PROBOARDS - SCHEDULED DOWNTIME FOR UPGRADE!
Dear ProBoards.com Member,
We plan on releasing a new version of the ProBoards message board software between Saturday, February 1st, and Sunday, February 2nd. This may result in your board being inaccessible for up to 6 hours.
This new version is a significant upgrade from the previous version of our message board software. Here is a list of some of the things you can expect to see in this new version:
Improved headers/footers functionality
Ability to change all images on the board to custom images
Set speed of news fader
Modify avatar list
Set custom status for users on the "edit profile" page
Ability to choose not to mass delete from certain forums
The main "admin" user will have the ability to choose exactly what powers other admins, gmods, and mods have.
Calendar for posting events!
More advanced member search (search by IP, registration date)
Ability to lock posts when you reply
You will be able to set the default font for the board.
Password protected boards now have the password expire so that you have to enter it again if you close your browser
New payment system so that more people are able to donate smaller amounts changed the "/me" functionality to italicize instead of turning the font red.
Improved the "print" page to be cleaner looking for printing.
Fixed smilies so that they properly work for Opera and other browsers.
The search function is about 2-3x faster than it previously was.
You can now post up to 10kb per message (2x more than before!)
Moderators are now displayed on every page of the boards (instead of just the board index)
IPs are now displayed in instant messages for Admins
When you click "modify" or "quote," censored words are kept censored (so people can not find out what they were by clicking these buttons)
"Last updated topic" now says who the last poster was as well.
On the "Send IM" page, if you click on the subject when it says "(No Subject)" then the subject will instantly clear. If you click off when the subject is blank it changes back to "(No Subject)".
The smiley
can be written as and the smiley 
can be written now.
Fixed bug where the "reply to topic" page sometimes showed the first 15 posts instead of the 15 posts from the page you were just on.
View Staff Members page added - displays admins, global mods, mods
On the "Members" page, to switch pages you now use a drop down menu
News fader now works for boards that utilize transparent backgrounds
The "forum jump" is now on every single page at the bottom, and is now properly aligned with the forum on pages where it was off farther to the right than it should have been.
We would like to encourage our members to test this new version of our software by visiting our sample forum, located at the following URL:
pbv3.proboards8.com
Please feel free to register, post topics and test out the forum software. Be sure to check out some of the new features!
If you find any bugs, please report them to us in the PBV3 discussion area located at:
