UBB.threads 7.3 beta 5 is now in the Members area and ready for testing. This should be our last beta. We plan on fixing any lingering bugs reported in this version and then we should be ready for the final release.

Since this is beta software, it is not recommended that you run this in a production environment. Rather, you should setup a test forum, or copy of your existing forum to upgrade. Not only will this help us find any lingering issues, but it will give you a chance to get accustomed to the new features and permissions.

The standard Upgrade Guide can be used for this upgrade if you're already running 7.3 beta 4.

If you're upgrading from a previous 7.x version there is one difference. Normally, on an upgrade you do not upload any files in the styles directory. For this upgrade there is a styles/common.css file that you will need to upload. This is a css file that contains some common elements that get applied to all stylesheets.
