No, thats not what i'm saying, i'm saying that UBBDev exists because modding your forum in general voids your support to using the helpdesk at groupee for support (support can be obtained here, ubbdev, or the support desk; generally most support would occour here or ubbdev; especially if a mod was causing an issue).
Most of th eitme you request support it's here, and not th egroupee helpdesk, which here I doubt rick cares if you're using a mod or not.
as for what version to run, I'd push for 7.1
