We've just upgraded to beta 1 here. We're testing things out, making sure everything goes smooth and should have this packaged up and ready for customers to download as soon as we finish up the documentation.

Just a note, it isn't recommended that you run this as your production site just yet. The importers will be in the members area as well, however since it is the initial beta release we do expect there to be some problems or issues. So, it will be best to setup a test install so you can play around with it and report any issues that need to be addressed.

On another note we'll still be using these forums for all things related to version 7. Within the next couple weeks or so we'll probably update the actual ubbcentral site and import all of the old ubbcentral posts as well. The site just needs to be redone abit in order to do this.

So, I'll be throwing up a few more forums here for questions and such.

And this is why I should never mention a date until I know for sure frown I hate to disappoint those of you who have been checking back all day to see when this would be available for download.

We've been spending so much time on last minute feature changes, graphics and bug fixes that we totally forgot about the documentation. This really just isn't an upgrade rather almost an entire new program and we can't really throw it out to the public without having some type of documentation to go along with it.

We're starting on this immediately and as soon as I can I'll let you know when this will be available. In the meantime I'll be working on any possible bugs I can find in hopes of shortening the beta period.

Again, I am very sorry. I hate to be the bearer of bad news especially when even I am very excited for all of you to be able to start using version 7. Thanks for your patience.

[Edit]Had to repost this to clean up this topic, it was a bit confusing laugh

We have a very large database - over 20,000 members - and we had huge problems when we converted from classic to threads. I will be quite happy to do a test run of the upgrade utility to find out what the problems are before I try to do it "for real". If that upgrade utility is available for the beta release, that'd be great.

There is a migration utility for both classic and threads which will allow a smooth migration over to the new version of threads; testing on the threads importer was primarily done through ThreadsDev.com's database and all went well.

We've got a lot of the images finished for dark backgrounds so I added in a dark style for testing. You can change to this style in your preferences.

Rick, the new dark format looks good. Only one glitch, the new post icon is Red-Xed.

Hmm, can't seem to duplicate the broken image problem. Can you do a screenshot for me just so I know exactly where to look?

It's directly above your name in the post. I'm seeing it with IE6.

I know the installation guide is finished and that work on the admin guide started late last week. I'll try and get some more info.

You know, Rick, you could always let us muddle through things on our end until the admin guide is set to go ... we won't tell a soul! wink

I concur. smile Repeatedly stress in the download area that it's a beta and that documentation is incomplete. As long as there's an installation guide, the people smart enough to muddle through it themselves will install and play with it, while all the warnings should help to scare off those who have no business installing undocumented software.
