Regarding the message:
This forum will be upgraded within the next 24 hours to ProBoards Version 4. This message board may be unavailable for between 24 and 36 hours during this upgrade. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Just curious... how will that effect the board here? Any new features, etc.?

greenguy, MyTatuo - I hope it is o.k. for me to answer this, as I have already been through two upgrades on two boards, of which I am admin on one and moderator on the other. To members - the difference will be that when you try to log in after the upgrade, you will have to reactivate your account. If you have an AOL email address, you may have trouble, so try using a different email address. I really like gmail, and if anyone wants it, I can send you an "invite". (I have a few.) After you are reactivated, you may still have several days where, when you try to log in, you might get a "too many connections" error message, or other little glitches. Be patient and wait it out. Generally, things calm down in a few days. One of the servers is having a lot of problems, but most of them are o.k. To admins - There are lots of new features, but not all of them are easy to figure out. We try to help each other, because Proboards Support is trying, but many, many admins are on there asking questions. Sometimes you can find your same question, and the answer, already posted. Or, you can ask me. It might be something I've already figured out.

Interesting. So this upgrade is something that just gets pushed out automatically and is not an 'option'? Don't know much about running a message board so I'm just curious...

There will also be many new features available to posters, not just admins. See the 120 announced upgrades here.

Karma (optional feature). Each user can have their own karma, which other users can praise or smite a user to increase or decrease the users karma.

I feel like tiny Ralph at the end of "Divorce, Venusian Style"; shrugging and waiting for something interesting to happen...

Two Observations:
I'm glad that I can now display my name as "The J-Man", and not "TheJMan" as I was forced to do previously.
I wish, in my profile, I had the option of displaying my age without also displaying my birthday. I'd like people to know that I'm 36, but not make it any easier for them to steal my identity.

Hey, I didn't see this before...didn't know what was going on. I came back a week or so ago to post and I was logged off and had to reactive my account. All's well. Here I be.
