Isaac is pretty much the guy writing the UBB software so what he tells you is pretty much the deal. A support ticket asking for a guarantee of a time table will not get any different results.
I was a beta tester in the past and see he is a very accomplished and experienced programmer that really does all his research and own testing before the beta testers test the software. If you join the beta testing team with many others the more beta testers involved can and will make the change over easier and faster.
Fill out the forum and join the team, contribute to the testing program and help in the development of the UBB platform.
