Proboard v4.5 Update

This forum will be upgraded sometime during the next two days. During that time, it will be unaccessible. The upgrade should take less than an hour and all functionality will return once it is completed.

Here is a list of some new features you will see after the upgrade:

o Ability to hide results until users have voted/poll is locked
o Ability to retract votes


* Vastly improved speed on post and member searches:
o 1,000 member limit for top posters has been removed
o All users can now be displayed in post order, irrespective of forum size
o Member lists can be sorted in any order

* Character limit in posts and personal messages has been in been increased from 25,000 to 60,000 characters.

The update has been completed. You will notice some changes to the look and feel of the forum. We will still have to tweak some settings, so some more changes are in store.

Also, it appears that all of the boards and threads are "new," just click on each, then click "mark as read" to clear it.

I disagree that it is improved. Having to input the desired page, rather than just clicking on the desired page is not as usual friendly.

If you put your mouse over the page number information, a box should pop up that lists the next pages, etc. I found it to be an improvement over the drop down box that was there before.

Thanks, that is better. Strike my comment from the record.

You may delete your own posts by simply clicking on the "delete" button. It's on the end next to the "quote" and "modify" buttons. The "delete" button will not appear in others' posts but only your own posts.
