Hello everyone. As I have mentioned in a couple of threads, I'm going to go ahead and apply the latest proboards update to TS. I will be doing it tomorrow morning, and it shouldn't take more than 1 hour for the update to be applied. I plan to apply the update between 8:00 or 9:00 am U.S. Central time today.
The URL will remain the same. After the update is applied, I will be adding a post to this thread explaining the new features that come with Proboards V5.
If you have any questions about the update, please post them here, PM me, or send me an e-mail at meghanjh@hotmail.com

New Features Multi-quote: Alt+Click on posts while you read, then click on any quote or reply button to quote multiple posts Drop Down Navigation: We had this on TSv2. Basically there will be a drop down menu that will allow you to jump to any part of the forum. Avatar Maker: This allows users to create custom avatars WYSIWYG Editor: Allows for easy customization of posts. Notifications: You can personalize notifications to receive notifications when someone replies to a thread you made. These notifications can tell you when someone quoted you, tagged you in a post, liked a post you made, and much more. Following: You can follow other members. Conversations: Allows PMs to flow more like threads to allow easier communication @tagging: You will now be able to tag users in posts by placing an “@” followed by their username. For example “@” “admin” will tag me in a post. ( Admin) <- This is how the tag will appear in posts Badges: You can add badges to your profile or reward badges to other users Global Login: You can create a global login that can be used on all proboards forums Participated: This link (towards the upper right) allows you to easily access threads you have participated in. |

I like the new look too. But as I adjust the settings, I have to ask,
what's the difference between 'Purple' and 'Default Dark'? It looks the
same to me.
Also, looking at the buttons here, I am wondering, is there a spoiler tag here? I don't see it. I was just curious.

I was just curious. - I think they are the same but for some reason they have the same name, I am planning on adding a couple more themes - The spoiler tag code will be something that I need to add. |

Oh, okay. Also, I noticed that the information at the bottom of the homepage auto updates the time since someone last posted something. That's really great. Though I have to wonder, does it just update the time, or does it update the most recent post? What I mean is that, when I am the last person to post something, I see the info update the time, from "less than a minute" to "a minute" so on and so forth, but if someone else were to post something, would the homepage update the name of that new post on it's own too, or would the page need to be refreshed?

From what I understand the page needs to be refreshed to show if a new post has been added, but the time since the post was made seems to update automatically. {Spoiler}And I just added the spoiler plugin. And in regards to themes, everyone is free to go to this proboards forum If you see a them you like, send me a link to the thread with the theme codes and I'll add it to the forum. More themes can also be found here. |

I see. Still, the auto update thing is really cool. And I see the 'purple' theme and the spoiler button have been updated. The new site really is looking good.

Hey, it changed more purple. Not that I mind- I light the lighter theme. I found an easy way to edit it. #1 benefit of Proboards V5 for the staff, a more organized and easier to use moderation center. This means it will be easier to add new boards and sections, create new themes, and do the necessary admin and mod jobs. |

I don't see the section with the Confabulate board. Is this just something I'm missing, or is it not here anymore /right now?

Its still in the Members Only board right under "OH GOD WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN". Edit: I just checked the settings for the board and everyone should be able to see it and members with 100+ posts should be able to access it with no problem. If anyone experiences further problems with it let me now and I'll report it to proboards. |
