Proboards V5 coming to a forum near you soon.

[eyebrook]

This is going to be painfull
I just know in gonna go up in a puff of smoke

[jeanie]

I bet it must be a right pain in the bum for you Chrissie but I think it will be worth it and make a big improvement for the forum.

Thanks for the hard work you are putting in and I hope the changeover runs smoothly for you.

Us Mods have also been able to look/play with the new format, I really like it got to say, it's a more modern look . . . there's many funtions that are easier than now as well.

Once Chrissie has worked her magic with the coding, it'll be just like home, only better . . . sure it'll take us time to get used to it, but we'll all help each other, as we do now.

I think it's rather exciting.

The time has come to (convert to V5)

My finger is on the button .....

Well press it then woman- tut

Has it started yet ??? Being a computer dummy, I cannot see any difference at this time.
If you don`t see any further posts by me, you know I have `cocked it up`.
Hope it`s not farewell to my forum friends. #icon_cry#

Not yet Jeff . . . Chrissie will have to close the forum to make the changeover and then migrate all the coding she has worked on, on the Beta Board.

No one is going anywhere either.

[jeffc]

Thanks Perpetua.
For putting my mind at rest.
I had my Vamo, LT,& wood mod in my mouth vaping at same time to get over my `panic` attack.
Must go and have a lay down, feeling light headed. #icon_hopeless#

[Chrissie]

Sorry to have confused everyone - as per my post @ #29, I'm not going to push the button till next weekend

[dave]

Sounds exiting - It must be a hell of a lot of work Chrissie, I hope you don't panic too much when you are about to push the button

[Banky]

Had a gander on the Proboards themed conversion looks like ,
dont think its going to be any probs.
Looks good Chrissie.

[Chrissie]

Cheers everyone

Banky, the default skin (Theme) will look even better & I've added a couple more skins to the choice we have already. One being a black/grey skin that is still work in progress & there will also be the choice of the Proboards' theme.

Greigster, some things will be very different. But the basics of replying to a thread & starting a new thread will be the same. Apart from some added extra's

Proboards support has already converted to V5, so have a look at that to see what a Proboards themed conversion looks like -

support.proboards.com/

I'm planning on pushing the button next weekend

Looks a bit like a Vbulletin board

[Chrissie]

Bomber, if folks really do want a shout box, it will be very easy to add one - not too keen on them myself though

Goofy, I think that's the general idea of the long overdue upgrade - i.e. Proboards will fit in with the scheme of other forum hosts.

[lazydog]

The biggest problem with a shoutbox is when people get excited or drunk they reply without thinking and cant edit it at least with a forum post after the red mist has gone they can reread what they have written and apologise or argue their point.
