just a quick warning really, Proboards is currently updating all it's forums to Version 4 (V4) which means the forum may be down for a while but when it returns it'll be better then ever! my forum's doing it now so BtVSfigs could upgrade anytime soon. so if you cant access the forum in the next few days, you'll understand why

Shame it will have to be closed down for awhile but so cool. Does anyone know what’s new about V4?

It's weird because on my laptop, when I try to access the forum, it shows that updating screen, but on my family's computer, I can access just fine.

maybe it's sitting in the middle right now, the forum is just doing the last finishing touches of upgrading. so it's letting some people view the forum, and some people still get the updating screen. like a 50/50 chance thing maybe? *shrugs shoulders*

It has been hell waiting for the forum to come back. I kept on coming onto the computer to see if ti was back and I just kept on getting the Proboards V4 slideshow. I don't know how I managed when I went away for two weeks last year and had no computer access.

So far I'm loving V4, the little quick reply thing is a life saver. Only bad thing is that the attachments are a paid feature but I'm so glad to be back. Just noticed this, but why do we now have two sets of stars?

First impressions: The navigation is slightly different and will take some getting used to... Overall, The whole thing looks and works a bit differently, and I expected more under the hood changes than all that we have here. I'm sure I'll get used to it though.
The good: I can turn off signature viewing! Whoo hoo! I for one hate signatures... seeing the same pictures (banners) every few posts drives me insane, as does reading the exact same quotes over and over.
We now have location info so it'll be easier to know who is typing English as a second language and who is just a horrible person who uses painfully bad spelling, grammar, and netspeak.
I also saw something about displaying birthday/age info which would be handy... maybe cut down on all the 'it's my birthday' posts... not quite sure where to input that info though.

I like most of the upgrade, but every time I click on something, it keeps telling me that there are too many connections.... It was much quicker the old way... I like the rest of it though, it's just slower for me...

I don't really like it. Some parts are good like having your Location displayed, the quick reply box and the Karma this is a nifty idea. But I'm having the same trouble as Louvampyer - everything is really slow. I guess it'll take a little adjusting...

Nice to see the extra details about the members and spell check facilities are excellent. I keep getting the "Too many connections" error message too, so I am hoping its because everyone has withdrawal symptoms and has jumped on the board together.
Couple of questions: What is the "karma" thingie? Ditto for exalt and smite? Anyone care explain? Please?

I also keep getting the too many connections and it's not showing my icon or banner. Personnally I like the forum the way it was before.

Couple of questions: What is the "karma" thingie? Ditto for exalt and smite? Anyone care explain? Please? Karma is a way of rating a member, you click exalt to raise there Karma (Good) and smite to lower it bad (Bad) so smite people you don't like or feel is a bad member and exact if you feel there a good member and you like them. You can only give a person Karma once an hour, that's one person an hour.

I'm not liking it so much either. I tried to post this in another thread, but...the 'Too Many Connections' thing came up so...sorry if it's gonna wind up being posted twice.
Anyway, is there a way to go to the newest post in a thread when you click? For instance...on the main page, I saw that Dawn had posted in this thread, so I clicked but it took me to the first page instead of the last post of the second page. Is there a way around that or do I need to go to the thread and and then go to the last page eeeeevery time?
