email and something happened to mine? Have any of my fellow beta testers heard anything? Just want to make sure I haven't missed something.

I'm in the same boat i was last month

My account over yonder has been suspended... please tell me they did that to everyone's.

I accessed the member's area just a couple hours ago.

I'm referring to the Beta Testers' little space on the Web.

Okay... nevermind... I found out why... and it's a huge pile of BS if you ask me...

Here I am, a UBB user since 2000. I participate in supporting other UBB users at ThreadsDev and UBBDev by answering questions, helping with other UBB sites, and writing code modifications. I volunteer my free-time to help them beta test their new product, and stay true to them, never once turning to another product. I have kept my board on hold for years waiting for them. I ask an innocent question here, since it my only form of contact since the Beta Site was closed. My intentions were honorable.

And now this? This is how they treat me? Stating that they said they'd contact us in a week is NOT detrimental to their project in the least.

Don't feel bad. Back in the 6.1 days I was a beta tester and found myself "removed" without any warning or notice. All I can say is it just gave me more time to devote to other interests.

For those who missed the Annoucement at UBBCentral, or the monthly newsletter, there is a Public Test site for Threads 7.

Take it for a test drive today!

I'm confused as to whether Threads 7 is the NG product. I know they are stopping support of Classic per the June newsletter and we can download Threads from the member area, but it this the total path choice? Must not be if there is a beta for something else??

Reading back in the last 3 pages of this thread answers my question, but what if we camp on classic and wait for NG? If our membership is paid up for years, even if we don't download threads, will we still get migration to NG whenever?

Threads 7 is the replacement for both classic and threads. The licensing has been unified, and you will be able to download Threads 7 when it is released, as long as your Member's Area is current.

Just to clarify, in simple terms... UBB.Threads 7 = UBB.NG.

That is what I was thinking at first was that it was NG but then some of the posts made it sound like it wasn't out yet. Think I will download and mess around with it then. Thanks, guys.

It's not out yet When you go to the member's area you have threads 6.5.5 and classic 6.7.3 available

Public Beta of Threads7 is schedualed for around June 15th.

For those watching for the Pubilc Beta, keep your eyes on http://www.ubbcentral.com/version7/ubbthreads.php/ubb/postlist/Board/1 for the announcement.

I figured it would have been on:
