Just a heads up that Proboards is doing a major upgrade to all of their forums:
"
ProBoards v5 is coming soon!
We're excited to let you know that on April 29th we will begin to upgrade all forums to ProBoards Version 5. This free upgrade to this forum contains literally hundreds of new forum features and improved functionality."
I would anticipate some downtime around that date... not saying there will be for sure... but something to keep in mind.... they give an option to upgrade early, which I'll be looking into (given at least I'll be able to control when the forum will be affected)
I'll keep everyone posted....

If you go under your user profiles, there are a LOT more options than the old forum... including personalizing your avatar among other things...

I like the new look, very web 2.0. But I think the background needs to be changed to something wider.

Looks pretty good and surprisingly works faster on my stone age internet. Not sure why that is...

I love the jpeg artifacts all over the green dice at the top.
The new proboard avatars are way too creepy imo, also losing
images in the signature is rough!

okay, how's that for fixing the signature? I have no idea what a jpeg artifact means but I can certainly try changing the picture... went with the "band of brothers" marine pic after Ray wanted it changed, so I'll certainly adapt the forum to suit! (within reason of course) and the avatar thing you can still choose to use a pic other than proboards avatar for certain... Dave's avatar freaks me out every time I see it....  |

Ooooh very nice, 40k in the bigger background, but fantasy in the title slot! Lookin' snazzy! Thanks for fixing the signatures  I think dave's avatar is an accurate representation of who he is |

What happened to the "Mark Threads Read" button that the previous incarnation had?

it should automatically flag "new" beside threads you haven't read... not sure the button of which you speak.. but I'll look through the admin options...

Yes, the new ones are automatically marked for me to read; but the button in question marked all the threads I wasn't interested in reading as "Read" so that I wouldn't have the "NEW" flag everywhere. |
