Proboards Software Upgrade

[bigballofyarn]

In the near future the Proboards software will be upgrading to version 5. This forum will have a new appearance and a new set of features.

I created a backup copy of the forum if any of you want to preview the new software. christina.freemessageboards.com/

Do not register on the backup board. It's works separately from this forum, and will cease to exist after I get used to the new software.

Some features will have to be recreated. Once this forum upgrades, there may be some quirks at first, but they will be worked out.

Your account will have to be re-activated after the upgrade is complete. Please make sure you have a valid email address available. Once you activate your account, you will then be logging in with your email address instead of your username.

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, feel free to reply to this thread.

So the only thing that really changes for us is the interface and how we log in?

[Georgia Lass]

^Right. You log in with your email address, and there are new features that will give the forum a new look.

Is there an ETA on this?

"Starting on January 28th, all forum admins can optionally choose to upgrade their forum to ProBoards v5. "

"We are proud to announce that on ProBoards v5 will officially be launched on April 29th, 2013!"

I haven't decided when I want to upgrade.

Good decision.

It has lots of pluses but too many codes do not work and there are too few plugins to replicate them.

V5 is very nice but rebuilding a forum is a lot of work and not being able to replicate the things you like most is heart breaking.

what happens if you change your email address or log in by phone?

[devito]

Probably the same thing that happens now. You log in with new info.
