UBB.threads v7 is not compatible with php7.
PHP7 removed the mysql db connectors. UBB.threads database connectors needs to be rewritten to support mysqli or PDO. It is a major job to do, since the format sequence required for mysqli is much more strict than the sequence used in UBBT.threads v7. Completely unrelated to UBB.threads; This is true for many other legacy scripts.
Since UBB.threads is compatible with PHP5 series (5.1 to the current 5.6), we're currently advising that you continue to use one of these versions of php.
php 7 was released December 3rd, 2015, and it is still quite new (6 months old). It includes an incredible amount of new features, but also introduces many issues, some of which are compatibility issues do to the removal of key features.

https://wiki.php.net/todo/php71#timetableI am aware of what needs to be done to UBB.threads for it to be compatible with PHP7.x (
