Hi All,
We were updated to the new proboards 5.0 today. It was going to be forced in late February, so I'd rather get the kinks worked out before March comes. It is crazy right now, but the new update gives 100% freedom on html and css...basic web development stuff.
I'll be tinkering over the next few weeks, so please bear with me. Please put suggestions below.
Thanks,
~Joe Fedorowicz Philahoops.com

My one request to everyone on the board is for everyone to come up with some kind of avatar. It's a bit messy looking at threads when most of the posts have the weird South Park "Goobacks" avatar to the left. Maybe it's me being weird but a quick scan looks like threads posted all by the same person

I liked on the old board when you clicked on the thread title it would scroll down to the new posts automatically for you. Not sure if everyone else liked that or not.

Next time you log in, you will have to "upgrade" your account and it asks you to select a new password. I used the old password, entered that twice, and it worked. just wanted everyone to know that, in case you were wondering.
. Any way to make the avatars wider in internet explorer? or it may be time for me to get a real browser.
. "Stories from around the web" are crap, but I guess it pays the bills.

Give everything some time. Like Joe said, this was going to be forced on us in a few weeks anyway, so it's not like we made a decision to do something for no reason. I'm sure we'll get used to some things, and tinkering will improve other aspects.

Not trying to be a critic, I think the board has overall improved. just getting some known issues out there for benefit of testing.

Yeah, I wasn't addressing you specifically. Just in general.

I access from my phone mostly. Is there a way I can turn off that annoying pop up that keeps asking if I want to start my own free forum?

The blue color is awful. Please change.

That was default. How about now?

Regarding the Karma system, I can put it back if you would all like.

I do not understand why explorer88 did not like the navy and gold colors. Now it just looks like Cheltenham high school. ("panther blue" and yellow.) Again, not being a critic, just sharing my opinion.
Thanks for fixing the avatars size.

Thanks. I am a rookie to the smart phone. I found the desk top option and it works much better for me.

That was default. How about now? Can we change the blue to a subtle yellow or gold? It's not the most discrete for those of us at work...

Any way to make links default to open in a new window on the PC?

Any way to make links default to open in a new window on the PC? That is more of an HTML per user thing. Most browsers have a setting to do this, I believe.

lasalle08, hit the control button as you press on a particular link. I think that's what you're looking for.

This is not good; where are all the threads. Avitar! I can hardly type!

Added something that will count the number of likes a person gets. I can return the old Karma system if you would all like, but I feel that this one is better.

Ok, this was more of a defect in the old board than something gone in the new one. I believe that if you click the "new" button next to the post, it will take you to that latest thread. I think... ~Joe Fedorowicz Philahoops.com

The new browser interface for mobile phones is smoother than before. Thanks Joe and Neumann.
