Another UBB software version update

Mr. Dobbins:


I just read that UBB is coming out with version 8.0. Do you know when Trapperman.com will be upgrading from version 7.7.1 to version 8.0 ? Will there be many changes to the website , when the new 8.0 takes effect ?

I doubt 8.0 will be fully released until next fall the way they operate. Some cool updates in the latest releases though.

It has been tested to be compatible with php 5.4 - php 7.4.

I don't think I have ever saw a forum update that I liked. Some things are just fine the way they are.

Amen on that. Older I get, the worse I hate change.

I think I logged into a foreign language thread by mistake.

It is a foreign language. It's called ' Geek Speak' ......

I have no idea. My forum guru takes care of all that stuff. I'm ignorant when it comes to software stuff.

Don't feel alone....I can skin me a buck or run a trotline, but this this country boy don't eat no software. Hardware is nails and screws....
