ProBoards recently upgraded to a new version. You may have noticed that the forum was down for a bit. I am ironing out the kinks due the customization of the code, so you may notice some slight changes. One thing that has been changed is the location of the link to your Private Messages area. Previously, you would see Message status/notification at the bottom of the main header. Now, to access your PM area, the link is located in the Forum Stats area at the bottom of the screen. You'll also notice a new "Quick Reply" feature. Hope that is enjoyed as much as I think it will be! I'll post updates/changes here. I've been saying f o r e v e r that a combined forum is coming. And it is. Life's been a bit crazy around here lately Keep tuned for the testing phase, I'll be needed some guinea pigs soon

What does the combining of the forums entail? I stop by the main page once in a while, but don't know much about that board. Are there a lot of members, and can we expect a lot of action when it happens? And what happens with our threads and profiles, any major changes there?
Just curious, I know you're busy Colleen...so feel free to ask me to shut my pie hole and not worry about it...LOL!
Thanks...Seth

Seth... Shut your pie hole. bwaahahaha There are close to 200 members signed up at the other forum, but it doesn't appear to be as active as this forum. I'm hoping that the increase in people will mean an increase in activity. Who knows. Now for the really sucky part. It will be a new forum. Which means *everyone* would need to start from scratch. I hate that, but unfortunately, proboards will NOT allow access to the data stored on their servers, so I'm not going to be able to move anything from their server to mine. The alternative is to keep this board and make it the main. I'm not comfortable with that because of the ads. Ideas are greatly welcome, though. I hate for this to turn into a major PITA for everyone here and there.

No big deal IMO, we started over here not too long ago....can do it again. I'm sure it'll be a good board when all is said and done.
BTW, what does the karma thing mean?

Thank you As for the Karma thing... It's a numerical system you can use to rate forum members. I'll find out more about it and letcha know. And yes, the upgrade has been causing an influx with people checking their forums and removing extraneous code. I would anticipate seeing that ungodly annoying message for about a week or so. Sorry 'bout that, wish it were more in my control. I'm trying to keep the look and feel of the new one as close to this version as possible. That's the reason it's taking me so damn long.

ARRGGGH.....this "upgrade" is annoying! Stupid thing made me activate my account! It's enough to make a guy wanna Spyder, I had that issue several times as well. Colleen, I appreciate all your hard work ! I concur with Seth-FooWiF that it's no big deal to have to start over on the new board.

I need to find some kind of Troll emotodude for y'all when we transfer The activation thingy has some bugs, so I hope it wasn't a huge PITA for you all. I wish programmers would test more before they release shit, you know? There's also a bug with the avatars, so if you're not seeing the little headbanging dude, it's because he was removed, and I can't put him back now! Happy, joy. Anyway, the news for today... Spell Check is now included in the reply area, so I removed that annoying box at the top of the screen. There IS some good in all this. bwahahaha I'll post more soonly, hard at work...
