PHP 5.6 would be my recommendation.

As listed on the main UBBCentral site, UBB.threads v7.6.0 only supports PHP5.4-5.6; PHP7 is strictly not supported at this time.

I am a Web Development Contractor, I do not work for UBBCentral. I have provided free User to User Support since the beginning of these support forums.
