Upgrading to UBB.threads 8 This is a patch, not a full release. To use this patch, you must have UBB.threads 8.0.0 already installed and running. For routine incremental upgrades, refer to the UBB.threads Upgrade Guide for directions on how to proceed.
Patching UBB.threads from 8.0.0 to 8.0.1 Your forum's Dashboard will display which version you are currently running. UBB.threads Version 8.0.0, Release 20240826 is displayed in the "Server Information" column.
- If your UBB.threads version is 8.0.0 (Release 20240826), you should download the "ubbthreads-8.0.1p.zip" patch from the Member Area and replace (copy over) just the files on your forum with the files from the archive. Your Dashboard should now display "UBB.threads Version 8.0.1, Release 20251126" under the "Server Information" column. After doing that, there is nothing more that you need to do, other than update your forum software to the next latest UBB.threads version when released, as you normally would. Congratulations. You're done for now.
- If your UBB.threads version is 8.0.1 (Release 20251126), you already have these fixes. There is nothing more that you need to do, other than update your forum software to the next latest UBB.threads version when released, as you normally would. Congratulations. You're done for now.
The items listed within this patch will also be within the UBB.threads 8.1.0 release when available.
General Upgrade Notes If you have modified the software (modifications to stock code), we recommend using a file comparison tool such as Beyond Compare to ensure you are running the latest base software as a platform for your mods, where at all possible.

I just updated to 8.0.0 and upgraded my database/PHP version as well. Now bug fix 8.0.1 has been announced as released in the forum, but it's not listed in the member download area. What now?
The UBB.threads 8.0.1 Patch is located in the Member downloads area in the Patch column - the column on the right side of the page.
Its a simple install. Just extract the zip archive's content over your current live v8 0.0 forum. The version strings will be updated to 8.0.1 when you're done
Hey there, just letting you know the zip link in the members area for 8.0.1 doesn't work. I shut down an existing site to start up a new project, went to download 8.0.1 and the zip loads a blank page. Zip for 8.0.0 works just fine, so installing that now and will update once it's installed, but thought I'd pass that along.
Editing to add -- installing 8.0.0 and patching after still works just fine.
It's a patch for v8.0.0 and lacks the files necessary to be install directly, it's meant as a stop gap before v8.1.0
Ah, so the zip listed in the Members Area as 8.0.1 shouldn't be downloadable anyway? Fair enough! 8.0.0 -> 8.0.1 via patch is still a perfect fine way to get there either way.
(for reference, I mean this zip in the attached image)
Only the v8.0.1 patch should be installed to a functioning v8.0.0 (it was meant to be installed on top of the release); it has the latest fixes and is meant as a stopgap release until v8.1.0 can be completed.
After upgrading to UBBT 8.0.1 and PHP 8 and after I migrated form our old server to AmaLinux 10 (EL10) and after my host adjusted a few PHP settings we now use PHP 8.3.31 and our forum is quicker and more stable I like that. Thank you for your developing work guys! without your efforts my guess is that our dear forum would not be operational anymore so THANKS!!! 🎖️
I am so sorry to report that I am running UBBT 8.0.1 and PHP 8.3.33 and the control panel member management area is blank and the tabs do not work. Tested on both Chrome and Firefox. Is anyone else having issues with these settings. Should I ask admin to downgrade PHP to 8.3.31 instead of 8.3.33? Everything worked fine a couple of weeks ago, if that helps. Thanks for any assistance.
