I'm not 100% sure on upgrading from 6.2 (wow) but I do know that you'll need to get to v6.5 to do the upgrade and the standard upgrade path to v7 is:
From UBB.Threads v6 would be
- Upgrade to 6.5.5 (as the importer will only work with 6.5.x)
- Import to 7.2 (as there have been some bugs in the past with the permission matrix change in 7.3)
- Upgrade to 7.5.8
From UBB.Threads v6:
- Upgrade to 6.7 (as the importer will only work with 6.7)
- Import to 7.2 (as there have been some bugs in the past with the permission matrix change in 7.3)
- Upgrade to 7.5.8
The only version of UBB.Threads that'll run on the newer builds of PHP is v7.5.8
