Excuse my sudden geek out- but Proboards V6 is coming we're currently V5- I guess only admins can be exicted about this? god i need a life NOTE: And before anyone says "Is BA gonna be down for a year?" No. The only thing that will need to be upgraded for the new look and features is the themes- so expect around an hour of site downtime (but this might be longer so nothings set in stone). I won't be upgrading the site until at least most of the sites plugins are compatible with the V6 software. V5 Themes will also still be available to choose from if you don't like the new look for whatever reason If you want the full info- click below. Otherwise, @harvey has posted a rundown on it's features. support.proboards.com/thread/572595/announcing-proboards-v6-codename-phoenix

Untrue, there are a few things that will affect everyone:- tl;dr Better mobile site, posting will be easier, searching for things will be easier, people with bigger screens won't be complaining about a new theme not working properly.

I think is exciting for all the users of a forum in Proboards. Thanks for the link of the Developer Team of Proboards with the news of the upgrade. It's interesting to read (at least for me). Here is a summary: New features in Proboards v6, codename: Phoenix. - Responsive Design. - Plugins - New Posting Experience - Upload Attachments from Mobile - Native Language Support - Admin Panel Updates - Forum Search - ProBoards Store Revamp - Easier Account Switching - Paid Themes & Plugins - New JavaScript API - Reimagined CSS - Flexbox I like the mobile version. For me it's comfortable and little, and i can see and read all without need of left-right scrolling.

I'm excited for the new features!! …But All of the plugins, as well as codes within the headers won't work with v6. So until coders on Proboards Support can make updated versions of their plugins, we will be without. Plus, with v6, coders will now be able to sell their plugins through Proboards Support, which means that some great plugins won't be available for free.

Headers and footers will work fine with V6 if they don't modify themes. You're right about the plugins though and that puts me off for the time being. Unless, of course V6 comes with some features that replace the plugins.

Unstickying this thread for the time being- it'll be back when there is more news/a release date for V6.

ProBoards has released some new information regarding the forthcoming upgrade: And just an FYI, the introduction of emojis to the forum will not mean that our smilies are going anywhere. The emojis will be an addition, not a replacement to forum smilies; so we will get to keep all the ones that we love.
