Hey everybody! Guess what I found out! Hopefully before New Year we will ahve a totally refined cool new whatever the hell awesome proboards! YAY!!! Learn about the featuresVersion 4 FAQScreenshotsWhen people sign up after Proboards version 4 is released, they must be at least 13 years of age. I think people who are already members and don't have their age posted has to put something at least age 13 or up. If anything below 13 is posted they get their membership taken away by the system. B/c of the fools that have made news and ruined the internet for the non-fools, this is one of the main rules being enforced as of version 4 by Proboards. Soon I will add this rule to the site rules that you can find above for people who don't get it. Isn't this exciting?!

Well, here is version 4 of proboards. This is just one of the forums that is available. Our forum will be updated automatically by the server admin so everything will be all set. The only thing I don't like about the new version are the lines...why all the lines? click for version 4 support boardI think in this version we can actually give karma to each other. Karma is my favorite invention when it comes to forums! ;D

ooooo neat! MysticWicks.com has karma points, I always found it cool. You can always stay away from certain people because of it, most of the time the karma points given are pretty accurate of the person lol.

Okay folks, here is the real deal, from the server admin himself, give it up for Patrick! lol Really though, I am getting a little annoyed that it is taking so long. I expected it to be here by the end of February. I'm hoping that it's taking long because he's fixing bugs. Anyway, he tells what the release date is, so click his name and find out. Edit to add: You know, I never read the feature list thoroughly, but I can tell you, proboards will be looking and as usuer friendly as many of those VB boards. (i.e. MysticWicks). I mean, one of the best things I've seen was that I can preview the colors before changing them! What a blessing! And also, you guys know how sometimes I might post images of the board banner? Well, I don't have to put it directly into my post, instead, I can simply click, "add attatchments" and post! Someone asked in another thread about polls. It didn't mention anything about editing them. But I know on MW you can do that. We have the option to add anywhere from the 8 options we have now to 30! *reviews* -Password reminders will be much easier. -Birthdays will be added to the calendar above as well as show up in a birthday box at the bottom of the forum. ;D (I don't know if the age will show, but I know on sites like MW and Sikhphilosophy.com it shows the age) -We can actually have sub-boards! If any of you remember the classes we tried to have, we can do what I originally wanted to do and hide them so the board won't look too big. -We'll also be cool and have one of those "Most users online ever was 'X' on (date) " -Notifications of new replies in new threads system will be more user-friendly. Check out MW's site and how it looks with all the features. A lot of the stuff mentioned on that features page linked in the first post of this thread is what is on MW. Aren't any of you excited about this? Okay, I'm done. ;D

It might take a little longer than expected. Patrick wants to upgrade 4 servers a day starting May 2nd. He's going to test the support forum by allowing us to play around with the new upgrade for a few days in case there are any problems. He doesn't anticipate any. Also, when our board gets uploaded which, if things go as planned, will be on May 4th I'll have to check to see which of the codes will work and which ones must be gotten rid of. So if things start looking funny, don't worry, I'll fix it. Upgrading time could take as little as 10 hours and be as long as 24 hours. But from what I've seen and read folks, it will be well worth it. All those VBulletin boards you belong to that have all the cool things like karma and buddy lists will be available to us for free. So things will be looking beautiful and our community can truly be a real community. I'm happy. lol Oh yeah, here's proof (click)If you're having any troubles with the board remember to post them in the Posting Guidelines, Questions and Feedback board.

Well, the upgrades will start within a few hours. When it's our server's turn, there will be this link at the top of the forum.

Yeh....I noticed the server said it was busy for a very long time. That made me figure they had begun the upgrade process.

No, I think it's busy because everyone is excited about it. However, when our server gets upgraded, our boards will be taken offline for a while. It could be down anywhere from 12-24 hours. But believe me, I've had experience with version 4, and I'm liking it. ;D I'll just have to be sure to come on right away to fix any conflicts with the current codes I have. But from the list I've viewed, there shouldn't be any.
