Yes V.7 works on the 8266 boards I purchased.
That's good to hear. The issue must be with the ESP32 only.
If you are not aware, the OLEDs will burn over tine and the pixels get dimmer. Try not to have the OLED on all the time to try and preserve it, unless you want them on 24/7, in which case expect to have to replace them every few years. The brightness is a factor in the do running it dimmer will increase longevity. I did ask Steadramon to add some code to enable brightness control, but he hasn't included it yet.

Yes I'm aware of the short life of OLED displays, but they're cheap and I have plenty of spares. I don't know if it's implemented correctly but if you add the pushbutton (pin14) you can control the OLED display that way. It will turn it off and change pages https://docs.espgeiger.com/output/oled . I have the pin14 pushbutton on the ESP32 boards (currently re-allocated to WiFi setup) and 2 more unused buttons I can connect but of course that code doesn't work.

Messaged Steadramon via Github and he's looking at fixing the bug. There's already a 0.7.1 version posted but I'm not sure if it can be loaded via the web install. Will check later.

Web install not updated yet so I downloaded the 'merged' bin file (which has the bootloader included) and at first it failed. I didn't realise I had to change the offset from 0x1000 (default) to 0x0. Loaded ok and seems to be running. I configured the WiFi stuff and have the portal config screen, so I'll see how that goes.
Yes, it seems to be working, except no OLED display

It actually wasn't working - the counting was poor/absent. I was beginning to think the wiring was supect but it was correct. Then I thought it was a bad connection but I saw the same behaviour on counter #2. I installed the NOPCNT version (no SP32 hardware counting) and it now works perfectly. So wiring good - code not so much.

Figured out why the OLED display doesn't work - the SDA and SCL pin allocation is transposed on these ESP32 boards from the expected 4 & 5 to 5 & 4 respectively. It's never going to work. I could change the definition in OLDDisplay.h and recompile I guess. Cheap boards, they make up their own standards.
