Thanks to everyone for being patient while Proboards installed the new software. You all just kept posting right along, despite the slow server this weekend. We all woke up this morning to a new and improved board! Here are the new features.....
Quick login box now displayed on the home page for guests
Improved headers/footers functionality
Ability to change all images on the board to custom images
Set speed of news fader
Modify avatar list
Set custom status for users on the "edit profile" page
Ability to choose not to mass delete from certain forums
The main "admin" user will have the ability to choose exactly what powers other admins, gmods, and mods have.
Calendar for posting events!
More advanced member search (search by IP, registration date)
Ability to lock posts when you reply
You will be able to set the default font for the board.
Password protected boards now have the password expire so that you have to enter it again if you close your browser
New payment system so that more people are able to donate smaller amounts
changed the "/me" functionality to italicize instead of turning the font red.
Improved the "print" page to be cleaner looking for printing.
Fixed smilies so that they properly work for Opera and other browsers.
The search function is about 2-3x faster than it previously was.
You can now post up to 10kb per message (2x more than before!)
Moderators are now displayed on every page of the boards (instead of just the board index)
IPs are now displayed in instant messages for Admins
When you click "modify" or "quote," censored words are kept censored (so people can not find out what they were by clicking these buttons)
"Last updated topic" now says who the last poster was as well.
On the "Send IM" page, if you click on the subject when it says "(No Subject)" then the subject will instantly clear. If you click off when the subject is blank it changes back to "(No Subject)".
The smiley can be written as and the smiley can be written now.
Fixed bug where the "reply to topic" page sometimes showed the first 15 posts instead of the 15 posts from the page you were just on.
View Staff Members page added - displays admins, global mods, mods
On the "Members" page, to switch pages you now use a drop down menu
News fader now works for boards that utilize transparent backgrounds
The "forum jump" is now on every single page at the bottom, and is now properly aligned with the forum on pages where it was off farther to the right than it should have been.
Adjusted icons in the instant messages area so that they all line up vertically and have the same spacing between them (so it looks cleaner).
The option to receive emails when someone sends you an instant message now works properly.
"Always stay logged in" is no longer checked by default for increased security.
When you most a post, the message that directs you to the board with the new post now directs you straight to the post instead of just to the board.
You can now choose "Only allow admins and mods" to view a board.
I am in the process of trying to figure out these new features and of course some of them are only available to admins. but it looks pretty neat so far. I'm especially excited about the "celendar" feature and am on my way to play with that. If any one wants to play with or notices anything about the new features, they are welcome to post about it here!
