Hello, I see a lot of interes around UBB 8, but I could not find a date (or a predicted date) for the release of UBB 8. I am also very excited about the idea of having some designers that will add some new themes to UBB 8 (at least Rick mentioned this), but can you have some Designs (themes) also for version 7.5 until 8 will be released?

We don't have an ETA yet, but I can repeat what I had sent out in the latest newsletter. We're roughly halfway done with the front end update, and that's really only in about 1 months time. In contrast to the control panel when I was developing solo which took several months.
That doesn't necessarily mean that we're 1 month away from being finished, since obviously there will still be more to do, but it's just an idea of our progression now.
For 7.x, any skins created or made available will have to come from the community. All of our focus is being put into version 8.

there is still no ETA, I'm sure Rick will let us all know when he knows

Any news on the 8-th version? It's kinda frustrating to purchase a license waiting for a major release to come, only to find out that another year has gone by.
An ETA would be useful to find out whether it's worth the wait or if I should switch to another BB software. I suppose developers already have some roadmap with a timeframe. Otherwise I would start to think badly of their working culture while we clients stay on our heels. It's called ETA because it's an estimation, not a fixed date that causes you to rush :-)
So, where are we? Halfway? Three quarter? Alpha? Or nada?
[censored] the ETA! One year licence renewed for no update, no change ... for nothing!!! While other forums are being well supported, the only activity here is to get some bucks from Hosting! I am packing and leaving UBB! It was so stupif from my site to renew my licence in the last 5 years for nothing!
We just need to hang on just a little longer, from what I understand we are on the brink of private beta testing. Rick and his team are working very hard to turn out a big major upgrade which would be a complete overhaul of the existing product. The Hosting aspect took a short amount of time to set up and I don't believe it's fair to use this against anything.
All credits go out to Rick for listening and taking feedback from his customer base whilst working on this major overhaul which as I understand is nearing completion.
