FINAL Version 5 Proboards Upgrade Happening NOW

[Webmonkey]

Things might look or act a little oddly while Seth and I do the webmonkey magic to complete this transition.

It may take a few days for me to make everything pretty again, guys. It's a completely new ass system.

Here's some of the new stuff we're getting:

A Brand New Proboard Shoutbox

Add colored backgrounds or background images to your posts
Add members as friends - Follow members posts on the forum
Build your own avatars
A New Like Button
Larger Posting Area - When Creating Posts
Add videos other than youtube
Brand New PM System
New Spoiler Tag -
Useful for adding author notes and links on posting pages
RSS Feed
Brand new News Box (replaces old news fader)
New button to show latest posts/threads on forum
New Atacthments -
Upload more than one image on a posting page

Now so much easier to find what you are searching for.

Also there is a new Player Name field in your Profile. So you can update that with your actual name and then people can know who the deuce you are when you switch characters, heh.

Hey! Listen!

Everyone should edit their user profiles, because the new default for proboards is to show off your email. Those of you who don't want to should change it. Thanks.

Hey, this looks really great, and the transition steps from a user side were really simple.

Thanks for all your hard work in testing and getting this upgrade applied!

+1.
The site is slick and updating was easy. Effective admins are effective.

10/10, Would convert again

Thanks for the props guys.

A *huge* shoutout to submonkey Sethron - the graphics side of this phase of the conversion has been 99.999% her baby and she's done a fantastic job. I'm super impressed. Having done this stuff a lot of years, ir feels great to have someone as knowledgable as she is in my corner... and in all of yours.



Now comes the time for you folks to keep an eye out for glitches and other issues. We know the shoutbox hasn't yet been inserted back into the sidebar, however considering how little it was used, I'm not sure how interested people are in it.

Anywho, post to this thread if you have issues or questions about features. I'll try to answer back as quickly as I can. The community will be able to see more of the nooks and crannies of this system more quickly than that two of us will any day.

Feel free to experiment with new features, try liking posts, sending PMs with the new PM system, post stuff, use odd message board tags and funky colors. Let us know how your user experience is.

Thanks!
