ProBoards is upgrading their systems starting April 29th, so we may see some changes. Here are some of the features to come: - Host all your forum's images directly on ProBoards! No more relying on third party image hosts!
- New Live Search functionality that brings you search results as you type; Never wait for your answers again.
- A Shoutbox integrated directly into your forum! [not exactly sure what a Shoutbox does but...cool!]
- Notifications to help you stay on top of the latest updates to threads you've participated in and more.
- Send a personal message to multiple people in the same conversation, or even entire groups!
- Create a unique, custom avatar inside of your forum with the new Avatar Maker.
- Per-user activity feeds with the ability to follow other members.
- The ability to "Like" posts!
- A new Visual Editor for creating posts. See exactly what your post will look like while you make it!
- Upgraded attachments system that allows you to easily attach even more files to your forum posts!
- Lightning fast forum navigation on every page with our new drop-down navigation tree and improved hotkey support.
- At the top of each page you can see if any of the topics you've participated in have been recently updated.
- Tagging to bring a member's attention to a post.
Seems a little Facebooky but I can live with that.

so the return of avatars... not likely we'll use most of these features

I think we could always have avatars. It just takes some dedication in your profile settings so I've never bothered. And yeah, I'm sure you're right about us not using most of them. Honestly, if it weren't for Wayne being anti-Facebook, I might consider taking the boards down. But since this is the only place where we're all together, I'll keep it.

True, there's that as well. So it's not going anywhere yet.

Bah! No eras shall be coming to an end, so long as we're here.
(Fun fact: This is actually the only board I'm active in any more.)

That's in large part due to the awesomeness of our awsomosity.

I just noticed on the front page that there are exactly 800 topics on this board. I'm sure that's symbolic of something.

I have nothing of interest to add but I didn't want to be left out so I'm posting this.

okay, we need to post more often on here. I was just looking for a "like" button!

Thank you for your input, Jeffrey.
The change over will happen some time after April 29th so hold those like button urges until then.
