This is a bug-fix release. There are no new features in this release other than the two added items mentioned below. And those two items are extremely minor.
This is the final build in the UBB.threads 7.5.x series. It is also the final build to be compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and older (Windows XP).
The UBB.threads 7.6.x series is compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 and newer, and major browsers which support HTML5, such as Chrome and Firefox.
UNCOMMON: It’s advised that if your forum users are primarily IE8 users, that you stay with version 7.5.9 of UBB.threads.
NOTES: As of January 12, 2016, Internet Explorer 8 is no longer supported by Microsoft on any client or server version of Windows.

- Avatars next to post, now link to the member’s profile page.
