Hello Everyone,
Zed, Karen, Ann and I wanted to let you know that Proboards will be upgrading all forums on their system at the end of April. The upgrade will have lots of changes with new forum features and improved functionality. We have decided to go ahead and get the upgrade done earlier in case there are any issues, we will be able to get them resolved more quickly than in the period when all forums are automatically upgraded. We plan on doing the upgrade on Monday, April 15.
Some of the changes include:
1. All images will be able to be hosted directly on the forum without having to use Flickr or another photo service.
2. If you are a member of other proboards forums, you will be able to transition between them seamlessly using a single account with ProBoards Global Login.
3. Send a personal message to multiple people in one conversation.
4. Create a unique, custom avatar inside of the forum with the new Avatar Maker.
5. The ability to "Like" posts!
6. A new Visual Editor for creating posts. See exactly what your post will look like while you make it.
7. Upgraded attachments system that allows you to easily attach even more files to your forum posts.
There is a lot more than this but many of the changes will be behind the scenes and allow us to moderate or change the look of the forum more easily.
Hopefully, the change will go smoothly and you won't notice anything but wonderful new features to use. If you have any questions or problems with the forum, you can e-mail me at laneruthe@gmail.com.
I have e-mailed the entire forum membership to notify everyone of this change.
All the best,
